What does Flowerbomb Rose Explosion smell like?

Bergamot, mandarin orange, saffron and pink pepper give a fresh, lightly spiced opening. Rose and jasmine lead the heart, with olive staying in the background. Amber, vanilla, patchouli and oud carry the base into a woody, powdery, gourmand sweetness.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, full build reads as feminine and suits those who want a noticeable trail. Chanel Allure Sensuelle (Eau de Parfum) and Yves Saint Laurent Opium Vapeurs de Parfum have a close profile.
