While Flowerbomb (for women) is preventive, Antidote is a cure. Which explains how couturiers Viktor & Rolf chose the unusual name for their first fragrance for men. An olfactory extension of their ready-to-wear line Viktor & Rolf Monsieur, Antidote has a complex construction, like a bespoke suit. Its multi-facetted lushness blends sensuality, freshness and elegance. An amber-wood potion in a charm-like bottle, the emerald-hued juice is contained by a black cap with a wax seal that seems about to reach meltdown.
Eau Mega is a perfume for a modern muse, a liberated and self-assertive super-heroine who’s good at everything and who ‘Mega-fies the world’. After the floral-gourmand scent of Flowerbomb, the 2 Dutch couturiers present a vibrant green eau.
An explosive bouquet, a host of sweet floral layers, mingling jasmine, rose, freesia and orchids, underlined with patchouli. A lingering fragrance, which leaves a very chic, swirling trail. Flowerbomb is more than a name, it’s a way of seeing life, an antidote to the reality against which we have only one weapon: dreams.
