Like the rest of the series, this isn’t a formal sort of fragrance. Really depends on how warm it gets where you live, during the part of the year. It’s fine to venture into the springtime. But, I don’t think that it’s too heavy to be relegated to just that time period. Seasonally, this is best in the autumn and winter. Again, a little better than Ruby Orchid, at the high end. I got a few different outcomes while testing it, but each time it fell within that spread. The longevity is somewhere in the 7-8.5 hour range. You get a pretty powerful sillage in the opening act, but that will moderate. I think that it’s slightly stronger than is Ruby Orchid, but probably a tad below the original Flowerbomb. Nectar does have a nice ability to project. That’s mostly what I get for the remaining of the wear. It doesn’t seem as bright and is colder, but the jasmine and osmanthus do sell the floral part of this fragrance like its predecessor. It’s a lot like the original Flowerbomb, just with amped up vanilla/tonka bean and the inclusion of that gunpowder. The blackcurrant is all but gone, but I do still get some of that osmanthus. Vanilla and tonka bean are major players at this point. The blackcurrant doesn’t appear to just be the berry itself, but also the cassis leaf, which gives a slight greenish aroma with the patchouli note.Īs we get further along, it is still sweet, just less fruity and more of a syrupy quality. I also get some of the orange blossom and patchouli early on, but neither of those ever feels to significant in the mix. It’s very much like the note found in the men’s fragrance, Luna Rossa Carbon. To me, the gunpowder is slightly metallic, and only a bit smoky. What you will notice that is different here, is the resinous benzoin note and the inclusion of gunpowder. The latter is really only apparent briefly. The osmanthus returns, just to a lesser extent, but is joined in its sweetness by a nice blackcurrant note and a very light bergamot. Notes include: gunpowder, benzoin, orange blossom, tonka bean, jasmine, blackcurrant, vanilla, patchouliįlowerbomb Nectar opens up in a way that is familiar to the original Flowerbomb, while also doing a bit of its own thing.
