Spicebomb Night Vision Eau de Toilette

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Night Vision Men EDT opens with a strong projection of very sweet, green mandarin, green apple, and spicy notes. The opening is delicious, sharp, the notes are well defined, and it feels very pleasant. The tonka bean is a base note, but its intense sweetness comes up as soon as the fragrance is applied, it makes the fragrance feel delectable. This sweetness is counterbalanced by the very sharp, citrus, and intense notes of the green mandarin which in this fragrance evocative of combined lime and sweet orange; similarly, the granny smith apple, is a very sharp, sour and intense note. The combination of these initial notes is well done. The spices take a brief moment to come up but they do, they are not as strong as the fruits or tonka but are noticeable. A piquant touch from the red chili pepper leads the way, along with the pepper and other spices that sharpen the fragrance. The sage adds a minty-like accord that supplements well the fruity notes; the cardamom is also noticeable, sweet, minty, spicy, and bitter. The almonds and woody notes are support notes, just something back there for consistency, they make the fragrance slightly dense. The fragrance is relatively linear, other than the spicy notes, all featured notes come up as soon as the fragrance is applied; the spices don’t take long. As the fragrance reaches its dry-down, the initial strong projection takes a small step down to moderate to strong. Once Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Night Vision Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, very sweet, green mandarin, green apple, and spicy (chili pepper, sage, cardamom) fragrance with some almond and woody notes. The fragrance feels casual, delectable, delicious, fresh, fruity, intense, inviting, masculine, modern, nicely-blended, pure, rich, sweet, unique, warm, and very pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020.

Aloha fragrance lovers! TLDR; fresh spicy sweet, unique, decent performance, not safe blind buy, apple, pear, woody, Tonka bean notes. This is an instant Spicebomb classic. I first smelt this scent from my Cousin who is a scientologist. At first he gatekept it from me, so I had to go to more drastic measures to acquire it (Don't Ask me what). This fragrance is something truly remarkable and unique, and definitely has a different Scent profile compared to the rest of the Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb line. Although it isn't particularly offensive I wouldn't say this should be used as an everyday scent due to its strong Tonka Bean and woody notes which could offend some people. The freshness and spiciness in this fragrance is radical! To allude to my personal experiences, the spiciness in it reminds me of when I would mouth off, my mother would make me eat Carolina reaper peppers that she got wholesale from my Uncle Gerard who worked on a farm that grew them. The freshness in it reminds me of the day I lost my virginity, come on guys we all know that feeling. From open to close this fragrance goes through a parabolic path with the concave being downwards. The opening was fierce and robust and smelt like a green apple, pear and alcohol combined. The dry down doesn't take long and you start to smell more sweetness to it, as well as some woodiness and even a hint of fresh sage. This fragrance is impeccable throughout its journey from opening to dry down and my nose was left stimulated throughout. Towards the end, my nose detected some notes of clove and geranium which was exciting due to these being more uncommon nowadays. I wouldn't say this cologne is a safe blind buy due to its difference from the other spice bomb's and uniqueness around this scent. The silage in this perfume is great, I measured it with my Kid and it's around 65 CM for you Imperial Measurement Folk, and 25.591 inches for the Americans. The performance on this cologne is really impressive, at night I went for a siesta and I could still smell it without going close to the area I applied it to (again don't ask). I calculated it out and this scent lasts on average 380 - 420 minutes with 10-12 sprays. Comparing this scent to the other spice bombs, this DNA has much better performance as a result of the strong Tonka bean infusion deep within it and the silage is comparable to Viktor&Rolf's SpiceBomb Infrared which I smelt at Macy's. If somebody asked me to compare this scent to an outdoor setting, I would have to say that I am reminded of a moderately warm evening of about 293.15K in the 4th week of April as dawn settles over the horizon into dusk. Enough Chit-chat, I've covered the basics of this cologne and if you want to read a more in-depth review you can read it on my blog as well as my other in-depth reviews. Now time for the ratings: Overall Scent: 12/10 - this DNA breaks the scale I don't care about mathematical accuracy - from opening to closing I loved it and find most will as well if they have as keen of a nose as me Performance: 9.1/10 - I only had to do around 12 sprays to get over 435 minutes of longevity which is really good - if it was any more I would have had the performance as perfect Sillage: 8.7/10 - 65 cm scent trail - left nice linger when I tested with my kid Blind Buy Value: 6.2/10 - Only blind buy this if you are confident in your taste as a fragrance fanatic, or if you are confident in my nose's ability to perceive odors - Other than that this scent is unique and I say its best you smell it first at your local department store or fragrance shop Final Verdict: This scent is unique, delightful, and masculine. Smell first at your department store and if it meets your fragrance needs buy it. Salutations Fragrance flock, I hope I could be at assistance.

