Sex Bomb, Sex Bomb, I Mean Flower Bomb!

So maybe my mind is in the gutter but whenever I hear someone mention FlowerBomb the first thing that enters my mind is Tom Jones prancing around in really tight slacks singing Sex Bomb (ya well he does it for me so bugger the hell off!)!

Hey..what can I do? My mind works in weird and unusual ways!

In all my travels I have never once actually had a chance to sniff Viktor & Rolf's popular perfume!

Not a once.

I dunno why. I dunno how. But a sample, a squirt, a sniff has not passed beneath this nose!

I shop perfume like I shop cosmetics, in obscene quanities!

My mate Lily works as a staff writer for a mag and in her travels she gets to test out just about everything we all want to get our hands on! Cosmetics, Fashion, Etc...you name it and she's tried it out years before we even glanced at it!

She's been raving to me about FlowerBomb for about 500 years now (Damn I look good for my age)!

On and on raving...I'm talking about the raving that you want to tell her SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!

In all the raving I have never once been tempted by the general idea of even smelling this perfume never mind buying it!

I'm a fruity type, I'm a foody type, I'm a sweet type, I am not, however, in any way, shape, or form, a flower type

Flowerbomb? I mean that shouts floral now doesn't it? Now way! I do not want any part of floral. Floral perfumes remind me of an 80 year old woman! I'm sorry! No offense to 80 year old women everywhere but I'm not 80 nor do I want to smell like I'm 80! When I'm 80 I'll consider it but for now I'll happily smell girlishly delightful with my candy like scents and fruity bits, throw in something that smells like cookies or a cake and I'm happy!

I happened to get my end of a swap this week from MUA and my terrible, evil, naughty swap mate threw in a tin vial of Flowerbomb (It's customary to throw in extras with your end of the swap)! I took one look at it and threw in the draw never to be seen or heard from again!

I happened to open said draw this morning and my mate Mai wanders in and begins squealing like a 4 year old child about how wonderful Flowerbomb smells! I'm sitting there thinking oh jesus here we go another person that wants to rave about the awesomeness of this perfume! Suddenly, out of no where the word "sweet" leaves her lips...

Hmmm my ears perked up...sweet you say.....after that the words "vanilla" left her mouth....my ears started to wriggle at this point....

Maybe I needed to rethink this Flowerbomb thing...hmmmm.....

I opened the vial very carefully, made a face, wrinkled my nose, and inhaled.....

Oh
My
Goodness!

This wasn't what I had originally expected. This isn't floral this is sweet nirvana!

It's amazingly difficult to even begin to explain the complex blend of this scent! It's almost like a sweet spicy smell! The sweet far overpowers the spicy! It's candyish yet also has the strange warmth of baked goods. I don't get any floral from it at all really...it's just an interesting concoction that has many different layers!

I've fallen so deeply in love with it I've purchased the regular large bottle, the extreme bottle, and the anniversary set from Nordstrom.com yesterday! I really couldn't resist!

Try to avoid being as weary as I was and get to your nearest posh perfume counter to have a test! It's truly wonderful! I can't wait for Nordie's to ship my order so I can knock the socks off of men far and wide (well..not all men...just one in particular that's gone and stolen my heart! I'm kidding I'm kidding! Wrong Link! I swear!)!
