Viktor & Rolf Bonbon
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon is a super sweet Caramel scent.
The sweet Caramel is accompanied by sweet Orange Blossom and Peach perfume notes.
There is also a hint of Amber in the base which is accompanied by Jasmine and Sandalwood.
I find BonBon a really strong and good for lasting scent which is definitely sexy and feminine. I love the Peach and Orange in the mix which works really well with the Caramel.
Fans of Viktor & Rolf Bonbon would probably also like Prada Candy which is another strong caramel scent (my review of the entire Prada Candy perfume range).
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Couture Intense
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Couture is even stronger than the original Bonbon but its less sweet.
The Orange Blossom is more dominant than in the original Bonbon and are accompanied by a white Tobacco Flower and Patchouli which are quite dominant.
If you find the original Bonbon too sweet then I recommend trying Bonbon Couture which is more floral.
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Pastel
Bonbon Pastel is an Eau de Toilette and much lighter than the other two Bonbon fragrances.
The signature Caramel scent is still there but there is plenty of fresh Mandarin Orange and Bergamot added, especially noticeable in the top notes.
Bonbon Pastel also has a Neroli which is combined with Orange Blossom, as well as a salty Cardamon.
There isn’t any Patchouli in the base of this perfume so after the floral notes have faded the perfume isn’t really noticeable anymore.
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Limited Edition
There have been lots of limited edition versions of Viktor & Rolf Bonbon, especially around Christmas.
