The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Viktor&Rolf and crafted by Olivier Polge, Spicebomb Limited Edition is a woody spicy fragrance that marries the sharpness of pink pepper and bergamot with warm spices like cinnamon and saffron. The heart notes of elemi and grapefruit add an aromatic brightness, while tobacco and leather in the base create a rich and enveloping warmth. This composition is as dynamic as it is complex, making it feel both contemporary and lasting.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The cinnamon and pink pepper notes are potent but short-lived; it’s the tobacco and leather base that lingers for hours, so let it develop close to the skin rather than trying to fill the room.
