Have you ever smelt a perfume for the first time and thought “This is ME. This is MY scent. This is the ONE. This is what I’ve been searching for MY WHOLE LIFE. This is DESTINY. This is LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF!”... OK maybe that’s just me and I’m completely insane, but being a self confessed perfume junkie (yes I just said junkie even though I hate that word!)I feel like I’m always searching for ‘The One’. You see I don’t have a signature scent as such; I have a collection of signature scents. I view my perfume collection as part of my wardrobe, therefore I have perfumes for certain occasions/ particular outfits that I feel work well with the particular scents (Does anyone else do this or am I just weird?). So you see I admire people who have ‘a’ signature scent, because I feel like they know exactly who they are and exactly what they like ... I on the other hand don’t or at least didn’t until a few weeks ago.
The moment I discovered ‘Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb’ was a
special moment. I honestly fell in love with the scent instantly, and I know
that may sound pathetic; but it’s true.
I’ve always loved and admired Viktor & Rolf as designers and
understood there design philosophy and vision. The concept and creativity of
their collections have always inspired my own work, so it was obvious that I
would be intrigued to find out if the perfume captures the same fairytale like
magic. Honestly I can hand on heart say that without a doubt it does! It’s
amazing! It’s the kind of smell that you wish was your natural scent (how cool
would that be?). It’s a very very very
(emphasis on the “very”) girly feminine scent, which is perfect for me as I love to smell like a flower ( Yes ... I am slightly addicted to floral perfumes!). The scent is incredibly lingering and in my opinion gets better throughout the day (Its definitely more of a daytime perfume). I'll admit that I do indeed feel quite chic whilst wearing this fragrance, which I'm guessing is a sign of a good perfume as I am far from chic!
If its glorious scents of mingling jasmine, rose, freesia, orchids,and patchouli aren't enough to amaze you; then look at the packaging! The bottle is absolutely beautiful and would be the perfect addition to a dressing table (if only I had one! ugh!). So all in all I'm in love with this perfume, although I'm pretty sure you worked that one out for yourself! I'm not saying that this in my 'signature scent' forever, because I do like choice (and I'm indecisive), but for now its definitely a number one contender!
Do any of you have any "LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF" stories or any perfume recommendations?
Feel free to comment as I love reading about other peoples favourite perfumes ... I'm weird like that!
