Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Night Vision EDP, Sample
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Night Vision EDP unfolds with a vibrant burst of green apple, which introduces a crisp and juicy brightness to the fragrance. This is immediately met with the fiery heat of black pepper and chili pepper, creating a dynamic tension that captivates the senses. The spicy warmth of cardamom, nutmeg and cloves further enriches the opening, offering a multifaceted spice profile that is both invigorating and compelling. As the citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon weave through the spice, they provide a refreshing contrast, enhancing the overall allure of the scent's top layer.
As the fragrance transitions into the heart, the smooth and aromatic presence of lavender emerges alongside the herbal nuances of clary sage and rosemary. These elements lend a soothing quality, balancing the initial spiciness with a softer, more calming essence. The cool mint adds an invigorating touch, while coriander and mastic or lentisque introduce an earthy depth, creating a sophisticated and modern masculine aura.
In the dry down, the composition settles into a warm, resinous base. The nutty richness of pistachio melds with the creamy balsam fir and the sweet, amber-like resonance of benzoin, creating a comforting warmth. Cedar and patchouli provide a grounding woody undertone, while labdanum and olibanum contribute a smoky, incense-like quality that lingers beautifully on the skin. This harmonious interplay of notes forms a magnetic and enduring signature scent, perfect for the modern gentleman.
