It was not until 2012 that its masculine equivalent appeared: a bomb of spices named Spicebomb. Today, in March 2021, history repeats itself once again. This time, Viktor & Rolf decides to raise the temperature a notch and depicts the portrait of an infinitely torrid and seductive man. Its new juice is called Spicebomb Infrared. As powerful as it is bewitching, it cannot escape you!

Spicebomb Infrared, a perfume inspired by infrared technology

The human eye is capable of perceiving all sorts of details. However, certain elements escape it. This is why infrared technology was designed. Not operating on the same spectrum as visible light, it gives a red color to any element giving off heat. More concretely, the hotter an element is, the more its red color intensifies. Here, heat seems to have taken over Viktor & Rolf's bottle. Spicebomb Infrared is a perfume that accentuates the body heat of a man. It burns with an inner flame and creates on him a crescendo of sensuality. Like a blazing shiver, it sends us into a torrid and seductive world. Spicebomb Infrared is impossible to ignore. Long-lasting and bewitching, it delivers the image of a particularly tempting man.

Spicebomb Infrared, a weapon of massive seduction

To protect this precious aphrodisiac philter, Viktor & Rolf once again chose to present it in a grenade-shaped bottle. It is fitted with a very original opening. To become intoxicated with its scent, all that is needed is to pull its pin, itself bearing the seal of Viktor & Rolf. Crafted like a grenade, this perfume bottle resembles a chic and sophisticated weapon. This time, however, Spicebomb Infrared adopts an entirely new color code. It is worked in a gradient of red and black. A black band also protects the center of this bottle, present as if to contain all the power of this fragrance for men.

The peppery and fruity scent of Spicebomb Infrared by Viktor & Rolf

With this particularly original visual, one is already eager to discover what this virile glass case holds. To raise the temperature from the top notes to the base notes of Spicebomb Infrared, Viktor & Rolf relied on spices. Saffron gives it a very refined aspect. Indeed, it is the most expensive spice in the world. It is at once leathery, spicy and honeyed. It combines with Habanero pepper, spicier and infinitely warm. Cinnamon, for its part, gives this perfume a new, sweeter touch. Moreover, this also shows through in a blend of red fruits. Tangy and gourmand, they give Spicebomb Infrared an almost pastry-like aspect. Finally, it all ends with a final smooth breath of tobacco and benzoin.

What critics say

Viktor & Rolf is above all a fashion house, known for its modernity, its falsely casual but always elegant style. Then, to complete its wardrobe and the look of its clients, Viktor & Rolf decided, in 2005, to launch into the world of perfumery. This is how Flowerbomb was created, a burst of flowers, followed in 2012 by a masculine counterpart named Spicebomb, much more spicy. Still in a torrid and blazing register, Viktor & Rolf delivers a new variation of this cult scent. Here is our review of Spicebomb Infrared, a men's fragrance from 2021.
