Perfumes Mentioned in this Review
- Flowerbomb Dew
- Flowerbomb Midnight
Flowerbomb Dew
Flowerbomb Dew is a Floral fragrance released in 2020. The top notes are pear, ambrette, dew drop and bergamot. The middle notes in the perfume are rose and iris and the base notes are musk, cashmeran and heliotrope. The projection is low to moderate and the longevity is moderate.
Beve found the open to be sweet, fresh soft and delicate with a freshly-laundered cotton scent. As it progressed to the mid notes, the rose and iris came across as soft, floral and petal-like. As Dew warms up she noted different aspects of this fragrance coming to the foreground. She found that when it was extremely hot it pulled a little bit more powdery and musky. Whereas when she was in an air conditioned environment, the fragrance changed and was more about sweetness and cashmere. In the dry down it’s mostly a sweet, musky, cashmere scent. Beve found Dew to be easy to wear as it was very relaxing, comforting and soothing. It made her think of lazy mornings, lounging, being in your own space or cuddling up to someone.
Flowerbomb Midnight
Viktor and Rolf released Flowerbomb Midnight in 2019 and it too is a Floral fragrance. The top notes in this perfume are black currant and pomegranate. The mid notes are peony and night blooming jasmine and the base notes are white musk and vanilla. The projection is moderate and the longevity is moderate.
On the open Beve found Midnight to be sweet, a little bit fruity, a little bit sensual and very, very pretty. The scent just wrapped itself around her and pulled her in – she found it to be hypnotic. The floral note of peony and jasmine in the mid was just divine.
The hotter Beve got the more potent the fragrance became. It sat very close to her skin in the beginning and stayed that way until her skin started to heat up. As soon as her temperature started to rise, Midnight became more and more potent. All of a sudden she noticed it starting to project and release this sensual and intimate scent. When Midnight dried down she was left with sweet muskiness and vanilla.
For Beve, Midnight is a very intimate perfume. It’s not for daytime and going out or any of those type of day-to-day activities – this is an intimate encounter fragrance.
