Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid - Eau de Parfum

Adorable Bottle!

I received this mini ruby orchid flowerbomb on a spend x promo and it’s the absolute cutest! The bottle just makes me heart smile and the scent is very unique and interesting.

Awesome fall scent

I absolutely love this fragrance! While I'm not usually a fan of warm scents, this one is amazing. It has a deep, warm richness with notes of ruby orchid and bourbon vanilla. I get tons of compliments, and it lasts. this is definitely a great option!

Love this’ Tried out the mini first … yum!!

I am absolutely addicted to this fragrance. I was a huge fan of ‘Angel Innocence’ but Mugler discontinued it. I wanted something that made me content and get that ‘perfume high.’ For me, this was it. I wear it all year long & found my new signature scent. I’ll mix it with flowebomb at times but mainly like it straight up lol. and will also

Scent profile fell short for me

I am in search for my signature scent. FBRO was in the running initially. There’s a note though that is slightly off putting. I can’t quite place it other than “old woman”. Which I am but not the scent I wanted.

love the smell of this fragrance, but what a disappointment that it barely lasts! that’s my only con with it.

go to scent for summer

i love this perfume. i think certain perfumes are a bit too popular for me to wear like black opium. this scent is so good if you like a sweeter gourmand kind of scent. i always get compliments on it and greet staying power!

my bf got me this today for my birthday ive been looking for a new signature scent this is amazing and smells like heaven

Favorite scent.. I’ve been wanting this one for a while.. sweeter than a floral.. definitely a night time scent.. love!

These responses have to be from young wearers under influence! There is no scent after 5 minutes! DO NOT BUY BLINDLY! :(

So much better than the original FB

Of all the V&R flowebombs, this and Nectar are my favorites, handsdown!

Smells Like Baby Powder

I don’t know if I received a bad bottle or what, but in-store it smelled amazing and floral. At-home it smells like baby powder. I saw some complaints saying the scent doesn’t last, but for me it definitely lasted the entire day. I just didn’t want to smell like baby powder all day.

Glad I Didn't Purchase the Full-Sizes!

I bought five 'sample' / travel sizes of Viktor & Rolf perfumes to compare them: Good Fortune, Ruby Orchid (Flowerbomb), Nectar (Flowerbomb) and the Original Flowerbomb. I also bought a sample size of Viktor & Rolf's BonBon Couture perfume. According to Perfume Descriptions: Ruby Orchid is 'bold,' the original Flowerbomb is an 'explosion of 1000 flowers,' Nectar is a 'potent' perfume, Good Fortune is also described as a 'potent' perfume, and BonBon Couture is described as an 'intensive perfume, stronger than the original BonBon perfume.' Now, I won't get into 'scents' here, but I will say: none of these perfumes were intense, strong, explosive, bold, or potent. In fact, I had to check the packaging to be sure that I hadn't accidentally received the less-potent 'Eau de Toilette' versions of each perfume. I didn't - I received the 'real' / strongest version of all of the perfumes. Nectar Flowerbomb, Original Flowerbomb, and Ruby Orchid Flowerbomb all smelled nearly identical to me. Out of the 'Flowerbomb' bunch: I'd rate Ruby Orchid first, because it was the strongest-smelling, followed by the Original, because it had some scent to it, followed by Nectar, because it smelled like nothing. But I should note that I had to practically DUMP all three of these Flowerbomb perfumes onto myself to even catch a whiff of scent. Good Fortune was probably my 'favorite' out of all five - however - if you hate apples and have to take a bite out of five different types of apples to pick the 'least offensive' then I suppose that'd be Good Fortune. It didn't smell 'bad' - it was actually quite pleasant - but when I say it was my 'favorite' it was only because it was just slightly stronger than the Ruby Orchid. Bonbon Couture was awful - for all of the supposed fragrance notes in it, all I smelled was incense - it was super heavy on the patchouli - yuck. It was definitely the strongest-smelling, but it smelled awful.
