For me, Swiss Army does not conjure images of a nice feminine perfume!
But I'm always open to new things so I was more than happy to give it a try....
I was sent a bottle to sample and was immediately struck by the elegant appearance of the packaging
What They Say:This fragrance perfectly embodies a woman's independence in her day-to-day life. It fits everyoccasion and every mood, and thus is a reliable everyday companion.
Victorinox Swiss Army Victoria embodies a timeless femininity that is carried by elegance andself-confidence. The new fragrance adapts perfectly to the skin of the woman who wears it andaccentuates her unique charm. It is for women who likes to keep things simple whilst beingstylish. This can be seen in the clean lines of the 100 ml flacon which has one platinum side, aswell as elegant packaging with engravings of laurel and edelweiss inspired by the insignia of thehighest grades in the Swiss Army.
TOP NOTE: Freesia, Plum, Blackcurrant
HEART NOTE: Bulgarian rose, Lilly of the Valley, Viola
BASE NOTE: Cedar leaf, Sandal wood, White Musk, Myrrh
What I thought:This was a surprisingly elegant and feminine fragrance, with lovely floral tones that I found to last for the majority of the day without being overwhelming or overpowering.I know it sounds silly but when it comes to perfumes, half of the attraction for me is in the appearance of the bottle itself (Hence my huge Anna Sui collection!) and I did love the intricate detailing on the sides of the bottle of the Victoria perfume.How To Get A Sample:
