Viktor&Rolf Mega is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Olivier Polge and Carlos Benaïm. Mega opens with Lemon, Violet Leaf, Pear, and Basil, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Viktor&Rolf's Mega carries a Favourite verdict, an aquatic-led wear.

Mega by Viktor&Rolf is a seriously divisive aquatic floral. Some hail it as a fresh, juicy masterpiece, others dismiss it as a generic, watery mess or even a 'melonbomb'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test this one on skin first, ideally before that pear note turns into something nasty.

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it suitable for office and casual wear, though its linearity might bore some. While some reviews suggest it's good for romantic occasions due to its clean and 'dreamy' feel, it's generally considered less appropriate for formal events, lacking the necessary gravitas.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of aquatic pear and sharp lemon, underpinned by a herbaceous hint of basil and green violet leaf. The heart unfolds into a fresh, dewy floral blend of jasmine and peony, before settling into a soft, clean base of sandalwood and musk. The overall impression is one of watery fruit and subdued freshness, though for some, it leans heavily into a synthetic melon accord that dominates the entire composition.
