Swiss Unlimited

Have you ever thought about visiting the mountain regions of Switzerland? What if I told you that you can do that without having to leave your House? That's right! In 2009, Victorinox released Swiss Unlimited, which is a delicious fragrance, little commented around here, in Brazil (as most of the perfumes of the House), but very well made. The official composition (which is not disclosed with clarity), says that the fragrance has notes of bergamot, cassis, mint and Génépi liqueur (obtained through the distillation of Absinthe flower on a basis of vodka or pure grain alcohol), in the head. Then, a heart of aromatic wormwood, lavender and a touch of cinnamon. In the base, notes of musk, patchouli, amber and silver fir. The result is woody, aromatic and alcoholic. This is a completely distinct scent, which has soft evolution, keeping its woody and seductive nuances for all the time. It seems that you climbed a trail for hours, inside a dense forest full of humid pines and, when got to the top, you inspired that fresh air, entering the nostrils coldly, while your body still exudes warmth. It's wonderful! The output is quite strong, but after about 15 minutes becomes stable and calm. For those who enjoy woody scents, this is more than indicated. In addition, the aroma of the fir is not so hard and uncomfortable (for many) like the pine. And the aromatic side of the wormwood confers a unique signature to this creation. In comparisons made by other users, it seems it has similarities with He Wood Rock Mountain and Porsche Design The Essence. I don't remember any of them, but I know that both have pepper and incense, notes that do not exist in Swiss Unlimited. Finally, the bottle (that comes inside of a rubber armor) is made to be unbreakable and still has the advantage of being rechargeable, with a refill that is usually cheaper. It brings a carabiner and a modern and retractable lid, giving a touch of technology to the product, which features the traditional red color of the brand. With Swiss Unlimited, the City changes: the asphalt turns into Earth and gravel, the buildings turn into old trees and the air becomes pure.

Swiss Unlimited is the most underrated fragrance available... This fragrance is green (really green) and outdoorsy fresh. Swiss Unlimited is taking a walk up Water Rock Knob, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, in mid-October listening to leaves making their journey to the ground after a colorful season or smelling a fireplace in the distance, cutting the morning chill and warming the people inside a mountain cabin. It is the sensation of selecting the family’s own Christmas tree on a crisp late November morning, just before Thanksgiving, in a field outside Cashiers (NC) where a light snow has just fallen – then enjoying a cup of your favorite java at the local shop at the crossroads of highways 107 and 64. And if you close your eyes, you can reminisce of Spring at the Biltmore House and taking in the smell of blooming azaleas and hearing the buzz of bees getting an early start on the nectar. When Summer finally arrives, Swiss Unlimited are those early morning walks on the South Carolina coast, watching the sun rise and holding the hand of someone special. Swiss Unlimited is truly a beautiful fragrance that can be worn during any season and to any event. Performance is excellent, lasting all day with great projection. This fragrance is a crowd pleaser – every time I have worn Swiss Unlimited, I have received favorable comments. The real beauty is the price – great fragrance without breaking the bank. On a personal note, Swiss Unlimited is the first fragrance my girlfriend purchased for me. It was not an anniversary, birthday, nor Christmas present – it was – just because..!! That is the way she is and one of the many reasons I love her... Final tally for Swiss Unlimited is 4.7 stars out of 5 stars. Great smelling fragrance that is versatile and modestly priced. Definitely recommend adding to any collection – I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Swiss Unlimited will always have a sentimental value and special place in my heart - and thank you, Blondie, for this present – you are my best friend and I love you with all my heart... Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting...

Absinthe, Thujone, Cassis and Fir tree. Amazing stuff 10/10. Imagine pouring some Absinthe, Stroh or Jagermeister while trekking thru a pine forest in the alps or in Patagonia. It is a very unique scent and I know nothing quite similar to it, perhaps because of the heavy use of the Genepi liqueur in it. I wear it on similar occasions to Lalique's L'insoumis, which it's the closest I can compare it to, although Montblanc individuel has similarities. The longevity and projection are beast mode. It is discontinued now and hard to get, but recently they released a perfume named "Genepi", of which I cannot say is it the same product renamed, a reformulation or a totally different scent. Victorinox has given me nothing but duds before (Rock, Steel) but this one is a kind of magic and hence it will be forever my signature scent.

