By the editors · 2 min readInfrared pushes the original Spicebomb into warmer, more syrupy territory. The opening flares with saffron's leathery bite and pink pepper's fizz, but within minutes the cinnamon takes over—not the delicate tea-shop kind, but thick, resinous, almost medicinal. It dominates the heart completely, coating everything in its wake.
The base tries to soften the intensity with benzoin's vanilla-tinged sweetness and a suggestion of dried tobacco leaf, but the cinnamon never fully retreats. This is a loud, deliberate fragrance that announces itself from across a room.
It works best in cold weather and on people who want to be noticed. Not subtle, not complex, but unapologetically itself—a concentrated blast of red spice and warmth that either suits your style or doesn't. For those who found the original too restrained, this delivers exactly what the name promises.
