Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, Sample
A modern masculine classic from perfumer Olivier Polge, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb is a bold and captivating fragrance that commands attention. The iconic grenade-shaped bottle is a familiar sight to fragrance aficionados, showcasing the explosive power within. Upon the first spray, the exhilarating burst of bergamot and grapefruit delivers a bright, invigorating freshness, perfectly balanced by the warmth of cinnamon leaf, which adds a spicy, inviting depth.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals an intriguing complexity where the aromatic charm of lavender merges with the fiery heat of pimento berries. Saffron lends a luxurious, slightly leathery touch, while elemi and pink pepper add a resinous, peppery nuance that dances on the skin. This spicy heart is both dynamic and comforting, creating a sense of refined elegance and intensity.
In the dry-down, the base notes of vetiver and fir balsam provide a robust, earthy foundation that is both grounding and sophisticated. The tobacco accord introduces a smoky richness, enveloping the senses with its dark allure, while the white leather accord softens the composition, adding a creamy, smooth finish. Together, these elements craft a fragrance that is both timeless and modern, exuding an irresistible allure that lingers long after the initial burst.
