Reviews of Swiss Unlimited by Victorinox

Show: All Reviews
This is really nice, at least somewhat unique and with excellent balance. The few other Victorinox scents I've tried were always too "chemical" or became that way after a while (as in 125 Year's far drydown), but this is quite pleasant/natural smelling, and I can see how some would view this as a light green/anisic version of Individuel. I wore Individuel the other day, actually, but I prefer this one to it, since it's rather unique and I also find it more pleasant. The reviews suggest that either there were different formulations, at least one being very strong or one being very weak, or a focus on top notes versus waiting for the drydown. I used to sprays to the chest and kept my shirt open, since I wasn't going out, and it was never too strong, cloying, irritating, "synthetic," etc. I enjoyed every minute of its development!

IMHO...Kind of what Geir Ness tries to do for Norway and Patrick for Ireland...this tries to capture the smell of a Swiss mountain forest-opens fresh and aromatic with a minty pine-has that cold air fresh feel I get from the initial bursts of Silver Mountain Water and Himalaya...to me this has pretty impressive silage and longevity for what it is-on the sweet side, but not overpowering-a little background bitterness helps to keep the sweetness in check...very pine foresty smelling...laundry musk drydown...clean and fresh-giving this a neutral because it's nice and pleasant, but not for my wardrobe-but I can see the appeal of this to someone looking for a fresh clean fragrance-for the price, smell, silage and longevity, it's not a bad option...

Wow! This stuff is really awful! Lol. It's a screeching pine note combined with a tonka sweetness that makes it sickening. This would be much better as an insect repellent or to repel some other form of animal. This might be one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelled.

I sprayed a sample of this on my arm and sniffed it for a couple of hours, I knew i recognized the smell but couldnt for the life of me remember where from. Then all of a sudden it hit me, when I was about 10 my dad used to have one of those 'Feu Orange air fresheners', the ones that look like a little traffic light hanging in his morris minor. This is exactly what it smells of. Its a headache waiting to happen. Not for me unfortunatley, nice packaging though

Smells fresh, soapy, with a hint of zestiness, yet purely average with nothing particularly memorable about it. Longevity is the real downfall of this fragrance; the majority of scents tend to stay on my skin longer than average, but this one barely makes it to 3 hours before completely vanishing. Would make a good inoffensive spring/summer fragrance if longevity were better.

Just bitter in a medicinal way! Stay clear from this. I sampled it for 3 days straight and almost gave myself a headcache!

I was anxious to try it since I like very much the concept of this: the landscape with the mountain and snow, the bottle, the brand itself ... So I applied it with no control and was almost knock down by the strong blast of cold sweetness that is this scent. And I think the fir is a great noticiable note, and what gives the weird sensation I get most of the time. Probably is that medicine thing saxifrage wrote about. And probably one of the notes responsible for give the somewhat cold or fresh feeling I get, which is the only thing I may say keeps my attention. I don't think is easy to like, in fact is quite the opposite. Maybe works better really in the cold weather, like somewhere in switzerland itself, and I´m not joking. I´d like to try that there, or at São Joaquim, the coldest city here in Brazil. Just because of that I still want to try it more. So far, considering the fact that I´m disturbed most of the time while using it, the overall evaluation goes to the negative side.

I really enjoyed the fresh scent of this fragrance, but apply sparingly. It lasts at least 5-6 hours. It is a fragrance that offers quality beyond it's fancy packaging. May be too strong for some and it can be cloying if overapplied. I enjoy wearing it often.
