The story behind the bottle.
Bonbon Pastel by Viktor&Rolf was launched in 2019 as a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. Created by perfumers Cécile Matton and Serge Majoullier, this composition opens with the bright zest of mandarin orange and bergamot, paired with cardamom's warm spice. The heart reveals sea notes and white florals like orange blossom and neroli, creating a distinctive blend of freshness and sweetness. The base layers in caramel, amber, musk, and sandalwood for an indulgent finish that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Apply Bonbon Pastel with two sprays to capture both its citrusy opening and its warm base notes. It's best suited for daytime wear when the contrast between fresh top notes and rich base notes comes through clearly.
