The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Viktor&Rolf and crafted by Carlos Benaïm, Jean-Christophe Hérault, and Nicolas Beaulieu, Spicebomb Infrared Eau de Parfum is a bold statement of warm spices and leather. The opening notes of cinnamon and chili pepper create an immediate sense of heat and energy, while the heart adds depth with pink pepper and resins. As it settles into its woody and amber base, the composition transforms into a rich blend of warmth and comfort, making it both invigorating and enveloping.
Apply this fragrance liberally to ensure that its warm and spicy notes fully bloom on your skin. The cinnamon and chili pepper are potent top notes that can fade quickly, so it's best used for daytime wear when you want a scent that captures attention from the start.
