Viktor & Rolf, a Dutch fashion house founded by designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, are known for their avant-garde and innovative creations. They have been pushing the boundaries of fashion for decades, and their latest fragrance release, "Magic Salty Floser," is no exception. "Magic Salty Floser" is a scent that aims to transport you to a dreamy beachside paradise, surrounded by the soothing sound of crashing waves and the invigorating scent of the ocean. It encapsulates the true essence of a summer getaway, evoking a sense of relaxation, freedom, and escape. The fragrance opens with a burst of fresh, salty notes, reminiscent of a sea breeze. It combines marine accords with the tangy scent of grapefruit and green notes, creating an invigorating and energizing experience.
The name of the collection is derived from the Alhambra palace, in Granada, Spain, where Moorish quatrefoil motifs (four overlapping circles, much like the clover silhouette) adorn magnificent architecture with similarly detailed, intricate artisanry.

History of the Hero: Van Cleef & Arpels 'Alhambra'
The four-leaf clover is a long-celebrated talisman, but it was the French jewellery maison Van Cleef & Arpels that cemented it as a global symbol for good luck and great fortune when they brought it to life in gold and precious gemstones in the late 1960s.
The ‘Alhambra’ collection is now internationally recognised; its signature sautoirs (long necklaces) are often spotted around the necks of tastemakers and trend setters, royalty and Hollywood’s finest alike. These long, low-swinging styles are just as easily paired with evening gowns as they are with jeans and a T-shirt, which is perhaps the secret to their enduring charm – the Alhambra has become synonymous with precious, laidback luxury.
The base notes of "Magic Salty Floser" anchor the fragrance, leaving a warm and sensual trail. Sandalwood and ambergris create a creamy and woody base, while musk adds a touch of sensuality. This combination gives the fragrance a depth and longevity, ensuring that it lingers on the skin throughout the day. What sets "Magic Salty Floser" apart is its ability to transport you to a specific place and time, without actually being there. It encapsulates the feeling of being on a beach vacation, allowing you to escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. It is a fragrance that appeals to the dreamers, the ones who seek adventure and long for moments of serenity. Viktor & Rolf have once again proven their ability to create unique and captivating fragrances. "Magic Salty Floser" is a testament to their vision and creativity, capturing the essence of a summer getaway in a bottle. Whether you're looking to indulge in a daydream or simply want to add a touch of magic to your daily routine, this fragrance is sure to transport you to a world of sun-kissed beaches and gentle ocean breezes..
