When magic takes hold of Viktor and Rolf
When it was released, it was described by the brand as “a timeless sensation that invites you to a moment of pure pleasure. The one who wears Bonbon, explains Viktor & Rolf, lives an unprecedented sensory experience on the verge of auto-eroticism. A supreme pleasure which belongs only to her and reveals her own story to her. Celebrated, fulfilled, her femininity is sublimated. »Wishing once again to offer this feeling of happiness to women, Viktor & Rolf decided to repeat the experience, while softening the caramelized smell of the first Bonbon. This is how the new Bonbon Pastel of 2019 was born.
Bonbon Pastel, a fragrance fully anchored in the world of Viktor & Rolf
Bonbon Pastel immediately recalls the universe of Viktor & Rolf thanks to its splendid bottle. Indeed, it is equipped with a glass screen unlike any other… Resulting from exceptional glasswork, it is similar to a crystalline knot, whose pink color is now illuminated. Its flamboyant color seems to draw its source from its center, to gradually fade and become crystalline at its ends. The whole is surmounted by a chrome cap, on which is attached a black wax seal, bearing the initials of Viktor & Rolf. This perfume immediately evokes the couture universe of Viktor & Rolf, in which the knot is emblematic. For the record, with the new Bonbon Pastel, Viktor & Rolf wanted to evoke "the very first sketch of a Haute Couture dress: elegant and delicate, like a pastel sketch. An explosion of pleasure on the skin that provokes in the wearer an unprecedented sensory experience ”. Developed like a sketch, the new Bonbon Pastel is nevertheless perfectly orchestrated, down to the smallest details.
When Viktor & Rolf's caramel becomes lighter and brighter
To make this new fragrance, the Viktor & Rolf house called on two talented perfumers: Cécile Matton and Serge Majoullier. Together, they were inspired by the caramelized breath of the previous Bonbon, while lightening it to make it more springy. At first, Bonbon Pastel brings together a fresh and zesty bergamot with a more spicy cardamom. Mandarin essential oil brings here a more tangy scent. A aquatic accord, called Aqual, also refreshes the whole thing, while this start is still illuminated with orange blossom. Little by little, the solar breath of Bonbon Pastel gains in greediness. The caramel makes its appearance and plunges us into a sweet and Gourmand smell. Sandalwood reinforces the milky and creamy spirit of this juice.
