by Viktor&Rolf
Liquid Diamonds by Viktor & Rolf presents a highly clean, soapy, and transparent floral profile with sharp, crisp initial notes of pink pepper, rose, peony, and jasmine, leading to a musky, powdery, and slightly lactonic dry down. The fragrance evokes the sensation of stepping out of a fresh shower in a luxury hotel—crisp, cold, transparent, and mineral-like. Many describe it as akin to high-end laundry powder, white bar soap, or a cooling cloud of musk and flower water. Its silage is moderate, but fades quickly past an hour. The scent is very clean and non-greasy, offering minimal sweetness, with notes of patchouli and ylang-ylang present only in subtle, background depths. While some find it refreshingly pure and serene, others perceive it as harsh, generic, or overly synthetic, particularly due to its powerful presence of ambroxan and sharp musky undertones that some describe as chemical or irritating. It is not strong or heavy, nor does it project widely—making it ideal for close-range, daytime wear. The fragrance is universally perceived as feminine, though highly wearable and unoffensive for those seeking a light, non-assertive scent.
