Inspired Oil Perfumes SpiceBomb is a perfume oil. SpiceBomb opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Paprika, Cinnamon, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Tobacco. Inspired Oil Perfumes's SpiceBomb carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Inspired By SpiceBomb keeps the saffron-cinnamon spice recognisable but the whole thing sits much closer to skin than Viktor & Rolf's original, which is built to detonate outward - here it reads as a warm spice skin scent rather than an explosion.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb is deliberately loud, its grenade-shaped bottle matching a fragrance engineered to project hard: bright pink pepper and grapefruit give way fast to a fiery saffron-cinnamon heart and a smoky tobacco-leather-vetiver base built for maximum reach. This oil gets the spice profile right in outline - saffron and cinnamon both come through, and the tobacco-leather base is present - but none of it has the original's throw. Without the alcohol carrier to help the top notes burst outward, the whole composition reads as a cosy, warm spice note close to the skin rather than the aggressive, room-filling scent the name promises. Pleasant for personal wear, but it loses the entire point of the original's persona.
