Spicebomb Infrared is what sparked my obsession with fragrances. I had never been interested in smelling alcohol, that was until I randomly decided to test this at a beauty store because the bottle looked cool, and I was bored.. WOW. I sprayed this on a paper strip, and I could NOT stop smelling it, even when I took the bus home, still smelling it. Arrived home, still smelling it. The next day? The scent was very much still in the strip, still smelling it. The spicy and fruity opening, the sweet and dark tobacco dry-down. It's just perfect to me. It's one of the best things I've ever smelled. It's incredibly unique and "dark" which is what fits my attire best. Modern, masculine, spicy, and deep.

This has been and will always be one of my favorite perfumes. I'll forever praise and glaze this til I die. The bottle is beautiful, it compliments the juice inside perfectly. This fragrance smells like the color red would. And YES I'm saying all of this without even owning the perfume, but I'll never forget how I felt after finding it and smelling it all day. One day it'll be mine 3 So underrated compared to Spicebomb Extreme. If you were debating whether to get Extreme or this, THIS ALL DAY ANY DAY, I feel like I could drink it. - Scent: 10/10 - Bottle: 9/10 (maybe don't bring this to an airport) - Performance: 8/10 (wish it projected more, but lasts very long) - Price: 9.5/10 at discounters (€44 for 90ml??! too bad it keeps going out of stock, can't blame) - Occasion: Winter fall evening or night out. Colder spring nights maybe. ❄️🍂🌃🌇 - Number of sprays 2, 3 MAX. This stuff is strong. It may not project a ton but smells strong. Overall: 9/10 😍

Red Hots candy in a bottle! Hot flaming cinnamon, complimented by the warm, rich sweetness of the OG EDT DNA. I grew up on cinnamon Altoids candy, and this brings me nostalgia every time I smell it. Sharp, hot and sweet. This is one of the first fragrances that I didn't blind buy, but as soon as I smelled the sample, I knew I had to buy a full bottle; that sample wasn't going to be nearly enough. I would call this a mid level priced designer fragrance. It's around $80-90 from discounters, which is a good amount more than the OG. To me, I think it's absolutely worth that pricetag though. I haven't smelled many higher end fragrances, but this one blew me away and really showed me what perfumers can do. It lasts forever, and is easily one of my favorite fragrances ... MoreRed Hots candy in a bottle! Hot flaming cinnamon, complimented by the warm, rich sweetness of the OG EDT DNA.

I haven't smelled many higher end fragrances, but this one blew me away and really showed me what perfumers can do. It lasts forever, and is easily one of my favorite fragrances right now. It is one that's strong enough to cause anosmia (smell overload, so your nose stops smelling it), but it lasts forever. I will catch whiffs of this hours and hours after I've sprayed it on, but I usually end up blasting myself with it and overwhelm my nose. Overall, I highly recommend this fragrance. It's one of my personal favorites, but the pricetag is high enough that I wouldn't recommend blind buying it. Samples are cheap online though, plus they'll usually have it in stores like Sephora! If you like cinnamon candy, give this one a shot!

This is a totally different version of Spicebomb that nobody talks about! This is a truly beautiful spicy and fresh leather beast that lasts more than 10 hours on my clothing. The projection and silage are incredible and just leaves an enteral cloud of spices in each and every room you leave. Overall this is a totally perfect fragrance that stands out from the normal crowd and also gives off a nice hint of sophisticated elegance. This is worth every penny since a few sprays will go a very long way! Just a fantastic pickup to add to your collection and one you will not be disappointed with. This gets a very big five out of five from me! Spicebomb out did itself on this release!

Spice bomb Infrared was probably the most interesting fragrance I’ve smelt this year. It’s a mixture of woody, fresh spicy-ness. But like actually spicy. It may have a chili note in there to be honest. In my opinion this is a very unique scent, not everyone could pull this off. But I really enjoyed it. Plus the performance was great for an edt. A good 6 hours on my skin after testing it. I suggest getting a sample before committing to a full bottle.

I am a big fan of the Spicebomb line and in particular, the original Spicebomb. This flanker takes that same DNA and modernizes it with a fruity and sweet twist that brings it up to date with current fragrances these days. I really enjoy this new flanker and can see this being mass appealing and attractive to younger audiences. I don’t see it listed in the notes but the red berries in this give me the vibe of cherries. The only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is because it doesn’t have the same magic that the OG spicebomb has. This is a solid choice for the fall/winter, I highly recommend if you like sweet spicy scents.

