BONBON Launch

Saks Fifth Avenue exclusively launches

Viktor&Rolf’s latest fragrance BONBON.

In 2005, the retailer debuted the fashion

house’s inaugural scent, Flowerbomb.

Bonbon will launch April 10 to a New York

store kickoff celebration, including a

personal appearance by the designers,

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, and

simultaneous national events in Saks

Fifth Avenue stores across the country.

The scent is composed of sparkling, effervescent mandarin and orange slices – crystalized into crackling pieces of caramel wrapping succulent fruit. The sweetness of paradise peach accord flirts with supple caramel notes, clinging to the roundness of peach’s fleecy surface. Sun-filled jasmine is sustained by orange blossom whose sweet flavor clings to the soft smell of caramel. Finally, gaïc and cedar woods blend into the base note to achieve a balance between smooth, creamy, milky sandalwood notes and the stronger and darker notes of woody amber. Bonbon’s precious glass bottle is wrapped in a luxurious raspberry-toned box imprinted with the scent’s black bow and Viktor&Rolf’s signature seal.

Woven throughout the collections, the bow forms an iconic design symbol in the house’s rich heritage and embodies the essence of the couture spirit. Master craftsmen from Pochet du Courval realized the exceptional one-of-a-kind Bonbon bottle. Technically difficult, the glass bow was rendered through a groundbreaking patent process. The contours of the bow’s design were shaded in pink tones with a precise degradé process.

Serge Majoullier and Cécile Matton are the perfumers who worked with Viktor&Rolf to create Bonbon.
