Spicebomb Infrared: Viktor & Rolf's new grenade In 2005, the Viktor & Rolf house gave birth to Flowerbomb, a first perfume marking the brand's entry into the world of perfumery. It was an infinitely explosive essence, like a burst of flowers.

Perfumery is meant to reveal the personality of the person wearing a perfume. In other words, always try to choose a fragrance in your own image. If you are shy and rather introverted, prefer discreet essences. If you are sporty and dynamic, dare freshness and liveliness. If you are torrid and explosive, simply choose Spicebomb Infrared! This perfume was created by the Viktor & Rolf house in 2021. It comes in a red and black grenade-shaped bottle, immediately revealing its fiery and untamable side. Playing in a seductive register, it is a weapon of massive seduction. So, what does its recipe conceal? Let's break down its composition.

Viktor & Rolf uses numerous spices

Spicebomb Infrared is an infinitely fiery perfume. Like its predecessors, it relies above all on the use of spices. Remember, in 2012, Viktor & Rolf described Spicebomb as an olfactory dynamite […] The promise of a concentrate with an explosive personality. Spicebomb Infrared follows exactly the same path. It first contains the most expensive spice in the world: saffron. Used by perfumers since always, saffron has the power to spice up perfumes. Reproduced synthetically in the laboratory, it is at once dark, leathery and honeyed. Here, it combines with Habanero pepper, also considered a chili pepper or nicknamed the Chinese pepper. To soften the whole while preserving a very spicy side, Spicebomb Infrared also contains cinnamon. Ideal for flavoring pastries, this bark is cherished by perfumers, who particularly appreciate it for its richness and its many facets, evolving from a warm scent to a peppery breath.

Spicebomb Infrared, the gourmand character of red fruits

Spicebomb Infrared is also freshened with a few fruits. Here, red fruits are given pride of place. Strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant or redcurrant, red fruits are summer staples and have the gift of whetting the appetite. Here, they meet the bewitching world of perfumery, while recalling the gourmand character of pastry. Along the way, red fruits fit perfectly with the world of Spicebomb Infrared, which draws its inspiration from infrared light.

An enveloping and smooth base

Finally, in its base, Spicebomb Infrared gradually softens. Its explosive side gives way to a more carnal and enveloping sillage. For this, Viktor & Rolf's perfumers opted for benzoin resin, a raw material rich in many facets. In turn, it appears vanilla-like, sweet, mellow, honeyed or more floral. In a milky sweep, the Spicebomb Infrared perfume ends with a cloud of tobacco, more aromatic.
Spicebomb Infrared by Viktor & Rolf ignites a magnetic game of seduction that burns like a flame. It raises the heat of the senses, creating a crescendo of sensuality, a true frenzy of torrid feelings and seduction.
