The verdict: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is the longevity pick — long (8-10h) against moderate (5-7h) for Gucci Flora. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb projects harder (strong sillage), so it owns a room — and an office can be too small for it. They live in the same scent territory — floral and sweet against floral and sweet — which is exactly why people cross-shop them. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb keeps working in winter, where Gucci Flora takes over for summer.
