 It's another unboxing! Oh my gosh, I love doing this video so much. It's like I've got a record of my perfume obsession. Let's see. Okay, boxes aren't very exciting, I have to say, but let's see what we have inside. It's not a very exciting box. I've definitely been more excited. Oh, I got a sample of spice balm. I've read so many good things about this. Cannot wait to try this. I'll do another video about this one, but a nice one. Oh, I'll put it down there. It's a bit smaller than I expected. Okay, yeah. How much did I get? This is, so this is the 50 ml. It's quite a small bottle. Let's try it out. Okay, so the story with a flower balm is that I started off by trying this sample that came in a Vogue magazine, and so I tried the flower balm and the flower balm too. I liked both of them, but the flower balm, the original one, it stayed on my skin a lot longer, so I decided to try it again by going into a shop and get it spressed on my skin again, and it was amazing. It lasted on me like about 12 hours, and I like it when a perfume lasts that long because I don't necessarily have the time to reapply, no do I remember, because I'm quite busy with five kids and everything, so I do like perfumes that would just stay on me, and I found that the fragrance changed with time, and I think it's quite interesting when a fragrance does that, but what then eventually, so I hadn't bought it, but then what eventually pushed me over the edge was I was watching a video by notes from Josephine, and she was talking about Flower Balm, how it's a perfume fixer, and I was just like, that's it, so I paused, I went and I ordered it, and so here we are. All right, so the top notes are supposed to be tea. It doesn't actually specify whether it's green tea or white tea or black tea or anything like that. There's Bergamund, Osmanthus, although top notes, I'm beginning to realize that they don't matter as much. I think it's the middle note and the base notes that are more important, but here we have Orchid, Jasmine, Rose, and Friesia for the base notes, middle notes, and for the base notes, it's got patchouli and musk. Quite surprised about the musk, I have to say, because when I did try it on those separate occasions, I didn't necessarily get the musk, but let's spray some onto my hand and I'll share some more. Yeah, so I'm so excited to finally have this, because getting it was such a hustle, there were some mistakes with the courier, and it got delivered to the wrong place, and then it got right to me, and yeah, so I got really anxious about it, so I'm so happy to finally actually have it, although it is smaller than I expected. I thought I was ordering the 100 meals if I have to be perfectly honest, but here we go. So the thing about this is, even though it says flower bomb, I've smelled more fragrances that are more flowery. Let's go. It's got such a delicate little vaporizer spray, okay. So it doesn't have like the immediate fruity florilliness that I get, say, from like the Britney Spears private show or other perfumes that I have tried so far in my young life as a perfume addict. So it's not as florid, and that's the surprising thing about it, because you think it's called flower bomb, that it's going to be, you know, full of flowers, but it isn't. It's got like, yes, it does have a touch of sweetness, but it also has this uplifting freshness to it. And I remember the first time that I wore it, I kept thinking of butterflies floating, you know, flying amongst like the summer bedding plants in my garden. And that was just the instant imagery that I got when I smelled it. I wasn't smelling like the heavy, heady flowers of midsummer when everything has just got a little bit of, you know, a decadence ripeness to it and almost like an overripeness. I'm not getting it with this, but this one has got, it's almost energizing, which I don't expect from a floral fragrance, because even though he doesn't have any orange notes, I mean the big amount, I guess, but it's not like neroli, which is more uplifting, but it's really beautiful. The mask is very, very faint in this perfume. I don't feel like it's got a very strong musk note on me. Maybe that's my skin that just doesn't bring out the muskiness. But yeah, it is beautiful. And then he's got some touches of rose as well, which is really beautiful. But I find that the rose tends to come through maybe after about an hour or two of wearing it. And then it's just like this really beautiful waftiness of it. It's got a patchouli-ness, you know, the sweet birthiness of patchouli, which is all right. So yeah, I actually just realized I could keep on talking about this fragrance, but I do like it. So one of the things that I'm excited to try out are its fixer properties. So as I said, not from just being said that this is a good fixer perfume, which means that if you try on a perfume that you don't like, you add flower balm to it. Apparently it just makes it the balm, not to show my age. I don't think that the bottle design is anything to write home about. It doesn't feel very comfortable to hold. It's not like, say, the gris carbatine bottle, which I quite like holding. But yeah, beautiful. I also liked the flower balm Jew. And I do plan on getting the flower balm Jew as well at some point in the future because I found that the flower balm Jew has got, I think that one is more florally. It's almost like they amped up the floral notes in that one. Whereas this one, it's got a bit of licorice. That's it. That's the other way that I was trying to remember. Like if you're familiar with licorice, it also has some licorice in it. And yeah, for a flower balm, it's not actually quite as flowery as you would expect, but it's still a very beautiful uplifting fragrance. And it's not overly, overly sweet and it's not cloying even though it's got the musk in it. And it's just something that I love. So I'm looking forward to doing a bit more playing around with Victor and Rolf Flower Balm. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you next time when I am sharing another obsessive perfume rant.
