Viktor&Rolf

Viktor&Rolf, the avant-garde fashion house, has made a significant impact on the fragrance world with their innovative and luxurious perfumes. Among their most iconic offerings is Flowerbomb, launched in 2005 in collaboration with L’Oréal. This perfume quickly became a hallmark of Viktor&Rolf, known for its distinctive floral explosion, mirroring the design duo’s flair for dramatic and transformative fashion. The fragrance itself was crafted by master perfumers Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaim, and Domitille Michalon Bertier. It is famed for its complex bouquet of scents, beginning with refreshing top notes of bergamot and tea, which segue into a rich heart of jasmine, orchid, freesia, and rose, and settle into a deep base of musk, patchouli, and vanilla. This combination creates a sensually floral yet subtly oriental aroma, designed to captivate and charm its wearer and those around them. In 2018, Viktor&Rolf expanded their fragrance line with Flowerbomb Nectar, a more intense interpretation of the original Flowerbomb scent. This variant introduces an innovative gunpowder note, blending with hints of cassis and bergamot at the top, moving through a floral heart of jasmine and osmanthus, and finishing with a base that includes notes of vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin. This formulation is packed in a denser, sharply designed bottle that reflects the fragrance’s intensity. Each Viktor&Rolf fragrance comes housed in meticulously designed bottles that are almost as famous as the fragrances themselves. Flowerbomb, for example, is noted for its grenade-shaped flacon, symbolizing the explosive nature of the scent within. The design embodies the luxury and sophistication that the brand stands for, making these perfumes not only olfactory delights but also collectors’ items. Viktor&Rolf perfumes are crafted not just to smell extraordinary but also to create an experience, aligning with the house’s overall philosophy of blending fashion with art. Their fragrances, like their fashion, invite wearers into a world of luxury, glamour, and fantasy, redefining what it means to wear a scent​.
