“The name ‘Flowerbomb’ came first,” the design duo told Forbes in a recent interview. “We always start working like that, by verbalising an idea. In this case, the idea came as a new word we invented.
After that, it was pretty clear where we wanted to go with the fragrance because the name is so evocative. We wanted something romantic, feminine and opulent, but with a modern edge.”
An an embodiment of what the atelier is all about, the fun, floral scent is a celebration of creativity from its unforgettable bottle to the playful notes that make up its beloved fragrance.
