I am a perfume lover, always have and always will be. I love smelling good, and I like being around amazing smelling people. I collect a lot of perfumes but I don’t keep all the bottles, wish I had the space to keep them all. However, the only perfume bottle I am 100% going to be keeping for a long time think is my new Marc Jacobs Decandence, and if you have seen the bottle, you will know why. I will be writing a review on that perfume soon, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, we are going to discuss Viktor & Rolf’s Bonbon Eau de Parfum.
I first came across the Viktor & Rolf perfume brand when I used their first perfume – Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum, some years ago. That was my first time hearing of the brand, and the perfume was recommended by the sales girl at the perfume counter at that time. I decided to give it a go. Thank God I did, because I got to discover how amazing Viktor & Rolf perfumes really are. So when Bonbon was released, I knew I had to have it.
Here is how the brand describes this fragrance:
BONBON, a timeless sensation inviting a pure and absolute pursuit of pleasure. She who wears Bonbon, dresses herself in perfume whilst creating her own story. She is empowered, beautiful and complete.
Caramel characterizes the scent’s evolution. From inception to completion, the caramel notes mature from a sharp, edible top note to softer and milkier in the middle than darkening to add depth to the base note. A pure delight, a haute confection.
Here are my thoughts:
PROS
- The bottle is so beautiful and unique, shaped as a butterfly. I am contemplating keeping the bottle once am done with the perfume.
- It smells amazing. It has a very sweet fragrance, and I get so many compliments when I wear this perfume.
- It is long-lasting. I wear this perfume quite regularly and it stays on all day.
CONS
- The price. My 30ml bottle costs me a whooping £50 at Debenhams, and that is the smallest bottle available. However if you know anything about the Viktor & Rolf perfume brand, you will know they do not come cheap. A 50ml bottle costs £70.50, while a 90ml bottle goes for £96. The good thing about this is because it smells so good, and is long-lasting, you won’t need to spray too much. A little here and there will do for the entire day.
I recommend this perfume to any lady thinking of what perfume to try this spring/summer. If you have the funds to splash or just feeling like spoiling yourself, Viktor & Rolf Bonbon is the perfume to get. It is worth every penny, trust me.
What do you think of this perfume? Have you tried any perfumes from the Viktor & Rolf brand?
I’ve not tried any of the Viktor and Rolf perfumes before but I might have to try this next time I’m in Debenhams x
You should. This perfume is great x
I love VR Flowers bomb. For over 10 years I was Faithfull to Armani Diamonds. But then I received a VR flowerbomb sample in the post and instantly fell in love. I could not stop myself from buying the full size product. It very quickly became my primary fragrance.
Oh nice. I love Flowebomb too.
I am a huge perfume lover and not tried this! A sucker for a pretty bottle x
The bottle is divine.
Hi there, how are you? I have to say, I really do love the look/design of the bottle. It so pretty. I need to try this out. xx
It is an amazing perfume.
What a lovely bottle, so cute for a dressing table. Think it is a bit pricy for me but would make a great gift from hubby !
Yeah make the hubby buy it. Lol
That’s one cute n pretty designed perfume bottle, I’d buy it for that alone! ( :
I know. So cute x
I love the bottles that perfumes come in. They always look so interesting. I bet it smells amazing too.
It does x
I adore the bottle, but this is one scent I am not sure whether I like it or not x
Oh really?
I adore that bottle how gorgeous is it!! I totally need to give this a try. x
It’s lovely Sarah.
I’m not really much of a perfume person, but that bottle is so cute!
Yes it is. Thanks Emily x
I am a huge fan of the brand but have to say like the flower bomb one the best.
Yea that is a great perfume too. I think I prefer that.
I loveee the smell of this! But you’re right, it’s quite overpriced. I find I wouldn’t want to use it with it being a lot of money x
Yea I get what you mean x
I love the bottle but I’ve not tried this perfume, I must have a sniff when I visit Debenhams next.
You should Claire. It’s great x
£50? *covers eyes*. I really miss perfume! My damn skin is just too sensitive since I had a tiny human! This looks fab though and I had never heard of Viktor & Rolf!
It is a fairly new brand with some lovely pricey perfumes. Thanks Kelly.
I love this perfume, it’s one of my favourites, but I do agree it’s quite expensive.
Yea it is x
I have never tried or even heard of this before but sounds lovely! Does sound pretty expensive though!
Yea it is but worth it in my eyes.
I haven’t tried any of them, but I will do next time i’m at the perfume counter, I’ve never been a perfume wearer, but when i’m in a queue and there are so many different scents right under my nose, it makes me think that I need to find something that I love to wear and buy a bottle!
You should Mandi. It’s amazing.
Oooh this does sound gorgeous! I love the bottle 🙂 Kaz x
So pretty right? Thanks Kaz x
I’ve never tried this brand but have always loved looking at the pretty bottles. If it lasts long enough then it can be worth the price x
Yea it is x
the price would put me off but if I smelt it and loved it then I would have to have it looks so pretty too its hard to say whether you would like it till you get to try it
Yea guess you have to take my word for it and try it. Lol.
I am in love with the bottle design first and foremost and secondly I think this is the perfume I was spritzed with as I walked past the perfume counter in Selfridges and it was gorgeous!!
It really is.
Love the look of the bottle and the smell sounds great too, will check it out next time I’m in a department store:-)
Cool 😎
