Spicebomb Infrared: The new grenade from Viktor & Rolf. In 2005, the Viktor & Rolf house gave birth to Flowerbomb, a first fragrance marking the brand's entry into the world of perfumery. It was an infinitely explosive essence, like a burst of flowers.
Viktor & Rolf is a world-famous brand for its deceptively casual style, its rebellious yet elegant side. This is how the house designs its clothing but also its fragrances. It is therefore only natural that Viktor & Rolf conceived, in 2012, a fragrance presented in a grenade shape and named Spicebomb. Today, it returns to the forefront under the name Spicebomb Infrared. Spicy, fruity and woody, it lacks neither character nor longevity. But what about its bottle? Let's break it down.
Spicebomb Infrared, a grenade-shaped bottle
While most fragrance cases come in cylindrical or rectangular glass bottles, Spicebomb Infrared does nothing like the others. It lends itself to the art of repurposing objects and dares an unexpected style. In a very military spirit, it comes in a glass grenade. Its shape is identifiable at first glance. A pin is also attached at its neck. This one, moreover, has the advantage of offering it a particular use. To become intoxicated with the scent of Spicebomb Infrared, one must first disarm its pin. If Viktor & Rolf chose the grenade for its fragrance, it is simply because it is a weapon of mass seduction. Moreover, this only amplifies its masculine side. Spicebomb Infrared is a fragrance overflowing with energy, whose center is girded with a wide black band, as if to contain all its explosiveness.
The new red gradient of Spicebomb Infrared
As the name of this fragrance indicates, it is a juice inspired by infrared technology. Do not know what that is? Infrared light perceives all elements giving off heat. In other words, the hotter an object or a body is, the more its coloring becomes red. If the Spicebomb Infrared bottle is to be believed, heat here reaches new heights. Viktor & Rolf delivers a warm fragrance, giving rise to an incandescent shiver on the body of the man who wears it. Its bottle evolves within this new color code. Red is present at its base, before darkening at its top to an opaque black coloring.
The refined details of the Viktor & Rolf bottle
If the Spicebomb Infrared bottle has a particularly sturdy and masculine visual, it is not lacking in refinement. As proof, its glass is sculpted with precision, into different chiseled and regular facets. These are worked in the same way as a diamond. Thus, despite its masculinity, Spicebomb Infrared fits well within the register of fine perfumery. On its pin, the Viktor & Rolf seal appears with sobriety and elegance.
In terms of size, Spicebomb Infrared by Viktor & Rolf exists in two different bottle sizes, in a spray bottle of 50 or 90 milliliters.
