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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate performance makes it acceptable for office wear, though its distinct warm, spicy character is much better suited for evening dates and casual winter outings. It's a bit too heavy for formal events and definitely not for sport.

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.

About

Spicebomb Infrared opens with a vibrant, almost boozy blast of red fruits, underscored by the sharp zing of pink pepper and a hint of exotic saffron. As it settles, a comforting warmth emerges, driven by a hearty dose of cinnamon and more red pepper, evoking a distinct Christmassy feel. The dry-down reveals a smooth, alluring base of tobacco and benzoin, adding a sophisticated, slightly smoky depth to the fruity spice.
