Flowerbomb Nectar is a deeply sweet and syrupy gourmand fragrance that builds upon the DNA of the original Flowerbomb but intensifies its richness and complexity. The opening features a prominent, metallic gunpowder note that adds a sharp, smoky edge, balancing the overwhelming sweetness. This note is not acrid or sulfurous, but rather a realistic, cool metallic质感 that gives the fragrance its signature intrigue and uniqueness. The floral heart, rooted in jasmine sambac, orange blossom, and osmanthus, is thick and jammy, enhanced by ripe cassis and a root-like fruitiness. The drydown is warm, creamy, and indulgent, driven by rich vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin, with a noticeable but not overpowering patchouli foundation. This perfume is designed to be highly noticeable and perform robustly. It boasts exceptional longevity, lasting easily through a full day on skin and a week on clothing, and projects with moderate to strong sillage, making it ideal for night wear and cooler seasons. Its performance is consistently cited by users as excellent, often leading to dozens of compliments and even being described as "beast mode." The fragrance is unmistakably sweet and opulent, verging on cloying for some, and its power can be overwhelming in hot weather or confined spaces. While revered by many as the definitive Flowerbomb flanker, its extreme sweetness and strong projection mean it isn't suitable for work environments or for individuals preferring minimal, subtle scents.
