Woody fragrances are most common amongst unisex and men’s perfumes and are usually composed of warm, rich and decadent compositions.

And when paired with more feminine fragrances, they work well to add an air of modernism and independence to women’s perfumes. Oriental fragrances Shaped like a diamond grenade, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is a glittering explosion of fresh and sweet sensations and an endlessly sought-after scent. Designed by the talented trio, Olivier Poleg, Carlos Benaim, and Domitille Berthier, this best-smelling perfume for women is like wandering through your own secret flower garden—but after dark. I think Narciso and I have the same approach regarding women, sensuality and elegance: he draws dresses like I create perfumes, with the same ambition to sublimate women’s natural grace without transforming their authentic beauty, to make them even more beautiful and graceful. For me, it is amazing to have such an opportunity to create directly with the designer – it is very rare in the perfume industry to collaborate directly with the designer and to have direct access to him. I feel really blessed for that. And how does the fragrance differ from the original for her eau de toilette? Which notes are shared with the original, and which notes are new?
