Flowerbomb Without the Wallet Bomb
Gourmand White Flowers by Dossier is a 99% dupe for Viktor & Rolf FlowerbombAt the time of writing this review Gourmand White Flowers is $29 for 50ml and the original Flowerbomb is $145 for 50mlIs the Viktor & Rolf packaging prettier? YesIs it $116 prettier? NoThe Dossier packaging is sturdy, practical and the magnetic cap is a nice touch especially for travel, gym bags, handbags etc.Flowerbomb on the designer's website lists the key notes as : Peony Accord, Centifolia Rose Accord, Freesia Accord but this list is incomplete as any Flowerbomb lover knows. It is just the Key Notes.Fragrantica lists the notes as: Tea, bergamot, osmanthus, orchid, jasmine, rose, fresia, African orange flower, patchouli, musk and vanillaDossier lists the Gourmand White Flowers notes as: Bergamot, green tea, freesia, berries, white flowers, orchid, rose, musk, patchouli, caramel and vanilla.It is astonishingly close to the original to my nose. The patchouli Dossier uses is a bit less sharp than what is used by Viktor & Rolf so if you are sensitive to patchouli you may like this one better. The freesia and rose give it that powdery high end cosmetics scent, while the caramel and vanilla make it the delicious gourmand we've come to love.It lasts just slightly less time on my skin than the original but that's fine. I don't need to smell like any one thing for 12 hours. Gourmand White Flowers will get you 4-6 hours of wear on skin, more on fabric, and at such a great price you won't mind reapplying if you need a refresh.What sets Dossier apart and above is Dossier promises their formulations are nontoxic. This means no endocrine disrupters and other harmful things we now know to be dangerous. This alone would make me chose the Dossier dupe over the original. Though to be fair skinsafeproducts lists Flowerbomb as 91% top allergen free and the Environmental Working Group gives the 2020 formulation of FB a score of 4 (0 is best 10 is worst). Please dyor if these issues are important to you.I am thoroughly pleased with Gourmand White Flowers and think you will be too.10/10 highly recommended.

Worth every penny
I actually think this is better than Flowerbomb. Flowerbomb is a bit sickly sweet and juvenile, while Dossier’s Gourmande White Flowers is on the fresher, more grown up side. The addition of the tea makes it fresher and the caramel gives it a buttery sweet undertone. I read someone else saying that this is a more grown up Flowerbomb and I totally agree. It has insane longevity, projects but not too much and smells expensive. Everywhere I go people make comments that it smells like Flowebomb but better! Best $29 I’ve ever spent.

Favorite dupe for a daily perfume (:
I have the original viktor & Rolf flowerbomb nectar and wanted a lower cost daily perfume I could spray more liberally without worrying about how much it cost. I’ve been searching for a dupe and this is the closest one I’ve found!!Everyone who has smelled the original and this one has complimented the similarities. It hangs around the same way on sweaters and on the skin, I will say the initial undertones aren’t *as* euphoric as the original but everything else is nearly spot on when it settles into the skin!! Love love love it! Will purchase again and has made me more excited to try the other scents!

Performs better on clothes
For some reason this smells different on my skin than on clothes. Both smell good but not the same. It lasts much longer on my clothes as well. It's a pretty good dupe for Flowerbomb. The original is more complex and lasts longer, but for the price point it's good.

Great perfume!
Dossier does it again! I have several of their perfumes and I have to say, they are spot on with each scent! Very soft and pretty summertime scent. Feminine yet sophisticated for an adult.

Scent doesn’t last
Smells great when first applied, but lasts a very short time. Will not be repurchasing.

Great smell, lasts long.
I get a lot of compliments when I wear this! I proudly say it's a knock-off. Everyone is surprised to learn that it's not the original $$$ version.

I like it but it DOESN'T last long.
This perfume smells amazing & spot on for the original, Flower bomb, in my opinion. My only issue is that it does not last long. After about an hour ...the smell fades away. I love the scent and the price; however I will not purchase this particular one due to it not lasting. The gourmand orange blossom lasts way longer.
