This new project is quite a turnaround for the spirit of the collection. It seems to indicate that when you starve a line of mystery, it has a way of coming back to haunt you. Just the other day, we were musing that niche libraries are not particularly big on the fantasy genre when announcing the new Viktor & Rolf Magic Collection - and look at the trend that's forming right now. It's a perfect atmosphere for the launch of the latest Harry Potter which is coming back from the dead this fall season of 2016.
Each 100 ml edp is priced at $180. Available at Barneys.
