Viktor and Rolf Magic is a collection of fragrances created by the Dutch fashion designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. The collection was first introduced in 2005 and has since become known for its whimsical and enchanting scents. Each fragrance in the collection is designed to evoke a sense of magic and surrealism, creating a truly unique olfactory experience. The Viktor and Rolf Magic collection includes a range of fragrances, each with its own distinct personality and character. Some of the notable scents in the collection include 'Salicylic Magic', 'Lavender Illusion', 'Dirty Trick', and 'Liquid Diamonds'. Each fragrance is inspired by different aspects of magic and illusion, using a combination of unusual and unexpected ingredients to create an otherworldly experience.
Not too many, which is why the launch will occur step-by-step over the course of three years. The plan is to enter 10 doors in the first year, increase this to 25 in 2018 and in 2019, double this to 50 points of global distribution.
Dirty Trick has an ink accord in it that the two call the most unexpected ingredient in the range, while Sage Spell combines absinthe with classic sage. Created in partnership with four all-female perfumers from Firmenich, Givaudan and International Flavors Fragrances, the formulas were, indeed, out of the ordinary.
Each fragrance is inspired by different aspects of magic and illusion, using a combination of unusual and unexpected ingredients to create an otherworldly experience. One of the defining characteristics of Viktor and Rolf Magic is the innovative use of ingredients. The fragrances often include unexpected combinations such as caviar, saffron, and lavender, resulting in a scent that is both surprising and delightful.
This Perfume Was Created For The Creepiest Reason
If you sit in a gray cubicle under a fluorescent light day after day, you might dream about working for a designer out of a 17th-century canal house in Amsterdam. It sounds idyllic — until you consider the potential ghosts living in the building. Do you think those trapped souls want to listen to sewing machines and clanking perfume bottles and arguments over creative vision all day? They do not — at least not the ones haunting the Viktor & Rolf atelier. As Viktor Horsting tells it, when he and his design partner Rolf Snoeren came into the office, they were told by employees that the space was haunted. (Talk about company loyalty — we would have been clearing out our desks at the first sign of a spirit acting creepy.) "Several people said there was a phone ringing [with no one on the other line] and footsteps, so we got somebody in to get rid of all the negative energy in the house. She burned sage, walked around the building, and stuck a feather on each door." The sage, Horsting says, smelled so good, they decided to create a fragrance around it. And so, along with five other scents all part of Viktor & Rolf's latest Magic Collection, Sage Spell was born. It's a great story, and the smell of a burning bundle of herbs is very pleasant when dispersed throughout the house, but we worried the note, combined with wormwood (the stuff in absinthe), might make our skin smell like a Portland gift shop. We shouldn't have. It's clean and crisp, lighter than expected, and worked just like aromatherapeutic lavender on our mood, Zen-ing us out for a few minutes in the middle of the work day. Then again, the R29 offices aren't haunted (we don't think), so here's hoping the perfume casts a powerful enough spell to clear the fashion house ghosts and calm our Dutch friends. If not, there's always legal marijuana there.
Viktor & Rolf Magic Collection Sage Spell, $220, available at Saks in March 2017.

Reviews for "Viktor and Rolf's Majic Makeup: Transforming the Face"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed in Viktor and Rolf Majic. I had high expectations for this fragrance, but it just fell flat for me. The scent was overwhelming and gave me a headache. It had a strong floral note that was overpowering and didn't blend well with my body chemistry. I also found the lasting power to be quite weak, as the scent faded away after just an hour. Overall, not a fragrance I would recommend.
2. John - 1 star - I cannot understand the hype surrounding Viktor and Rolf Majic. To me, it smells cheap and synthetic. The fragrance is overwhelming and makes me feel nauseous. The initial burst of scent is overpowering and it doesn't settle well on the skin. The dry down is equally disappointing, with a strange musky note that lingers. I would not purchase this fragrance again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Viktor and Rolf Majic, but it ended up being a letdown. The scent is too strong and doesn't suit my personal preferences. The floral notes were too intense for my liking and I found it to be cloying. Additionally, the longevity was poor and I had to reapply multiple times throughout the day. Overall, not a fragrance I would choose to wear again.
4. David - 1 star - Viktor and Rolf Majic was a total miss for me. The scent is incredibly artificial and gives me a headache. It has a strong chemical undertone that is off-putting. The fragrance doesn't develop well on the skin and I found it to be quite generic. It lacks the uniqueness and complexity that I look for in a fragrance. I wouldn't recommend this perfume to anyone.
