Viktor & Rolf Bonbon and Flowerbomb Holiday 2016 Fragrance Makeover

/

Yes...Fragrance bottles get makeovers too and who other than Viktor & Rolf to show us how it's done for this holiday season. Bonbon and Flowerbomb - two of our cult favorites - are getting all dressed up for the holidays!

Let's call this flacon of Flowerbomb "Frozen Rose". It is getting dressed up in a pink (rose) crystal flacon in the style of frosted glass. The neck of the bottle is decorated with a feminine pink crystalize rose around it. The composition remains the same as original edition with top notes of bergamot, tea and osmanthus, middle notes of jasmine, rose orange blossom, freesia and orchid and base notes of patchouli and musk.

It is already available here in 50ml bottles and will be limited edition for this holiday season.

Bonbon gets dressed up with a pretty and pink double bow around its neck for this holiday season.   The composition remains the same as original edition with the melted creamy caramel, dripping Tahitian vanilla and syruped canned peaches. More specifically, the notes include mandarin, orange peach, orange blossom, jasmine, caramel, cedar, guaiac wood, sandalwood and amber. It has an 8 hour+ longevity and a memorable sillage.

Which one are you putting on your holiday wishlist?

The Lure of a Sweet Gourmand: Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Fragrance Review

/

Melted creamy caramel, dripping Tahitian vanilla and syruped canned peaches. Would you believe me if I told you that I was just describing a fragrance? Sounds scrumptious right? As much as I'd love to eat that right now (um hello ice cream sundae), I'm actually describing Viktor's and Rolf's Bonbon EDP - a gourmand fragrance.

So in case you don't know, a gourmand fragrance is a perfume that has sweet ingredients in it and smells almost edible. Literally, your mouth will begin to water the second that you smell its succulent notes and fade away into the scent of its dessert-like qualities. That's exactly what happened with me when I first got Bonbon.

I ordered Bonbon on a blind buy, of course because of its beautiful presentation, but mainly because it's the little sister to Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb - which I've been obsessed with since 2008. Now although this is the little sister to Flowerbomb, I find Bonbon to be a bit more grown up and seductive. It opens with a huge explosive of caramel and sugary sweets surrounding it and as it dies down, the heart notes of peach, orange blossom and jasmine start to take over. Now I find the more grown up and sophisticated part of this fragrance comes in when it starts to settle into the base notes - specifically the sandalwood and cedar. Surprisingly, I love how the earlier sweet notes blend into the woody base to form a more concrete and sultry scent.

Notes includes mandarin, orange peach, orange blossom, jasmine, caramel, cedar, guaiac wood, sandalwood and amber. It has an 8 hour+ longevity and a memorable sillage.

Now for the fun part - our Bonbon giveaway! This bottle is just too pretty to keep at the CCC HQ so I want one of you to be able to win your own. Here's how to enter:

I want to know what tickles your taste buds (as well as your nose). Leave a comment on this blog post telling me your favorite type of candy and why you need this bottle of Bonbon in your collection. I will choose one winner from all of the comments on Tuesday, July 12th at 5:00pm EST. Open internationally; 18+, to enter. Odds of winning depend on number of entries received.

Good luck everyone!
