Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb vs Zara Oriental

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb scores 86% against Zara Oriental overall — scored twice, once on the opening and once on the dry-down, because a scent rarely stays still on skin.

The two phases agree: Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb tracks Zara Oriental about as closely in the first minutes as it does hours later, so what you smell on the strip is a fair guide to what you get on skin.

Both are built on sweet, floral, powdery and patchouli. Zara Oriental adds caramel, vanilla and balsamic that Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb does not. Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb brings white floral, woody and citrus of its own.
