Good Fortune Perfume

Two unusual notes open Good Fortune Perfume from Viktor & Rolf, fennel and gentiana giving the top a green, faintly bitter herbal quality rarely seen in mainstream perfumery. Jasmine alone carries the core, sweet and full, a warm contrast to the bitterness above it. Madagascar vanilla closes the foundation rich and luxurious, more complex than a standard vanilla accord. Gentiana is a rare root material, lending substantial bitterness that most modern florals avoid entirely. Good Fortune Perfume is a floral gourmand Eau de Parfum, suited to daytime elegance. Viktor & Rolf took a risk with that bitterness, and it pays off by the foundation.
