REVIEW: Swiss Army Victoria EDT






























Never did I ever imagine that my everyday fragrance would be one made by Swiss Army Knives. The Swiss Army Victoria EDT* has "fruity top notes of freesia, plum and blackcurrant and base notes including sandal wood and white musk. Victoria is the epitome of independent femininity." For me, I'd describe this fragrance as fresh, light and fruity and since wearing it, I've received no end of compliments. From people at work, the woman in my student accommodation office, people in the shop, my family and even one girl in the lift one day. I've fallen in love with this fragrance and it's happily sat next to my favourite perfumes; my Britney and Taylor Swift ones. The packaging has been inspired by the emblems in the military service which is "the perfect balance of strength, chic and a lighthearted lifestyle." A perfect way to describe this beautiful, summery fragrance. When buying a fragrance (1.0oz/2.5oz) you also receive a unique code to get a U-Fill. I've been loving using mine and I keep it in my bag for touch ups throughout the day.
You can also use the Victoria e-Bouquet Creator which allows you to arrange digital bouquets for your friends and family. You can then send this as a postcard in the mail alongside a sample of the scent. This means that you guys can have a smell of this fragrance without having to source it in shops! Basically, you pick your favourite flowers from a meadow and create your own unique bouquet. You then send your unique bouquet creation with a personalised message as a postcard or even via email. When you send it via postcard, your creation will be imprinted on the postcard with a sample of the Victoria fragrance. As well as this, you can place your bouquets on a voting gallery where friends, family, fans and followers can vote for their favourites and get a chance to win. The first prize is a spa trip for a two and the second and third prizes are the Victoria fragrance with its golden evening pouch and leather bracelet. I've made a bouquet and sent it to my mum as she's someone who adores flowers and I know that this fragrance is one that she's going to love aswell. You can view my bouquet here. I really like this idea. It's fun to create and you can personalise your own message while trying out the fragrance yourself. 

You can buy the Swiss Army Victoria EDT* here for £51, view all of their fragrances here and create your own Victoria e-Bouquet here. Have you ever tried any of the Swiss Army fragrances? Will you be creating your own bouquet? If you do, let me know and I'll give you a vote!
