by Viktor&Rolf
Dirty Trick by Viktor&Rolf is a highly distinctive, unisex fragrance with a strong woody-leather base and a complex, powdery-iris top note that evolves into a soft, warm, and subtly sweet drydown. It opens with a dry, aromatic inkiness and soft suede that can feel slightly metallic or animalic, with a faint chemical or synthetic edge that some find jarring. As it settles, the scent transitions into a lighter, more inviting cloud of powdery iris, vanilla-like sweetness, and velvety suede, giving a quiet, intimate presence that feels more like a worn leather journal than a traditional perfume. It conveys a sense of quiet opulence—cool, refined, with a subtle dirty sexiness, reminiscent of old libraries and antique trunks. The sillage is intimate to moderate, with moderate longevity, and it performs best in cooler weather. Its uniqueness lies in its paradoxical nature—faintly sweet but not fruity, soft yet bold—and it resonates most with those who appreciate avant-garde, introspective scents that defy easy categorization.