#78 of My Fragrance Journey - Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Night Vision EDT: Pull the Pin. See What Survives the Light. It doesn’t smell like the original. Not really. And I think that’s intentional. The first Spicebomb was heat. Weight. Cinnamon and tobacco and gravity. It sat on you like armour. Night Vision doesn’t do that. It moves. Faster. Brighter. Like stepping into green light before your eyes adjust. First spray - sharp. Cleaner than I expected. Almost acidic. Green apple, immediately. Granny Smith. Crisp in that mouth-watering way, slightly sour, almost electric. It doesn’t smell sweet so much as alive. There’s green mandarin tangled into it. Grapefruit too, I think. Citrus, but not sunny citrus. Cooler. Sharper. Like neon reflected on glass. It wakes you up. For a second, it feels playful. Careless, even. Then something underneath pulls it back into focus. Cardamom. Quiet, but important. Not loud spice. More like tension. A low hum under the fruit. It stops the freshness from floating away. Gives it a spine. Around twenty minutes in, it pivots. Geranium comes forward. That clean, slightly metallic floral edge. Masculine in that modern way - not aggressive, just composed. Pepper sits underneath it. Dry. Controlled. Sage too. Aromatic. Almost dusty. There’s even a faint chilli-like prickle in the background. Something that keeps shifting between cool and warm. This is the part where it becomes familiar. Comfortable. It has that shower-fresh DNA, yeah. But it doesn’t feel cheap. Or empty. Just... easy. Easy in a way that makes sense. On warm skin - after movement, after existing in your body a bit - it feels better. Less like a product. More like a continuation of you. The drydown is softer. Quieter. Tonka bean starts doing most of the work. Creamy. Woody. Slightly sweet. The sharp green opening is gone by now. What’s left is warmth. Controlled warmth. Close to the skin. I kept looking for the roasted almond note they mention. Honestly... I don’t really find it. Maybe it’s buried. Maybe it’s just creating texture rather than announcing itself. Either way, the tonka carries it. It stops projecting. Starts existing. Performance is solid, but not dramatic. Two hours where it really radiates. After that, it settles in. Stays close. You’ll smell it. Someone close to you will smell it. The room won’t. And that feels right for this kind of scent. Because this isn’t trying to challenge anyone. It’s not trying to reinvent fragrance. It’s trying to be worn. Lived in. Reached for without thinking. And it succeeds. This is what I’d call a dumb reach - and I mean that with respect. Gym. Office. Evening walk. Spring. Summer. First dates. Second dates. Situations where you want to smell good without explaining yourself. It won’t confuse people. It won’t polarise anyone. It’ll just work. And sometimes, honestly, that’s more useful than brilliance. Vibe: electric green light fading into skin-warm woods Longevity: moderate - strong early, then intimate and steady Best for: daily wear, gym, warmer weather, moments where effort should feel invisible The truth: Not revolutionary. Not trying to be. Just clean, confident, and quietly effective. More scent stories and visuals on Instagram - @lavendercloudsjd

I absolutely love this frag on my fiance! When he sprays this My head instantly snaps and I ask "what IS THAT?!" even tho I already know b/c its the only frag I do that with for some reason. The opening is just SO sexy to me! Off the bat I smell the Apple, Grapefruit, with some cardamon & nutmeg. Then a few mins later I get Sage, cardamon, Clove, Geranium & some red chilli pepper. Dry down I mostly picked up Tonka, woody notes, geranium & pepper. I smell it on him for about 6/8hrs and it projects nicely imo, as someone other than the wearer. I can smell it on him from about 3 feet away for the first 2hrs or so, and 1 foot for another 2, and the last 2/4hrs is closer to the skin & can smell while hugging. For the the price & the fact it's an EDT I find it's projection and longevity very acceptable! He had never worn the OG spicebomb when he received this flanker, so he had no expectations out of this frag, except to be good & last a decent amount of time. And it delivered on both. I find the sweet, woody, semi citrus, sweet pepper thing it has going on super sexy, super comforting, & super mass appealing. While it may not be super different or unique, if you have a trained nose you can def smell the differences it has to Eros, Y & invictius. And these differences push this flanker above the aforementioned. Just don't compare it too much to the original SB, And take into consideration that this is an EDT, and I think many could easily enjoy this frag. I rate this a 7.5/10. Very good, nd worth having imo.

This fragrance is why you have to try things for yourself instead of taking the YouTube reviewers opinions. If you listen to them this fragrance is trash and you shouldn’t waste your time. Wrong it’s not trash. It’s not niche snob-head or nothing like that. But it smells very good and will get women’s attention plus you will like the way it smells on you yourself. Yes it’s way different from the other spicebombs a but who said it had to be the same or similar. It’s not bad because it goes a different direction than what people wanted or expected. Me personally I don’t like flankers that smell the same as the original unless the original had performance issues. Spicebomb had no such issues. I love it and will be purchasing a full bottle once the summer cools down in late October. Summer in Texas is maybe a month away from kicking off so I will just wear my sample out. The scent is sweet very sweet but it does have character it has spices but they are smooth spices and not spicy spices if that makes sense. And the smooth spice blends well and sits behind that ultra sweetness giving it a sort of perfect contrast for such a mass appealing fragrance. It’s kind of linear but it does change slightly. I was surprised I liked it so much because all I ever heard about it was hate I was expecting it to be bad. I’m glad I gave it a fair shake