Amazing Scent That Doesn’t Last :(

Let me start off with the good:I chose this fragrance after smelling countless colognes in my lifetime and never really being keen on anything, as most of the time they all sort of start smelling the same. This one was different- it almost has this cinnamon - vanilla undertone that really is unique, seductive, and rich. I also have to commend Viktor & Rolf on their product design- it’s a beautiful bottle.Now the bad. I spent a fortune on this thing, and to put it bluntly: it doesn’t last. It almost is like a spray you just throw on to walk around the house in after you go to the washroom, because I swear the moment I leave my apartment the moment the scent completely disappears. There is VERY little projection, and if you want it to last all day or night be ... MoreLet me start off with the good:I chose this fragrance after smelling countless colognes in my lifetime and never really being keen on anything, as most of the time they all sort of start smelling the same.

There is VERY little projection, and if you want it to last all day or night be prepared to go through this thing twice as fast as any other cologne. I had to buy a travel sprayer just so I could actually smell like it at some point during the day. After the first 20ish minutes, you literally have to put your nose to the skin to smell the scent. It’s really sad because I saved up to buy this and had SUCH high hopes !! :(

Exceeded expectations but with wasted potential

The marketing campaign for this fragrance is totally wrong! The ad shows a guy in the sauna - almost naked because of the heat and yet he decided to spray Spicebomb Infrared which has notes of habanero red pimento? It does not make sense! If marketed to women as a sweet and spicy fragrance with berry and tobacco notes, it could be mistaken as an entry to Tom Ford’s Private Blend - but alas, the marketing cheapened a potentially unique creation.Top Note: Relatively subdued compared to the other entries in the Spicebomb line. Still too sweet for my taste but tastefully sweet.Middle: Fruit berries emerge with a companionship of tobacco accord. Not weedy tobacco but focused on the deep aspect of tobacco - wholesome - almost gourmandBase: Silky vanilla as opposed ... MoreThe marketing campaign for this fragrance is totally wrong!

I recently had a free sample of this and gave

I recently had a free sample of this and gave it a go...It is has undertones of the origional spicembomb but more intense, offering citcus notes enfused with burnt saffron and a sharp tinge of red pepper that grips the nostrels along side undertones of earthy tobacco, whilst projecting a gloopy creamy base scent that is quite sweet and effeminate at the same time, it reminds me a lot of a weaker diesel zero for men as it settles after 15 minutes or so, yet for some reason brings a visualisation green sour fizzy jenerik fruit, and spicey mince pies to mind. longativity is a little disappointing on this as it becomes quite faint by the end of the day, leaving a sweet sugary smell behind and reminiscence of the opening smell. This would be a nice sharp, fresh fragrence ... MoreI recently had a free sample of this and gave it a go...It is has undertones of the origional spicembomb but more intense, offering citcus notes enfused with burnt saffron and a sharp tinge of red pepper that grips the nostrels along side undertones of earthy tobacco, whilst projecting a gloopy creamy base scent that is quite sweet and effeminate at the same time, it reminds me a lot of a weaker diesel zero for men as it settles after 15 minutes or so, yet for some reason brings a visualisation green sour fizzy jenerik fruit, and spicey mince pies to mind. longativity is a little disappointing on this as it becomes quite faint by the end of the day, leaving a sweet sugary smell behind and reminiscence of the opening smell. This would be a nice sharp, fresh fragrence to wear on a summer evening however maybe best suited as a winter smell. For the price range on this fragrence there are better smells with better long term projection. If you like this one diesel zero is a much cheaper and stronger alternative with more logativity though its not quite as complex in the opening. Fans of spice bomb will most likely enjoy this fragrence as a sweater, warmer alternative the origionsl offering. I won't be rushing to buy this one but when it's on special at some point I'll consider it.

Mixed feelings

I have mixed feelings about this. The scent is somewhat fem. However it gets more masculine with time as it wears off. Initially the classic old lady smell punches through. Then moments later, a spicy cinnamon with slight tobacco. There's a certain cheapness about it be warned. However it is pleasant overall. I bought this blindly without sampling the smell first. Based on reviews globally it was in theory a safe bet. The quest continues for a non geriatric fem tobacco scent....

Spicy & Manly

My first impression opening this box was that the packaging is SO beautiful. The bottle feels thick and heavy in your hand. Everything from the unique shape to the dangling charm that stops it from spraying accidentally looks so luxurious and really stands out on a perfume/cologne shelf.The scent itself is the perfect spicy, manly scent I imagine when I think of cologne. It has notes of red pepper, leather, and tobacco that blend together perfectly. I gave this to my boyfriend and love the way it smells on him. When mixed with other sweeter colognes it combines for an unmatched sweet and spicy smell. This is also a scent that lasts all day. This is perfect for date night or even just an every day wear.Everything about this cologne is decadent and sexy and just ... MoreMy first impression opening this box was that the packaging is SO beautiful.
