Description
Bonbon Spring Summer comes out in the spring of 2018 as the new, limited and refreshed version of the original Bonbon fragrance from 2014. Viktor & Rolf releases this edition after the success of the first Bonbon Spring Summer edition from 2017.
“Bonbon Spring Summer is the epitome of warmer seasons. The fragrance cocktail of sparkling red fruits dances around luminous floral notes, with all the fluidity of a light summer dress. The indulgent sweetness at the heart of Bonbon, irresistible caramel, is softened with a musky accord to welcome a sweet, summery freshness.”
Available as a 50 ml EDT.
Bonbon Spring Summer 2018 was created by Cecile Matton and Serge Majoullier.

I don’t typically like writting negative reviews, but when I do – I mean it.
The original Bonbon was nice, but this one is not! Artificial plastic “berry” and generic “flowers” on the base of cheap sweet musk. No caramel. Not even properly gourmand, just meh.. smells like a body spray, and honestly, even most body sprays smell better than this. No, it does not smell disgusting or outright bad, but it is barely even pleasant. So disappointing!

Moderate sillage and longevity!

I personally find this fragrance to be something special. I was worried that, although Viktor&Rolf, this was going to be another typical ‘Fruity Floral Gourmand’ – and I was completely wrong.
For starters, nothing about this smells synthetic to me. The opening is a burst of dewy, juicy strawberry and raspberry, and to my nose they smell almost perfectly balanced.
The caramel, musk and florals are definitely there, acting as incredibly luscious enhancers. Every note is noticeable, but no single one is dominant – blending is key, and V&R have that one mastered.
On myself, it lasts roughly 2-3 hours before becoming a skin scent, but those first few hours validate the hefty price tag of this fragrance, at least for me anyway.
I give this gorgeous little thing a mouthwatering 8/10 🙂

Just as @Magdalena81.1 mentioned, I also purchased my SECOND bottle of this golden juice from the seller TheBeautyClub_US on eBay, as a back up bottle for my future enjoyment, since this Bonbon Spring Summer 2018 is a limited edition and pretty much sold out everywhere in the US. And I confirm the seller’s reputation for selling THIS perfume as a LEGIT, 100% AUTHENTIC, brand-new-in-sealed-box item, exactly as the seller described it. My bottle’s batch code is 62R10SA (it is not even registered in Checkfresh.com data base yet since its release date this year). It said on the item’s listing on eBay that the item was shipped from HongKong. But the seller updated me with a tracking number that was registered thru USPS post office. I littetraly received the perfume within a week. The seller’s address on the package that I received is based in California, US. I think this is an US business that has connections with international suppliers/vendors as well, because they do sell other items that are listed and shipped from the US. So for the US ladies who are interested in getting this perfume, it is safe to buy from TheBeautyClub_US. Their price is the best by far on eBay for this Bonbon Spring Summer 2018 (with free shipping to the US).
EBay US once in awhile offers 15% off coupon to any total purchase, up to a maximum of $100 off, OR I just used eBay’s most recent coupon of $25 off a total of $119 purchase (excludes shipping cost) to save on my perfume shopping. Those coupons are likely valid for just a day. So keep an eye out for more savings ladies. I don’t know about eBay’s websites from other countries though.
Back to this beauty, the more I wear it, the more I like it. Such a high quality fruity fragrance for all year round with gorgeous fruity projection and lasting power on me. I never thought I would enjoy raspberry this much. If you just wanna invest in one Bonbon, I would recommend this one, as I think it would perform pretty well on just any lady who is craving a beautiful sweet fruity berry treat. It is not by any mean cloying or overwhelming at all. It is just simply one of the most sparkling, fresh, and delicious raspberry and strawberry fragrances out there. On my skin, it offers me even more than just sweet fruits. I got creamy caramelized and super soft jasmine. My favorite Bonbon so far.

Based on one-time test:
I have the original Bonbon and like it but this was a love at first sniff!such a pretty,sparkly strawberry-caramel treat!it’s very delightful.it’s sweet but not cloying at all and it doesn’t smell like just a food essence thanks to a soft whisper of musky florals
The only downside was that it seems to be very faint and fleeting on my skin.I could barely smell it even in first hour of application,but I guess it’s my bad.I have the experience of being semi-anosmic in case of caramel perfumes in first wearings.the other downside is that it’s veryyy expensive in my country.I wish it won’t become impossible to find at the time that I can afford it

Magdalena81.1 I tested it in theperfumeshop store and can see they still sell it.
Like the perfume, it smells with very juicy strawberry, very summery!

