Spicebomb Infrared

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 for 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 fragrances. I'll forever praise it. The bottle is so fitting, it compliments the juice inside perfectly. As someone else has said below, this fragrance IS the color red. It's extremely underrated compared to Spicebomb Extreme. If you were debating whether to get Extreme or this, THIS ALL DAY ANY DAY. 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: 3, 4 MAX. This stuff is strong. It may not project a ton but smells potent. Overall: 9/10 😍

I just recently traded something else for this after testing it for a few months, and I absolutely love this stuff. I think there is something in the opening that I'm missing out on though (something I'm noseblind to), because I spray it on and for the first 5 minutes it's very weak, and then it gradually gets stronger thereafter. It starts off with red berries, though it's not nearly as prominent on me as others have mentioned (perhaps that is because of the aforementioned noseblind issue). You have to put your nose close to get the berry smell. This is very cinnamony-spicy. This is kind of weird, but after about an hour I actually start sweating similar to when you eat a spicy pepper. In the dry down it's all about the tobacco and a somewhat balsamic note which I assume is the benzoin note that's listed. I love that this doesn't seem to contain much coumarin/ vanilla, because vanilla tends to smell weird on me sometimes. This stuff lasts a pretty long time, I catch wafts of it 6-8 hours later and can sometimes smell it the next morning. I highly recommend this stuff. EDIT: After about a year from my previous review I do smell the opening now. I was pretty confused previously to see this listed as "fresh" as one of the accords. Not sure where the fresh is coming from, but I actually get that now. Fresh yet spicy.

I feel like an imposter for reviewing this as a female however once I tested this perfume as a part of a purchase and ever since I never forgot about it. I sadly can’t remember how it exactly smelled but it was almost like a Christmas morning to me somehow: warm and spicy, like I’m baking a cookie and I just opened the cinnamon jar. I also felt the tobacco but it wasn’t overwhelming. I can’t deny it leans on the masculine side, especially in the opening however I mostly loved the way it sat on my skin after a good half an hour passed, it was so similar to the scent I’ve been seeking for so long. It’s sexy and sensual but it’s also nostalgic and gentle somehow. It was kind of sweet but not so much and it was soft and ambery. It has a long longevity as I only sprayed once and very little yet it lasted for hours, I imagine it’d stay even longer on clothes. As it’s a smell I’m into, I’d love it very much if I smelled it on a man as well. I believe this can be unisex as well if you can work it and it suits your skin chemistry.

Had a sample of this. Absolutely love the scent. Starts out with a very similar smell to Big Red gum. Spicy cinnamon/red pepper on the opening but in a warm sweeter way. But the dry down on my skin changes the scent quite a bit. The red fruits really come into play and it turns it into a soft fruity spice. So imo, starts spicy and masculine but then almost turns unisex on the dry down. It's amazing. Performance is great. I got 9+ hrs fairly easy on skin before showering it off. I personally didn't think it was projecting much but after 2hrs of initially applying about 7 sprays, I came home and laid on the bed and my wife commented that all she could smell was Spicebomb in the room! Haha so that's impressive for sure. By the votes, it doesnt sound like that's everyone's experience. But for me, the sillage fills a regular size bedroom. Definitely moved up my list in the Spicebomb line to grab a full bottle of. Everyone loves OG and Extreme but Infrared is super underrated!

Got my bottle yesterday at Nordstrom Rack for $79.95 for a 5 oz bottle Batch # 22U01DW October 2021 was the manufacturing date. This is way different from the EDP Infrared. Longevity is really good for a EDT the sillage is really good and performance is really good too. I do 5 sprays usually for spray ons but this stuff 3 is enough. Over all very happy . This has the dna of the og but very different from og and the new edp the edp is smoother with the leather this has the tobacco that i like also so a win win. Blind buy worthy the price is awsome what can i say just 3 sprays good to go the new edp 5 sprays and smooth and good to go.Add spice to your life it will stand out from the rest of your collection Edt vs Edp are = in my book.★★★ Update October 28th The Edp smells more sweet than this and last just as long the edt this one last just a little longer and has beast mode. Remember edt for the summer edp and perfume for the winter.
