Viktor & Rolf is an Amsterdam-based fashion house founded by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. Born in 1969, the duo met while studying fashion at the Academy of the Arts in Arnhem. Noted for their physical resemblance, they often appear in identical outfits during post-show photo sessions or catwalk finales, a signature spectacle that mirrors the avant-garde spirit of their work.
Their fashion shows transcend traditional presentations, evolving into artistic installations. Memorable examples include a model layered in nine couture gowns, "blue screen"-themed shows where blue-clad models served as backdrops for film projections, and productions where each model wore custom scaffolding with integrated lighting and sound systems. For their debut menswear collection, "Monsieur," Viktor and Rolf themselves modeled the designs, changing onstage in front of the audience—a bold nod to their performative approach.
Renowned for blending creativity and artistry, their designs have been featured in exhibitions at some of the world’s most prestigious art museums. Beyond fashion, they have published books and designed theatrical costumes, extending their creative vision to diverse mediums.
Perfumery emerged as a natural extension of their oeuvre. The brand’s first fragrance,Flowerbomb, launched in 2004 to complement the Spring/Summer 2005 women’s collection of the same name. Viktor & Rolf conceptualized the iconic "hand grenade" bottle and packaging, a design that became synonymous with the scent’s instant success. The fragrance spawned numerous flankers and limited editions, quickly followed by a men’s line.
Their debut men’s fragrance,Antidote(2006), aligned with the "Antidote"-themed Monsieur collection. In 2009,Eau Mega(a playful take on "Omega") made headlines for its innovative packaging: a seamless cap-sprayer unit activated by pressing a circular Viktor & Rolf emblem. The men’s fragranceSpicebombjoined the lineup in 2012, further solidifying the brand’s olfactory legacy.
With 103 perfumes in our fragrance database, Viktor&Rolf’s olfactory journey spans from its earliest edition in 1996 to the latest release in 2025. The brand has collaborated with esteemed perfumers including Alienor Massenet, Pierre Wargnye, Carlos Benaïm, Olivier Polge, and many others, showcasing a rich tapestry of creative partnerships.