It´s been almost impossible for me to retrieve this perfume. After searching everywhere I finally found it at Ebay and a company called The Beauty Club. I was unsure if I would take a chance and order it since it´s quite a lot of money with a deliverer I wasn´t certain about. But I couldn´t resist since the original BonBon is my signature and this one seemed like its younger sister in a summer dress. Today it arrived and what a treat! Summer berries covered in caramel in the perfect summer dessert. It smells of raspberries and strawberries, caramel and a tiny hint of musk. I really loathe musk when it´s too strong but in this it´s just wonderful. The whole composition is wonderful and I can see myself using this all year round even if summertime is it´s natural habitat. It still has the BonBon DNA but in a lighter, airier way and still with the gourmand stamp. I don´t get any of the flowers wich I don´t mind at all. For an EdT it holds up really well, especially with the fruity notes that can be a bit elusive in perfumes, but I hope this will come in an EdP version. The bottle is a real beauty and fits the scent nicely. This is already one of my favourites! LOVE it!!!

The best Bonbon yet. The opening is an explosion of raspberry with a delicate twist of strawberry. It’s sweet, but not at all sickly. Half an hour later the caramel and flowers make their grand entrance and the fragrance flourishes into something astounding. It becomes a perfect blend of fruit/floral/gourmand in equal parts. Finally it dries down to delicious base notes of berries and caramel. It’s rare to find a fragrance where the fruity notes last for even one hour let alone the 12+ hours that this lasts.
I love the original Bonbon, and I liked Bonbon Couture but found the latter oddly pungent. The 2017 Spring Summer tempted me, but I found the longevity too poor so never purchased. But this version is magic. Sillage is soft to moderate. Longevity is 12+ hours. If you like the original, you will love this. Perfect for both daytime and evening. It’s playful, sexy, but at the same time elegant and refined … It’s simply beautiful. Thank you V&R xxx

I love sweet/gourmand scents and the original Flowerbomb EDP but interesting enough, am not a fan of the original overly sweet Bonbon EDP at all.
However, I like this new Bonbon Spring Summer EDT version a lot, after testing it at Bloomingdales.
The juice smells nice as its cute bottle, lightly sweet caramel coated on fresh strawberry and raspberry. It is a gently floral fruity sweet fragrance, and NOT in a cloying way on all regards, NOT like the fruits-on-steroid in YSL Mon Paris. It is also more delicately sophisticated than Marc Jacobs Daisy Love EDT that has the overly sweet cloudberry in it. It is just perfect for hot summer. I personally enjoy the berry notes more than peach or apricot, or pomegranate. The dry down has a soft floral note and a touch of musk, or to my nose, something smells like “woody” note. Simple and very pretty fragrance.

I was finally able to try this today and it’s a love! To me, it feels like a light version of the original Bonbon with the peach replaced by strawberries/raspberries, which you can really smell in the opening. The caramel makes its presence known as it dries down.
It is delightful, pretty, and definitely summery. The sillage is soft to moderate. I think that’s a good thing for the summer.
It’s a perfect light summer scent for the gourmand lovers! I think if you love the original Bonbon, you will love this one.
EDIT: I have now worn this a few times so I have a bit of a better feel for it. I absolutely LOVE it! I think the opening is more like a sweet sparkly grapefruit – it immediately lifts up your mood! – followed by a light strawberry/caramel.
It’s like a vague, distant memory of the fair, with its mix of strawberry cotton candy and caramel apple scents, but always light, never cloying. And it actually lasts all day – over 10 hrs and I can still smell it on my arms.

This just arrived in store and I LOVE THIS!!

It´svery similar as the 2017 edition if you don´t smell it side by side.But this is more on the fruity side and the 2017 is on the peach & citrus.
The opening has a very fresh very lovely feeling with the zesty fruits.The strawberry is the most prominent note and it´s very refreshing and fruity-sweet.Just lovely.
How it start to calm down it´s very similar to the 2017 version(in style & mood) but you can sense the fruity twist in it.The final dry down is more floral than the 2017 edition and more soft musky-caramel.
This version is just as gorgeous as the 2017 version,just more fruity but similar.
The longevity is still ok for me,after time it´s a skinscent but you can still smell it.
The bottle and the whole composition is utterly lovely,and it´s a very refreshing sweet,playful,happy,cheerful scent for the summer and spring.
If you loved the 2017 version,you will love this one more.
I love it,and I will love the other versions too.
