Viktor & Rolf’s Spicebomb to Explode All Over the Market

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:30:48 +0000

For their new men’s fragrance, the design duo of Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren – other wise known as Viktor & Rolf — decided to spice things up a bit. “We felt that if flowers were a very typical feminine scent, spices were the masculine opposite,” Snoeren told WWD, referring to their hit women’s scent Flowerbomb. And thus they begat Spicebomb .

The designers employed trusted nose Olivier Polge, the perfumer behind Flowerbomb, to concoct its masculine equivalent. Polge conceived an “addictive” but “explosive” juice , where the addictive was fiery and the explosive icy. The former consists of notes of chili, saffron, leather, tobacco, and vetiver while the latter has notes of bergamot, grapefruit, elemi, and pink pepper.

Going full tilt with the whole bomb theme, the bottle is in the shape of a grenade while the in-store displays will resemble the aftermath of an explosion — featuring what Viktor & Rolf’s general manager refers to as “exploding shelves.” Gripping the grenade pin in his teeth in the fragrance’s forthcoming ad campaign is top model Sean O’Pry, photographed by another dynamic duo, Inez and Vinoodh.

Spicebomb goes on sale statewide March 1 with a price-tag between $75 and $95. [WWD]

Viktor and Rolf Introduce Eau Mega

Marissa Moshell, Student — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:37:08 +0000

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are ready to release their next hit fragrance. With their debut perfume Flowerbomb, released in 2004, the design duo felt they were read for Eau Mega.Viktor and Rolf were going for something fresh, but they wanted to stay away from sporty and lean more toward feminine; hence the name Eau for fresh, and Mega for that glamorous touch.

The fragrance, which is expected to hit stores this October, features an ad campaign lead by Rachel Zimmermann. Since Flowerbomb is still flying of the shelves in stores, we’re expecting Eau Mega to do just as well.