I love this fragrance , very underrated and cheap , this is one of the rare fragrances which perform better and smell better on my skin compared to on my cloths .Its green , woody and unique ,I never smelled it on any one , the company also have great customer care , when you purchase this fragrance there is a code which you can send to them to receive a travel rubber spray which will allow you to reapply , you can use this travel rubber sprays for other fragrances as well .A must try .

great perfume. At first it's a bit minty and fresh like a cucumber. Its scent pervades everywhere I am. Drying is very soapy, cucumbers are breathtakingly fresh. i didnt feel alcohol or similiar. I don't have anything like it in my collection. It will be one of the best in my collection. 10/10

Fragrantica, please, where are the Swiss Unlimited Snowpower, Swiss Unlimited Snowflower, Swiss Army Forest, and Swiss Army Classic Icon?

some kind of absinth scent... green fairy !!

I stumbled across this yesterday in the biggest souvenir shop in Interlaken. The only notes listed on the note breakdown were Genepi (a Swiss alpine flower used to make Schnapps), Absinthe, and Silver Fir. The packaging and formulation are not the same as listed above, and the name has been changed to Genepi.. It is a bit boozy, coniferous, and slightly green herbal aroma. The opening is really nice which persists for about 2-3 hours. However after 4-5 hours it is just a skin scent and the coniferous notes are gone. It might do better in warmer weather. And I only had it on the test paper, not my own skin. If you can find it for a bargain price it would be a good, versatile fragrance that would make you stand out as the unique one. No one in the crowd is wearing anything like this. It smells like the real swiss mountains to me. And I have been hiking in them for the last 14 years.

I guess they changed the name to Genepi. It smells like it looks, very green and fresh. Doesn't really perform that well in cold weather, I wore it to the gym and as soon as I started sweating, the projection was through the roof, it was embarrassingly strong. I cannot wait to wear this in the summer. The fragrance is clean with lots herbs, soapy and a bit boozey, smells a bit familiar except absinthe gives it a very unique, almost mysterious vibe. Not my favorite scent, but I just love the color of the juice, I've been spraying myself with it every 2 hours. It's a beautiful scent.

This smells like Mont Blanc Presence but spicier! This is very Green and woodsy like you were in a National Park here in the US. I here it smells like the forests in Switzerland but I haven't been there to say so. I would also say that this has a little bit of a Bvlgari Man Wood Essence similarity and both are Green woody spicy fragrances. There is some liquor notes in here as well and they fit in very well. They add some bold character to this fragrance. I recommend this one if you want something your friends don't wear and you have a budget. It's a great cheapie!

I remember being 11 years old and getting a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife under the Christmas tree... Inside the box there was a sample of this perfume. I couldn't get my nose off of it. Somehow I remembered of it 15 years later and I got myself a bottle off eBay. Such nostalgia. It's a clean, masculine scent. The freshness of mint and lavender hit immediately and the musk and patchouli settle in on the skin. It's a very delicate and subtle scent, likely due to the bottle being 17 years old. It's a clean, masculine, inoffensive scent, perfect for indoor situations.

This is one smells like a forest. For those who want something masculine minus the usual citrus spice formula . As for notes I am not sure but imagine standing in a grove of trees,nothing specific like pine or cypress. Just trees leaves and mountain air. The bottle is rubber and suited for mountain climbing and travel.not that anybody would pack this on a long hump up a mountain. A little like CK eternity summer14

I really like this cologne, Hard to find it. Opens with really green notes, after two hours it becomes sweet. It has really nice longevity and protection. Sillage is really good. I put on me 5 sprays and The person next to me was saying; Smells good but too heavy. So you don't want to over spray this one. I loved this one, Very nice summer scent.

Got it for $25CAD at a Winner's or Marshall's. Great at that price. I find it to be something like L'eau d'issey with the citrus removed. Smells very fresh like you used 5 dryer sheets by accident, smells woody like warm conifers.

Swiss Unlimited is a solid everyday fragrance. It's fresh and clean with a nice woody base that makes it feel sophisticated but not overwhelming. The mint and bergamot in the opening are really invigorating.

I like it. Very green and fresh. Easy to wear. For a man that likes outdoors. Almost all seasons.

After the cool down, I smell like a dryer sheet. I like it!

A sport and soft Montblanc Individuel version.

Blind buy worthy. Refreshing stuff. But keep in mind it is on the synthetic side. Cold cucumbers and sweet-ish absinthe. A very subdued menthol in the passenger seat. Underrated cheap gem for your summer rotation. 7.4/10
