Viktor & Rolf

Flowerbomb Nectar

Flowerbomb Nectar by Viktor & Rolf is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2019 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot and black tea, moves into jasmine, rose, orange blossom and orchid and dries down to patchouli, vanilla, praline and benzoin. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.

Dry-down

• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
• Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
