Key notes: Fennel-gentian flower extract, jasmine superinfusion, bourbon vanilla
Kicking this off with my most-worn and loved perfume from Viktor & Rolf, Good Fortune. It's a fairly new launch for the brand, but it immediately captured my attention with its rich notes of bourbon vanilla and jasmine. It's a favorite of mine because it's sweet and has a strong presence, but there's also an air of mystery to the scent that gives it an edge. I genuinely always receive compliments on it when I wear it and I can't stop sniffing my wrist when I spritz it on.
Key notes: Blackcurrant, peach, caramel
This is definitely a gourmand scent and not for everyone, but if you like fragrances with notes of sweet, tasty caramel, this one's for you. The notes of blackcurrant and peach definitely add to the juicy, delicious scent, but I like that it isn't overpowering or sickly sweet. The notes are just perfectly balanced.
Key notes: Blackcurrant, rose, white musk
Key notes: Jasmine, orange blossom, patchouli
Flowerbomb is my second favorite of the bunch. I expected this fragrance to smell extremely floral, but I was surprised to discover it smells more like cake batter and pure happiness. It's most likely the strong combo of orange blossom and patchouli, but if you also adore the smell of fresh ice cream cones and cake (in an elevated way, of course), give this one a try.

Key notes: Sage, triple black spice complex, roasted almonds
Spicebomb is obviously for those who like to go heavier on the spice. Notes of bergamot, pink pepper, chili, and cinnamon burst forward upon the first spritz. What really stands out though is the base of leather, tobacco, and vetiver. It's earthy and makes a statement but notes of roasted almond also add softness and creaminess to it so it's not too much.
Key notes: Vine peach, ruby orchid, bourbon vanilla.
This slightly more floral rendition of Flowerbomb is equally as good as the OG. In fact, I had a hard time deciding which one I liked more. Vanilla bean accord is one of my favorite perfume notes and it smells so lush when combined with ruby orchid, peach, and bourbon vanilla.
Key notes: Grapefruit, cinnamon, woody amber.
This amped-up version of Spicebomb is woody, aromatic, and even more explosive. I love the addition of lavender and black pepper to the base notes of tobacco and vanilla. It definitely packs a punch, so if you're looking for something subtle, this probably isn't it.
Key notes: Cinnamon bark oil, ylang-ylang, Australian sandalwood
