Victoria

Victoria by Frassai is a bold, tropical floral with a confrontational presence that divides opinion. It opens with a sharp, sweet litchi and petitgrain, leading into a dense core of tuberose, rose, and styrax that feels both buttery and surprisingly synthetic or medicinal to some. The heart is dominated by lush, tropical florals that some describe as coconut-like, while others find them pungent or irritating — reminiscent of citronella, fish, or yellow mustard. The base is woody and angular, built on agarwood (oud), patchouli, and olibanum, creating a deep, complex, and slightly metallic foundation. Its sillage is moderate to strong, clinging to skin with surprising longevity even in warm weather. The fragrance exudes a sensual, humid jungle atmosphere, making it especially favored for night wear and cooler seasons. While it doesn't offer subtle elegance, many appreciate its daring originality — comparing it to vintage, forgotten florals or even a French classic with a twist.
