Flowerbomb Extreme Eau de Parfum ($39 - $150; sephora.com) is a new launch from Viktor&Rolf, a warm fruity floral with notes of raspberry, rose absolute, vanilla bean, orange blossom and jasmine. The opening is a perfect mix of sweet and floral, without it being too heady or cloyingly sweet. The rose and raspberry stand out to me, but it does lean more sweet, compared to the original flowerbomb and isn’t heavy on the patchouli, like the original. I love the original flowerbomb as well and it is one of my go to fragrances for about anytime of the year, while this is more of a spring-summer pick for me. The drydown is soft and very slightly floral from the orange blossom and vanilla. While I can’t smell too much of the jasmine, it still is floral enough to keep it fresh, yet sophisticated much like the other Flowerbomb variants. I also think the longevity of this is great - I could get a whiff of the scent almost until the end of the day and the opaque pink bottle looks fabulous too. Definitely one of my top fragrance picks to checkout during the ongoing Sephora sale!
