Description
Bonbon Spring Summer comes out in March 2017 as a refreshing version for warmer days of the sweet caramel candy scent Bonbon, launched in 2014 by designer duo Viktor & Rolf.
In this new “retouched” version, caramel as the main ingredient becomes “light as silk” and the composition is additionally refreshed by a dose of citrus fruits. The perfume opens with a combination of grapefruit, tangerine, orange and black currant. The heart combines orange blossom absolute and sambac jasmine absolute with sugar icing and peach. Caramel, musk, guaiac wood and cedar wrap up the composition.
Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Spring Summer is available as a 50 ml Eau de Toilette.

I can’t even remember exactly where I purchased it last month LOL. Some unfamiliar store out of the country popped up when I did a search on the internet for this and I got a big bottle for under a hundred including shipping. I usually don’t purchase over $50 bottles of anything without smelling first but I love Bonbon so much that I knew I would love this fragrance and I was not wrong.
The beginning is very citrusy but also has a bonbon undertone. It is the most beautiful thing imaginable if you like bonbon. Dry down unfortunately all of the Citrus goes away and it becomes bonbon. So what you’re paying for is the 10 minutes of citrus which in my opinion is worth it because the combination is beautiful. In fact I’d like to find that store and get another one because I’ve noticed they are trying to sell these and some cases for 350 on eBay. I look at this as an investment

Truly nice, light caramel scent, soft sweet, also including prominent citrus note. Despite the name ‘spring summer’, it’s suitable for almost all seasons and weather conditions. I think it would be the best for transitional periods like fall or spring.
Gentle and alluring. What is more, bottle is true beauty!
Update: I really like it, but caramel and peach notes are always the tricky ones to my nose, especially if they are blended together. It is like a caramel candy melted in fruits.

Oh I do hope this will be released in Australia!! It just sounds divine and would look lovely with all my other BonBon Bottles.

For Canada, this is going to be out in the Bay in mid June (hopefully if it arrives in time). Just a heads up.

I have been looking online for this fragrance since I saw news about it coming out, with no luck. If you live in Canada, I saw this at Shoppers drugmart in Calgary Chinook Mall. I was completely shocked to have found it there.
Original Bonbon is one of my all time favourite fragrances, even the Couture I like. This version i find is nothing like the other bonbons, it is extremely fruity, almost like tropical fruity. Lots of grapefruit in the beginning and then some black currant. I found it was kind of sharp and it did not have much base to it, like it was missing something. Even for a summer version, this does not seem fresh to me or well blended.
The other bonbons are sweet and smooth and candy like, this version I have been so excited for but I am extremely disappointed. Pass for me.

Smells just like if Bonbon was an Escada fragrance – so aptly called spring/summer! Lots of fruitiness in the opening with peach dominating on me, then a few hours later slowly turns into a lighter version of the Bonbon dry down, not as sickly sweet as the original. My favorite of the entire Viktor&Rolf line because most of them just give me a migraine, so I actually appreciate that this is a “light” version. Will surely shine in warmer weather.

Jonr951—did you buy on eBay? I scored one too, it was an awesome deal. As you’ve already stated, it is an awesome fruity scent! Wish I bought another bottle too. I asked and he does not have anymore bottles:(

Scored a bottle online! It could have easily been called FruityBomb! Haha! Juicy tropical fruits melt into sugary caramel. That’s it. Not much development. It’s an edt, so I wasn’t expecting it to have the biggest personality. It’s just delicious, and that’s all that matters to me. You wanna drink the top notes, but they don’t last very long on me at all. It turns to a much lighter version of the caramel and sugar that is the majority of the original BonBon, IMHO. I really like it, and wish I ordered 2 bottles. I’ll drain this edt rather quickly if I don’t spray wisely. It’s rainy and cold in my neck of the woods, so I’ll wait to rock it when it’s warmer/sunny. Can’t wait! ^_^
