So Ive sniffed the V&R original version of this scent before via a tester bottle, but I do not have any experience with the original version skin chemistry/long ware wise. From a simple initial sniff they are very similar, Id say this one is a bit more sweet and the V&R one is more floral/petally? I love this scent, it has some warmth to it from the vanilla and caramel despite it being floral - the sweetness it melts down to with my skin chemistry is wonderful, not candy sweet but more berry-meets sexy musk florist. The raspberry despite being a top note lasts a very long time and is one of the remaining scents on my clothes. I get a solid 5 hours of full scent, by hour 6-7 there is more of a nice after sweetness that remains. Intentionally blended it with a cedar and amber scent, which was lovely and grounded it - added some sensuality. Accidentally blended it with a white amber, rose, and jasmine scent that it also worked well with - it brought out the sweetness and gave it a more femme/cute vibe. I like that it can swing either way depending on layering, honestly surprised by its versatility. Some might find the musk and patchouli a bit aging to this scent, imo it adds a sensuality that is uncommon in most floral leaning scents.

I rarely write reviews but friends and strangers alike will stop me and compliment on how amazing this smells. I knew I was sold when a sweet woman in a coffee shop stopped what she was doing and said you just smell lovely. I will only exclusively buy these perfumes now unless Im gifted otherwise. Wonderful purchase.

So I was skeptic purchasing this knowing its not technically the real thing. But when I got it home I immediately sprayed it on me and let it settle. The perfume is very long lasting. Smells gorgeous. Im looking forward to purchasing in the future. The scent lasts all day!!!

I have the original flower bomb & i purchased the dupe to see comparisons... for starters... dossiers is a bit more intense but smells exactly like the original once it sets i cannot tell the difference other than i prefer dossiers version it last longer on me. This scent is in no way mature for me its more of a perfect gift for a girly teen early 20s or even for a brunch day out. Its my Im feeling girly scents. super sweet & floral.

I ordered this. My Mom smelled it. She loved the scent so much it would have been heartless not to give it to her. And that, dear readers, is how I ended up buying Gourmand White Flowers not once, but twice. Twice! Perhaps saying my Mom "stole" this from me is too strong a phrase. But I am NOT exaggerating when I say this perfume is dangerously, addictively good.

Flowerbomb has been my go-to perfume for 6 years so trust me when I say this smells exactly the same. It has staying power where I can get an occasional whiff of the perfume about 3 hours after the initial spritz. It's not sickeningly sweet, but still sweet enough that it's definitely in the gourmand family. I bought 2 other perfumes on account of the sale and they smell the same as the expensive brand ones. If you're interested in Floriential Vanilla and/or Gourmand Orange Blossom, definitely go for it. I think this trio plays well if you wanted to layer them, but Gourmand White Flowers is my favorite out of the bunch. I love it so much and will definitely be buying more in the future!!

I thought I would love this from the description but it was too powdery for me. I like florals but more fresh florals or woody florals. I had to return it. If you love floral and powder though, this might be for you! I also smelled flowerbomb and didnt like that either so that might help you make your decision. Good luck!

This just smells almost too classic perfume smell to me. Flower bomb is such a popular fragrance - and while it does smell good- its almost too popular. This is spot on. Very heavy on the mature floral notes but the gourmand is very subtle to me. Not really my fragrance but its good. 10/10 for projection and longevity

I wore flowerbomb in high school when my mom would by us the bottle to share. I always got compliments on it and I love it overall. When I found dossier and saw the reviews on it being similar I knew I had to try! Its basically indistinguishable from the original and I cant get enough! My husband and I met in high school and he recognized the scent right away.

White Flowers is just far enough away from Flowerbomb to disappoint me. Floral Marshmallow earns 6 Stars (5 if I must stay in the lines). Its absolutely Love Dont be Shy to perfection. Thats my favorite perfume, and Ive been wearing it since it first came out. I actually had someone put Love on one arm and Floral on the other (eyes closed) and I couldnt tell which was the real thing and which was the copy. I am thrilled!
