Victorinox Swiss Unlimited

To celebrate their 125-year anniversary, Victorinox has released an inspired and practical fragrance that will delight the adventurers amongst you.

Last Thursday I was invited, along with some other handpicked online writers, to the Usine Paris-Beaubourg where the fragrance’s presentation got off to a flying start with Victorinox, the much-celebrated brand behind the Swiss army knife.

After an intensive cardio workout, Pierre Aulas and Christine Nagel (who supported Pierre’s solo project during the early days of Ego Facto) explained to us how this masculine fragrance came into being.

A very ‘smart’ fragrance

This Victorinox fragrance, with its distinctive white cross logo, is made from a mix of ginger, absinthe and silver fir, resulting in an intoxicating and woody freshness. They also thought of something special for travellers: the refillable mini-bottle (the “U Fill Tool”) which just needs to be clipped on to the larger model to fill it with a few millimetres of fragrance – enough for a week away – thanks to an intelligent and innovative pump system.

We would expect nothing less in terms of practicality from this brand who have been just as successful with this masculine fragrance as with their watches, sportswear and luggage.

Victorinox Swiss Unlimited is available in Colette from 14 April to 23 April and from the dedicated online store: Victorinox Fragrances. RRP: 39€ for the 75ml glass bottle. Thank you to the Usine Paris-Beaubourg team.
