Flowerbomb lasts 30 minutes on me - anyone else?

I got Flowerbomb for Christmas and was expecting it to be this massive, long lasting fragrance. Instead, no matter how much I spray on it is gone in 30 mins, and DH can’t smell it either.

I’d be half worried that it was a fake bottle but he bought it from John Lewis!

Just wondered if anyone else experienced the same or am I just unlucky?

No I can smell it most of the day

myhobbyisouting · 01/01/2021 15:18

I don't wear perfume every day though so maybe my sense of smell is different

Scumble · 01/01/2021 15:18

I can smell mine for most of the day too.

domesticslattern · 01/01/2021 15:22

I can smell it all day no problem.
Err... is your sense of smell ok generally?

BunTooti · 01/01/2021 15:29

Flowerbomb is the only perfume that lasts all day on me...have you tried sniffing other things?

myhobbyisouting · 01/01/2021 15:29

Time to stick your head into the spice rack OP!

Flowerbomb is my absolute favourite. I tend not to notice it after a while but other people sometimes compliment me so I suppose it must stick around

You're just getting used to it and becoming nose kind. That's why people end up doused in perfume unfortunately

Bluntness100 · 01/01/2021 15:31

I think you’re both going nose blind on it. It will still be there. And smelling strongly.

I had the same issue with Miss Dior - put half the bottle on myself and nobody can smell it after 20 minutes.

I posted on here ages ago about it and somebody said it’s something to do with your skin and ph balance or something - some people neutralise certain scents. You could try spraying it on your clothes instead?

It was a total waste of £55, I ended up giving it away.

Typically I do get nose blind after a few hours to some of the softer fragrances.

But the biggies - Coco, Miss Dior, Pure Musc, No 5, Prada Candy, I will get wafts all day long. I thought this’d would be the same, especially given the cost 🙈

I’m just so gutted this is like spraying water! 😣

I’ve got a bottle of fake Flowerbomb and it lasts ages

JaceLancs · 01/01/2021 16:40

Flowerbomb, miss Dior, Gucci bloom, anything by Jimmy choo don’t last on me
It must be something they all have in common
Any Ellie Saab, or Guerlain perfumes last well on me, along with some Dior and Chanel

goose1964 · 01/01/2021 20:06

I have problems with some perfumes not lasting on me

Graffitiqueen · 01/01/2021 21:08

Flower bomb lasts for ages on me.

I had a sample of it a few months ago, and I was really shocked at how quickly it faded away. It’s definitely not just you!
