Mr Spicebomb Disappears
I still remember when I smelled the original Spicebomb just launched in the market. It was love at first sniff. A riot of spicy, smoky, and leathery notes, warm, deep, seductive, full of virile accords. I like to think of my Garam Masala when I wear it. Its successor Spicebomb Extreme has arrived to be even more addictive. It seems like a dream, too good to be true. I can't understand the motivation that drove V&R to create Night Vision. The third flanker of Viktor & Rolf's "Spicebomb" colognes is about 0% individuality, 100% Invictus sensation, a completely out of water fish in the vast world of fragrances. What a mess! I miserably do not get any hint of the original or extreme masterpiece. DNA testing would reveal that they are not related. It seems as Mr Spicebomb disappears.

Spicebomb Night Vision opens with a blast of freshness and sweetness, a greenish fruity-spicy mix of cardamom, zesty citrus fruit, and sour apple above all. All these ingredients are green as the colour of the grenade-like bottle. For a moment, I thought about a fresh cologne; the minty cardamom amplifies the green freshness in the opening. I can't help but recall "Invictus (Eau de Toilette) | Paco Rabanne" in my mind. On contact with my skin, it releases a disgusting, cloying sweetness that almost certainly satisfies the tastes of sweet bomb-loving teenagers. But I personally find it onoxiously sweet, exactly the opposite of my favorite genres.

The scent matures into the heart notes of sage, geranium, and lavender. All these herbaceous notes give the fragrance a fougère touch. I don't get too much of the hot black spices; chilli and pepper are subdued and pushed back. And so do the nutmeg and clove, too feeble to my nose. The spicy heart it is not at all similar to an exploding bomb, but rather similar to an insignificant puff. Instead, it is so damn aromatic, in a good way. Miserably, the sweetish accord is still there.

Finally, the fresh blast of sensations leaves a long-lasting trail of tonka, patchouli, and warm woods. The scent gains softness at the base and ends with the sweetness of grilled tonka beans, powdery and bitter nuts, further strengthened by woody, balmy, and dark notes. Clean patchouli mixes well with the sweet notes and is not intrusive. There is a tinge of musk, which gives off synthetic.

So, I strengthen my initial impression. Night Vision is a replica of "Invictus (Eau de Toilette) | Paco Rabanne", "Wanted | Azzaro", a crossbreed of those colognes, nothing disruptive here. And if I really took the time to think about it, I could name many more. Still, if you love any of the previous, you might also love this one. It has moderate sillage and longevity on the skin, acceptable for an evening and night scent. Indeed, it lasted much longer on the clothes, and I would say a few days. It suits the cold months of fall and winter. The cologne is good, yet I'm not a fan, and I doubt I will buy an entire bottle. I suggest not blind buy this one if you are fond of the original and not a lover of sugary things.

I base the review on a decant I have owned since 2020 (BC 62RD1A, PD 2018-12).

It may not be very original
But it’s definitely not as bad as people are saying... maybe they’re disappointed that it’s not similar to the rest of the spicebomb line, because it definitely isn’t even on the same planet as the extreme or the original.
If you don’t have any expectations of how it’s “supposed to” smell (because of the trademark grenade bottle), it really isn’t bad.

It has more of a Versace Eros (edt) or YSL Y (edp) feel. A very sweet scent. It’s not as sweet as Eros, but sweeter and softer than YSL Y. Lacking in originality, but it’s not a bad scent at all. A night time/ colder weather scent. The apple/vanilla resonates well, and gives about a 4ft projection radius. The sillage trail is definitely there. Your scent will still be there on the first floor after you’ve gotten off of the elevator (on the top floor). I’ve gotten about 6-8 hours from this, and women seem to enjoy it.

If you’re a Spicebomb fan, and prefer the spicy/cinnamon style vibe, you will be disappointed. If you don’t have those expectations, and you like scents along the lines of Ultra Male, Eros, Invictus, and Y Edp, check it out at Sephora or Dillard’s as a tester. You might enjoy it.

been there done that
I was so curious about this one it has awful reviews and is so poorly rated I can’t believe it deserves this much hate, I mean these guys brought us Spicebomb and Spicebomb Extreme! so I got a decant to find out for myself.

Presentation is top notch, the grenade bottle looks great with that black fading to green it’s so cool! The juice is good, it smells fine, nothing wrong with it. it’s just a ‘by the numbers’ frag in the neighborhood of Y EDP and the likes of it so it’s not bad at all, it’s actually quite nice it’s just so SO boring and effortless it’ll get lost in the crowd.

V&R can do better

Simple (and) good
I am a little surprised at the extremely mediocre ratings of this fragrance. Today I tested it with the turquoise market leader and bought it immediately. It may be that the scent is quite linear, it stays as it is, and that's a good thing. The combination of apple and tonka bean can be clearly smelled, and I like it very much. Of course this is a mainstream fragrance, but for me this is not a negative criterion. I rather have a problem with most of the so-called niche fragrances, especially with their need to get used to them and the sometimes completely inappropriate price-performance ratio

For the voluntary fire brigade
Since I like the Flowerbomb and also the Spicebomb Original very much, I gladly accepted the Night Vision test.

The martial flacon needs getting used to - but it depends on the content.

The spiced apple at the start appeals to me - but then it gets smoky.
In the beginning this smoky note is still interesting - but then it smells hot - coquey.
The almonds must have stayed too long on the rust?
Or did the woody notes catch fire?
Through this smoke plume I may discover some sweet things - but very smoky.

The husband can still remember the campfire during scout days.
After all.

Perhaps the right one for former scouts - or members of the voluntary fire brigade

Another boring synthetic/bubble gummy, fresh, slightly spicy scent with apple and a woodsy drydown. It doesn't have the DNA of the line.

Short-lived fresh green sweetness. Disappeared after a few hours. Not unpleasant, but I find no redeeming qualities here. Misguided flanker.

Alot of undeserved hate. Yes it dries down a la Invictus, but it’s way sweeter and lasts 7+h on my skin, I also love the opening. Solid frag.

The apple falls pretty far from the tree, but it's a great, fresh fragrance. Association with Spicebomb does it more harm than good, though.

Overkill of notes that don’t blend well and too synthetic, but damn, still has it’s charm. Doesn’t deserve the hate it gets in my opinion.

This fragrance actively resists my attempts to judge it. A flickering hologram of sweet apple soda. Not necessarily bad, but leans younger.

Actually nauseating apple, followed by Invictus/Y EDP amberwood synthetics. Stay away from this at all costs.
