Night Vision, the Spicebomb men's fragrance from Viktor & Rolf Viktor & Rolf announced, in 2012: After creating the most explosive feminine fragrance there is, Flowerbomb, we men felt a touch of jealousy: why didn't we have our own bomb?
A nocturnal vision of the Spicebomb fragrance
Viktor & Rolf is a luxury house unlike any other, characterized by an extraordinary extravagance combined with an undeniable sense of elegance. So when the house steps into perfumery, these fragrances often do not go unnoticed! Reinterpreting the iconic Spicebomb, Viktor & Rolf decided to create a new spice bomb, this time even more nocturnal than before. Viktor & Rolf's new fragrance is called Spicebomb Night Vision. As if to embody the image of an untamed masculinity, Viktor & Rolf incorporated numerous olfactory contrasts into it. Yet this fragrance results in absolute harmony. Let us look at the composition of this brand new juice. How did the house of Viktor & Rolf go about revealing the different facets of man in its latest fragrance?
Spicebomb Night Vision, a first fresh and fruity accord
At first, although it is a nocturnal fragrance, Spicebomb Night Vision relies on the freshness of several fruity and zesty raw materials. The idea here is to embody all the spirit and dynamism of the man wearing this fragrance. Thus, the freshness of cardamom is enhanced by the bitterness of grapefruit and the more tangy facet of mandarin. Apple, meanwhile, brings a greener, crisper scent to this opening. Overall, Spicebomb Night Vision therefore has vivid, fruity and biting top notes, acting like a cold shiver running across the skin.
The incandescent warmth of Spicebomb Night Vision's heart
However, do not be fooled by appearances, Viktor & Rolf fragrances are sometimes full of surprises! This initial freshness lasts only a brief moment and is quickly followed by a particularly spicy and warm heart. The power of chili pepper is paired with the warmth of pepper. Nutmeg, meanwhile, comes across as more aromatic. Emblematic of the Eaux de Cologne of the past, it takes us back to the beginnings of modern perfumery and gives this composition a thoroughly timeless style. Clove is also part of the mix. Clary sage and geranium, meanwhile, heighten the aromatic feel that emanates from this fragrance. It reinforces the elegance of Spicebomb Night Vision without lacking character.
The creamy, woody masculinity of Spicebomb Night Vision
Finally, a more virile and masculine base rounds off this composition. The Viktor & Rolf man reveals himself most fully in woody base notes, whose strength endures for hours. Almond, meanwhile, gives this fragrance more gourmand character and brings a rounder facet, counterbalancing all the spirit that precedes it. From then on, Spicebomb Night Vision gives off perfect harmony. Tonka bean then ties everything together with its milky, lightly caramelized roundness. Spicebomb Night Vision is an addictive delight, whose mere whiff is enough to make one's mouth water!
