SOTD: Spicebomb Nightvision edp by Viktor & Rolf 01/05/2026

🔥

Big fan of the Spicebomg line. Night vision is a bold, Amber Fougere fragrance. Launched in 2020 as a more intense, refined successor to the 2019 edt version, this scent was crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson & Pierre Negrin. While the original Spicebomb line is famous for its fiery, explosive warmth, Night Vision EDP pivots toward a darker, electric green aesthetic.

It kicks off vibrant & fresh before transitioning to a resinous warmth. In the opening, you are hit with a burst of citrus led by lemon essence and green mandarin, quickly joined by a spicy kick of black pepper & chili. This brightness soon transitions into a lush, aromatic heart where clary sage, rosemary & a unique green resinaccord take center stage, giving the scent its distinct herbal-woody character. As it settles into the base, it reveals its true depth; notes of incense, fir balsam & cedarwood blend together for a smoky, masculine foundation, while hints of almond & tonka bean add a subtle, creamy sweetness that rounds out the sharp edges of the spices.

In terms of performance, this version of Night Vision is a substantial upgrade over the EDT, it lasts 6+ hrs on the skin. Its projection is potent during the first few hours, before settling into a persistent, alluring scent trail. Because of its dense, spicy, and resinous profile, it is best suited for the cooler months of autumn/winter, though it performs exceptionally well on brisk spring evenings. It is also a good night out fragrance, making it a perfect choice for date nights, clubbing, or any evening occasion
