FLOWERBOMB Perfume By Viktor & Rolf
The latest addition for Summer 2010 to the very gorgeous FLOWERBOMB by Viktor & Rolf perfume family is the FLOWERBOMB Eau de Parfum Rollerball ($22 for 0.33 fl.oz/10 ml). Exclusive to Sephora. I love this travel friendly version of FLOWERBOMB. Also, it is perfect if you are new to the perfume and not ready to buy the big bottle.
I must admit that at first I was a bit unsure if FLOWERBOMB perfume By Viktor & Rolf was the one for me, but after sometime it grew on me and I’m truly in love with it. After experimenting with many (and I mean very many) perfumes in my lifetime FLOWERBOMB By Viktor & Rolf is a total classic and on Marta Walsh’s best perfume list of all time (at least ‘of my time’ LOL).

EAU MEGA Viktor & Rolf MINI MEGA Perfume
New Perfume for Summer 2010: Loving the new EAU MEGA Viktor & Rolf MINI MEGA eau de parfum ($50 for 20 ml). Flowerbomb fans I suspect you might be ‘on fire’ to find out how EAU MEGA smells in comparison. Well, EAU MEGA is not as musky and it has a bit of a zesty, fresh, and fruity notes to it. But it’s not that pure floral and pure fresh scent which I’m not into it, it’s much more complex and rounded. For day time use perhaps. If I like a perfume, though, I wear it day and night, so as always feel free to make that decision yourself. All in all, EAU MEGA MINI MEGA is a very lovely and very wearable perfume. It ranks on my top list of best perfumes of all time. A big responsibility I know, but I just love it!
EAU MEGA Viktor & Rolf MINI MEGA Perfume. Fragrance notes: basil, sandalwood, peony, musk, aquatic notes, cedar, cashmere wood, white musk, citron, pear, jasmine, violet leaf.
EAU MEGA is back with MINI MEGA. “A new super heroine is born. Her world of beauty and glamour becomes reality, she megafies the world.” Viktor & Rolf
