In 1999, Guy Alari introduced Viktoria — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — Russia, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A scent you'll want to wear again and again — discovering something new every time. The official website of Guy Alari — http://www.monadiorio.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Viktoria is built as a living composition, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Guy Alari is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Drinks and Ambery. The palette also extends to Wood, Musk and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Floral.
From the first breath you catch invigorating sunny opening notes: Lemon and Lilac.
In the central layer you detect Green Tea, Osmanthus, Peach Blossom, Peony and Wisteria carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Amber enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall Viktoria sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
