Bonbon Spring Summer
by Viktor&Rolf
Bonbon Spring Summer is a light, fruity-sweet fragrance with a fresh citrus opening dominated by grapefruit, orange, and tangerine, layered over a juicy peach and sugared caramel base. The scent evolves into a soft, warm caramel glow with subtle jasmine and guaiac wood, offering a delicate balance of sweetness without overwhelming intensity. It feels most at home in warmer weather, particularly spring and summer, with moderate sillage and moderate to low longevity. The notes are well-blended but fade quickly, with the citrus dissolving quickly and the sweetness settling into a light, honeyed drydown. It amply suits those who prefer a softer, more wearable sweet fragrance that leans tropical and fresh, rather than bold or long-lasting.
Pros
- +A pleasant light sweetness that avoids being cloying or overly sweet, making it ideal for those who enjoy sweet fragrances but want something less intense than the original Bonbon.
- +The citrus-rich top notes provide a bright, refreshing start that feels uplifting and evokes summer.
- +It works well as a transitional scented option, suitable for spring and summer wear with moderate projection and a gentle presence.
Cons
- −Limited longevity and sillage mean it doesn't last long on skin and may not be noticeable beyond a few hours.
- −The sweet-muscled drydown lacks depth or character, making it feel somewhat forgettable after the initial burst.
- −It doesn’t stand out—offers no dramatic or unique development, so it may feel generic to discerning users.
