Viktor & Rolf
Spicebomb Infrared EDT
“The original Spicebomb turned the heat up and added a fistful of red pepper.”
A red-pepper-and-tobacco 2021 flanker in V&R's Spicebomb line — Hérault, Benaïm, and Beaulieu's launch, a spicier, warmer take on the line's signature gourmand-spicy structure. Pink pepper and saffron at the top, cinnamon through the heart, tobacco drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
