Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Eau de Toilette 50ml is a confident, spicy-leather fragrance for men, launched in 2012 and signed by master perfumer Olivier Polge. A sparkling opening of pink pepper, elemi, bergamot and grapefruit leads into a smouldering heart of cinnamon, saffron and paprika, before settling into a deep, sensual base of tobacco, leather and vetiver — presented in the line's instantly recognisable grenade-shaped flacon.

About Viktor & Rolf

Viktor & Rolf is a Dutch luxury fashion house founded in 1993 by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, and best known for its conceptual, theatrical haute couture. The Spicebomb fragrance line, produced under licence by L'Oréal, launched in 2012 as the masculine counterpart to the brand's iconic 2005 Flowerbomb — taking the same explosive flacon concept and reimagining it for men with a bold spicy-leather DNA.

Who it's for

Spicebomb suits men looking for a confident, slightly daring evening signature with strong projection and a smoky, leathery drydown. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for date-night, dinner and party contexts, and pairs naturally with smart-casual or leather-jacket dressing. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme will recognise the territory.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Spicebomb is potent: two sprays usually balance well; the leather-and-tobacco drydown develops on warm skin and rewards a moderate, considered hand.
