I tried it a while back. I can't remember much, except it was very sweet. I think I just sprayed it on a card though.

So does "Victorinox" mean its not the same as "Swiss Army"? What is the relationship? The two have always inhabited the same space in my head (rightly or not, I don't know). I really like Swiss Army though.

After decades of battle, VictorInox and Wenger (Swiss Army) have merged not too long ago. They are basically selling a limited number of technical consumer products(knives, watches and accessories like cologne) (ab)using the Swiss flag and associations traditionally connected with it as their main marketing vehicle. The effective owners of Victorinox are domiciled in the US, by the way.

After it became public that a good part of the production takes place in China, not Switzerland, a new law has been passed in this country where the national emblems will not be permitted on products and in advertising for such products, unless they are majorly (> 60% ) produced in this country.

Okay! I finally made it to Bloomingdales and sampled Victorinox Swiss Unlimited. Very unique scent in the same vain of Lolita Lempicka - this has deep notes of Genepi Liquoure running it threw it. The scent is both sweet and licorice - the bottle follows in the lines of A Men with it rubber refillable.

yeah I liked it!

I tried it at Bloomingdales. It is definitely sweet and "licoricey". I did not like it though nor did I find it unique.

It's kind of like Lolita Lempicka and Dolce & Gabbana had a love child together and Swiss Unlimited was it -
