Hedonist Viktoria Minya for women

Hedonist is extremely wonderful! It's a very pretty scent, very unique, with beautiful packaging! I had a hard time finding recently a niche gem that is UNIQUE and easily WEARABLE in the same time!
I smell mysteriously dry vetyver with sophisticated osmanthus, and a lovely woody-musky-vanilla base that stays on and on and on for hours, the perfume really has great longevity.
I have to admit at first sniff, I didn't find it sexy, for me it's not dirty or provoking but it definitely has an effect on my BF, who finds this very sensual on me!!! That's all what matters!!! ;-D

If there could be a dessert that was made of a thin layer of rum-soaked spice cake, topped with baked peaches drizzled in honey, that's what I get from Hedonist.

Hedonist seems to be gourmand on me, not chypre. I don't get anything chypre here, maybe just a little bit of woods, but I don't think that makes it a chypre.

When I first wore it, I was certain I smelled spices like cinnamon and clove. I finally realized there is a note of tobacco, which tends to smell like ashy cinnamon on my skin, a quality I generally like.

I don't really smell flowers, maybe osmanthus.

The scent of it is really golden, reminding me of honey and ambrosia with a glass of Alsacian gewurstraminer.

I wouldn't describe it as hedonistic. It's like peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream, which is not something I associate with their description above of desire, love, provocation, or lust. But it's still very nice. I bought it without sampling first. The bottle and presentation are indeed beautiful. More perfumers should care about those things. While the actual perfume is only a "like" for me, the beautiful presentation almost makes it worth collecting.

love at first sniff <3
this beauty might be my next fave! Such a unique fragrance, very very longlasting and the bottle is incredibly pretty! i get a lot of men compimenting me when wearing it <3 <3 <3

Its an impressive fragrance. It rivals the top of the line brand fragrances out there on the market. It you won't to be identified as wearing nice expensive fragrance that makes people shout amazing things about the perfume you are wearing then consider this above all the other ones that have taken you on a orgasmic ride. Very nice, creamy, and seductive for any women who wants to be noticed anywhere! Also this isn't a copy cat or a common fragrance that is on everyone but exclusive. Try it and you won't regret it!

I received my bottle of Hedonist this morning. I am in love already. The bottle and the presentation box are beautiful. The scent is honeyed peach, warm and sumptuous. It's creamy and intoxicating. I get sparkling peach and rum to start, then orange, jasmine and vanilla. It's decadent and delicious. Very feminine and unlike a number of other niche perfumes I own, instantly wearable. It's a classic beauty. I also think women of all ages will appreciate this. I think the previous post restricting this amazing scent to the over forties is not the case. I don't think it's for teenagers but it's certainly edgy enough for confident twenty somethings! I am in my thirties and it's my new crush. Absolutely worth the money. I was also lucky enough to have Viktoria call me to check that my order had arrived. Such a thrill!

I saw the bottle in the suggested perfumes on the left bar of fragrantica and I couldnt not click on it!
It is so rare these days to have a bottle so beautiful that I would even put it in my saloon instead of a artwork. These days, the bottles are the cheapest most simple one... I like when the perfume is not only a scented liquid but a piece of art by itself. or else, let them put it in a plastic bag!
I would definitely buy the bottle and show off with it :)

the whole packaging is soooo sophisticated, so artistic!!!! but the scent is the purest luxury, so unique and sexy!

This is a gorgeous fragrance, but I have smelled this somewhere else before.

I also would like to point out that this fragrance is for someone over 40, I do not see this fragrance on anyone younger than 40.

The smell is very rich honey like with some very interesting undertones, it lasts and lasts ( nothing lasts longer than 1 hour on my skin ) but this perfume lasted several hours.

The bottle is obviously perfection, if you want to spoil your mom for mother's day give this to her as a gift.

I would say it's worth the money of 180 dollars a bottle, because it is a truly gorgeous fragrance in a truly gorgeous bottle, a real perfume.

I received the sample in the post today after reading the review on Fragrantica. I think this may be "THE ONE"!!!... I have never smelt anything quite like this before. Now I just have to find the 130 Euros to buy the bottle.

This is a beautiful classy fragrance, sweet, fruity, gourmand and chypre ;o)) I've enjoyed wearing it, especially when the weather was quite cold and rainy (in Italy during Esxence), it was my ray of the sun, a very cheerful fragrance ;o)

Amazing fragrance, sexy and sensous all at the same time. I definitely get some Peach in this, but its deep and luscious, nothing child like or fruity here....all grown up sexy woman scent.

This is nothing like I have ever smelled before. Not that it has any ingredient I am not familiar with, just that the creation here has a specific style that I so far have not encoutered. A very woody chypre, with gourmand notes but which manages to stay very sophisticated. A true piece of art!

I was expecting this to be very sensual, but it turned very elegant and harmonious instead on my skin. Starts with loads of citruses and peach, I also can smell flowers and vanilla in the background. Tasty. Chic. Noble.

This is a sample I tried, and I found it intoxicating. The scent is has a lot of "volume", full of mysteries and although fruity, it is a very "adult" fragrance.
It is sexy and dark on the drydown, but playful and flirty on the top. I get a lot of rum and smoky notes.

This is really pretty for want of a better term. I first got a big hit of peach melded with vetiver and jasmine, with the vanilla lurking in the background. After 15 minutes the boozy tobacco note arrived - but it was clean instead of intoxicating, if that make sany sense - perhaps the vetiver keeping it in check? After several hours, a lovely cedar and vailla combination with a fruity underpinning (couldn't discern peach at this stage, just fruit)
Lovely as it is, with wonderful longevity, on my skin, feels like a piece of the puzzle is missing.
Still - really nicely blended,notes melded well without vieing for a solo performance.

Whatever is inside, i love the bottle for my collection :) if what is inside is nice like everyone says, it will be "the cherry on the cake" like we say in french!

This perfume makes me think of lazy summers when I first use it. Warm lush evenings, with bees buzzing. It also gives me images of elegant ladies in white dresses in rowing boats, like the ladies in some of Monets paintings.

My sample has just arrived today!!! :)
On my skin, it is beautifully vetiver-like and slightly gourmand, and while it stays very feminin all the way long it feels provokingly woody for me.
The rum & tobacco mix is utterly sensual and very unique indeed, but also well balanced with other floral and fruity notes.
I got a longevity with above-average sillage of 7-8 good hours, which is great, because my skin is very dry so I usually get much less than other people.

Just bought it; the scent develops very well and becomes amazing after around 15min on the skin

Finally.....a perfume for the unashamed Hedonist!
