SOTD: Spicebomb Infrared edp by Viktor & Rolf 27/03/2026

🔥

The last in the current line up of available Spicebombs. Said to be an intensified version of it's now discontinued presessesor the edt. It's a Spicy Woody/Leather fragrance. It takes the signature Spicebomb DNA and amplifies the "red hot" spices, adding a deeper, more sensual base. Whilst it remains a touch of the classic og it does steer away towards something subtly different.

The initial spray is an intense, spicy explosion dominated by Chili Pepper and Cinnamon.pink pepper provides that recognisable of note. As it dries down, the prominent Leather accord emerges, it's almost carnal and combines with the continued heat of the Habanero for a smoky, sensual core. The scent ultimately settles into a warm, ambery dry-down of a Resinous Wood accord and more animalistic leather, whilst maintaining its spicy warmth throughout.

Performance is not amazing, sometimes I expect too much, AI get 5ish hours on skin. It's designed to be inviting and sensual rather than overwhelmingly loud, creating a noticeable but not overbearing aura. Goes without saying this is a winter fragrance. We're the warm/Spicey heat can shine. Perfect for those cold nights. Whilst many consider this a mans scent, I think it works really well on a lady. The fragrance evokes a feeling of intense, glowing red heat, living up to its "Infrared" name.
