Viktor & Rolf Good Fortune

 Good Fortune is the mysteriously exquisite new scent from fragrance powerhouse Viktor & Rolf.

 Inspired by Viktor & Rolf’s recent Spiritual Glamour Haute Couture Collection, Good Fortune is the physical incarnation of a new positive lifestyle, and olfactive manifesto for spirituality and self-potential.

 An expression of modern spirituality, Good Fortune is an invitation to those wishing to embrace their inner modern mystic, to follow their own path and trust their own innate power

 The embodiment of a new positive lifestyle, it empowers you to create your own destiny.

 

 

Given its powerful concept, it seems it has a lot to live up to but boy does it do this, from its bewitching vessel to its decadent scent.

 Good Fortune is captured within the most beautiful bottle.

 An elegant glass orb resembling a fortune tellers iconic crystal ball sits atop a regal, luxurious gold base.

 

 

 Wrapped around its neck is a gold ribbon bearing the iconic V&R logo sat against the backdrop of a  black flower.

 Atop sits a multi-faceted, amethyst inspired jewel cap, a symbol of power and positive energy.

 The intoxicating nectar radiates from within, its soft violet hue inviting you to explore its fragrant experience and release its power.

 

 

 And powerful it truly is.

 Good Fortune opens with a radiant explosion featuring a secret alchemy of fennel and gentian flower co-distilled.

Sat at its heart is a blooming Jasmine super-infusion with its velvety, solar notes created from an ingredient blended in India and exclusively tailor made for Viktor & Rolf.

 Its potent heart gradually gives way to an enchanting base, with a sweet, soft, creamy, captivating Bourbon vanilla creating a comforting and sumptuous experience.

 

 

 Together, these opulent elements create a truly unique and bold fragrance which envelops the wearer in an invisible veil of mystical magic.

 Powerful and one of a kind, Good Fortune is undeniably a floral scent but to simply describe it as such feels somewhat reductive.

  It is rich, possesses an addictive depth, is luxurious, lavish and quite frankly, beautiful.

 

 

 It is the kind of fragrance that will draw multiple compliments as people clamber over themselves to discover what it is you’re wearing.

Viktor & Rolf’s Good Fortune is available now and costs £59 for 30ml, £83 for 50ml and £114 for 90ml.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew

Flowerbomb Dew is the enchanting new fragrance from Viktor and Rolf.

A whimsical and captivating reinterpretation of the original iconic Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb Dew offers a softer, sensual and delicate floriental experience.

An exquisite ode to femininity, Flowerbomb Dew creates an air of purity, lingering lightly on your skin as if you were wearing a precious piece of lace.

The prized nectar is captured within an elegant, transparent, pearlescent diamond grenade which mimics the scents second skin elements.

Designed to be light like the drop of moisture on a morning rose, the softness of the light pearl hints at the luminous juice within while its instantly recognisable Flowerbomb shape reminds you of the luxurious, multi-layered notes waiting to be explored.

Instead of possessing traditional top, mid and base notes, Flowerbomb Dew features three sumptuous accords which effortlessly swirl together to create this elegant and sensual scent.

Delicate Dew is the first accord you’ll experience and features fresh, juicy notes of soft pear, bergamot and ambrette combined with dewy, fresh sparkling rose with a hint of vibrant pink pepper.

The Sensual Accord offers an addictively feminine element with living rose lace and orris with an almondy, creamy vanilla addiction of Heliotrope Accord, combined with the woody, ambery, musky sensuality of Cashmeran.

The Second-Skin Accord then creates a powdery, soft and enveloping musk with Hedenolide Musk,  Ambrette Seeds Absolute and Vanilla Bean CO2 Extract.

Multi-faceted, intriguing and effortlessly elegant, it is a wonderfully soft, romantic fragrance that melts onto your skin, becoming one with you.

As captivating and beautiful as the early morning drops of moisture on beautiful roses, Flowerbomb Dew offers an iridescent, glowing floral experience that radiates both grace and charm.

An inspired addition to the Flowerbomb collection of scents, Flowerbomb Dew is available now exclusively at Debenhams before becoming available at retailers nationwide on 26th February.

