BonBon Viktor & Rolf

Today we are going to talk about a sweet, floral and sensual perfume: BonBon. This fragrance has been created by the brand of high perfumery Viktor & Rolf, founded by German designers in 1933 with headquarters in Amsterdam.

This extroverted fragrance represents the brand's essence, it is an avant-garde fragrance that belongs to the collection "Pure pleasure Gourmandise Extrême" which aims to evoke a sensation of eroticism, provocation and positivity.

Of course, this perfume has a great bottle that demonstrates Viktor & Rolf's unusual personality as fashion designers with a very realistic bow shaped bottle.

This perfume belongs to the floral fruit Gourmand olfactory family, with notes of caramel that are very present in the sharpest olfactory notes and softer middle notes, adding depth to the base note. It is the kind of perfume that you want to taste, remind you of desserts or sweet, caramelized atmospheres. The smallest bottle of just 30 milliliters (two tablespoons just to give you an idea) has a price of nearly € 60.

If you aren't the kind of person who pays close attention to the decorative side of perfume bottles, we can propose an economical alternative to discover this exclusive perfume with such a delicious fragrance.

Finding a white label perfume with the equivalent fragrance is probably the best solution. We recommend the perfume 1022 of the brand of perfume manufacturers VismarEssence that offers us some very popular and great fragrances.

This perfume can be purchased in bottles of a liter or half a liter capacity, nothing to do with the small bottles of high perfumery.

Apparently, this high-end collection perfume has been developed inspired by the notes of Bonbon sugar candy creating a very feminine fragrance linked to the world of fashion.

Head notes:

Tangerine, orange and peach.

Heart notes:

Base notes:

If you like delicious perfumes and you imagine tasting its sweet and sensual fragrances: this is the perfume for you.

The sweet fragrances of Carolina Herrera

Many fragrances are marketed under the label of Carolina Herrera today. Since its inception in 1988 with the perfume Carolina Herrera, the brand has developed more than eighty fragrances for both women and men. Although they have experienced a slight evolution and variations in their aromas, they have always been true to the essence of their creations: they usually have a touch of sweetness. This is achieved thanks to their floral and/or fruity notes which characterize virtually all of their fragrances.

Evolution: from Carolina Herrera to CH

Carolina Herrera, the women’s perfume which officially launched Herrera's career, was highlighted by an intensely sweet aroma. Among its top notes is an intense orange blossom and among the heart notes is jasmine. It is classified by many as completely timeless and remains a strong contender for women over 30.
The age of the audience of Carolina Herrera’s fragrances has also gradually decreased. While Carolina Herrera is now considered mostly for adult women age 30 and older, the famous CH and its entire line are ideal for young women. The same goes for lines 212 and 212 VIP, which can even be classified as sexy and daring. One of the latest creations, the special limited edition Central Park from the CH line, also has a younger feel with fruity and woody notes. In its evolution towards a younger audience, the change from floral to more fruity notes and even citrus notes has played an important role.
At the same time, bottle designs have evolved from classical to more modern and daring. As proof, we need only take a look at the designs of Carolina Herrera and the now well known 212 VIP.

Fragrances for men

The men’s version of Central Park also stands out for its fruity essence, and it’s not the only one. In fact, many of Carolina Herrera’s perfumes for men have a touch of sweetness, such as the well known CH Men, with heart notes of wood and jasmine, which some noses claim could even be used as a perfume for women.
They follow the trend of many other designers who have tried to give their men’s fragrances a smoother, more sensual touch, moving away from the classic men's fragrances with tough and aggressive green notes. In this way, we let the boys evolve into the figure of a sensual and seductive man, more in touch with a younger identity than that of the tough, protective man.

10 Fragrances for Spring 2016

Just as each perfume has its time of day and you wouldn’t choose the same one for the morning as you would at night, some perfumes are more suitable for the colder seasons while others are ideal for nice, warm weather. Spring fragrances are fresh and light and go with a bolder and more colorful wardrobe.
And of course, flowers and the color pink are symbols of spring, so Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs is our first candidate for the most popular fragrance on the streets this season, with its floral notes of iris, rose and freesia combined with the youthful sweetness of pear and tangerine.
Perhaps for warm April nights Jeu d'Amour L'elixir by Kenzo would be the perfect choice, with delicate hints of innocent vanilla, the sweetness of black raspberry and the daring role of rum as a base note.
But if spring stands out for anything, it’s for being a little suggestive and provocative. What with its sundresses and all, spring has the ability to make us look great and let the imagination run wild, so why not do it with an innocent fragrance with hints of caramel mousse that turn into dominant notes of blackberry. Signorina Misteriosa by Salvatore Ferragamo is the fragrance for good girls with an impish soul.
Candy Kiss by Prada is undoubtedly the fragrance for women who want to attract attention, its top note as well as both heart and base notes of arousing musk along with the freshness of orange blossom and the softness of vanilla are a combination fit for a femme fatale.
Poison Girls is the Dior fragrance for young women this spring. A touch of mischief, recognizable from the mother fragrance of the line, Poison, mixed with spiced notes like vanilla, sandalwood and orange.
The new fragrance Hugo Woman Extreme by Hugo Boss also stands out with a floral touch, but softer. Its top notes are boysenberry and grass, while among its heart notes we can find jasmine and black tea. The version for men, Hugo Extreme, surprises with fruity notes of green apple and heart notes of geranium and lavender.
For him, we include L'Homme Ideal Eau de Parfum from Guerlain for this spring. With L'Homme Ideal, the first release of this line, having come out in 2014, the Eau de parfum has a lot of promise with its woody-oriental notes and hints of vanilla and leather.
Gentlemen Only Parisien Break is the new Givenchy fragrance for him. It has notes of mint and lemon with sage, following the trend of sweet and sugary fragrances for men. It’s as fresh as spring itself.
