The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Spicebomb Infrared by Viktor&Rolf is an Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumers Jean-Christophe Hérault, Carlos Benaïm, and Nicolas Beaulieu. This composition opens with a burst of red fruits and pink pepper, creating a fresh and fruity top note that transitions into the warmth of cinnamon and saffron. The heart brings soft spiciness from red pepper, while the base notes of tobacco and benzoin add depth and an amber sweetness that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting impression. The red fruits and pink pepper are vibrant but fade within an hour, making it essential to rely on the lingering warmth of cinnamon and tobacco that lasts throughout the day.