Viktor and Rolf Bon Bon

Since its launch in spring 2014, Viktor and Rolf have been delighting with us with their wonderfully decedent, sweet inspired Bon Bon fragrance.

Named after the famous candy, this timeless, Iconic scent has been created for those of us with a sweet tooth who like Marie Antoinette, are in the pursuit of pleasure.

Give in to temptation and satisfy your needs with this delicious, tempting oriental-gourmand fragrance.

Housed within an exquisite and unique pink bow shaped like a wrapped, sweet treat, the bottle is easily as captivating and enchanting as the sweet nectar within.

Soft and undeniably feminine, the candy bow hints as the delectable delights inside, appealing to your senses in both sight and touch on account of its soft, expertly crafted glass curves and multi-tonal pink hues.

An irresistible take on a floral, gourmand fragrance Bon Bon opens with notes of fresh, juicy mandarin, orange and fruity peach before heart notes enchanting jasmine, orange blossom and the scents key element of caramel transform the fragrance into a rich, sweet and delicious experience.

Carmel notes mature from a sharp, edible top note, to a softer, milky middle before darkening to add a delicious rich base.

Base notes round off the fragrance with musky cedarwood and sandalwood, intoxicating and warm amber and Guiaiac wood.

The result is a decadent, softly sweet edible scent which envelopes your senses in a warming sense of desire and comfort.

Complex, alluring and irresistible, Bon Bon is a truly pleasurable, empowering feminine fragrance that appeals to so many facets of my personality.

I adore everything about the scent, from its unique and charming bottle to its soft, sweet lingering notes.

Vitor and Rolf Bon Bon is available now from escentual and costs £54 for 30ml.

Flowerbomb Nectar

I love it when Fragrance Houses launch new editions or special edition fragrances based on a pre-existing, iconic scent.

 If you are already big fans of the original then it gives you the opportunity to explore a scent which is likely to be similar to the one you love but that features new, exciting and intriguing notes.

It’s for this very reason that I was EXTREMELY excited when I saw that Viktor and Rolf had launched Flowerbomb Nectar.

I am a mega fan of the original and simply adore its soft, addictive, feminine, gourmand-floral notes.

It’s one of those fragrances that is instantly recognisable when you smell it and for someone like me who loves sweet scents, it is the perfect combination of sweet yet delicately floral.

Flowerbomb Nectar is in my opinion, equally beautiful, recognisable and undeniably feminine.

Housed in a gorgeous multi-faceted vessel, the Nectar bottle mirrors the original in design yet in form it is actually a shorter, wider octagon shaped bottle. 

Retaining all the beauty of its iconic predecessor you can see the delicate pink nectar within through the glass. 

Described as being a ‘sensual floriental’ scent, Flowerbomb Nectar offers an explosion of floral notes coupled with a surprising twist.

While it retains many of the same gorgeous notes as the original (Bergamot, Jasmine, Vanilla & Patchouli) it also contains a blend of notes which together create a mysterious, sensual and in some ways, a more intense fragrance. 

The fragrance opens with top notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant and surprisingly, Gunpowder Accord.

This unusual note creates an almost metallic freshness against the sweet and floral bergamot and blackcurrant, tantalising your senses!

Top notes melt away to reveal a delicate and feminine floral nectar of Sambac Jasmine and Orange Flower combined with the familiar sweetness of Osmanthus.

The scent is completed with base notes of soft, creamy vanilla, patchouli and warm,spicy tonka bean which create the addictive gourmand element that I love so much!

The overall result is a fragrance that explodes upon application, releasing a combination of soft, sweet, floral and intense notes that capture your senses and leave you feeling draped in sensuality.

It is a stronger scent in many ways from Flowerbomb and the Gunpowder Accord is actually really quite powerful until the scent has lingered on your skin for some time.

Once the top notes fade you are left with a fragrance that is sweeter and fiercer than its predecessor.

Flowerbomb Nectar most certainly has not disappointed!

I find it a thrilling addition to the Flowerbomb line of fragrances and feel that in terms of wear, it is well suited as an evening scent thanks to the sensual and intense nature of its notes.

 Flowerbomb Nectar is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs £57.50 for 30ml.
