Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Dark Leather was launched in 2024, created by Jean-Christophe Herault and Carlos Benaim - a version focused on leather. Notes of nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, frankincense, black leather and tobacco.
From the brand - "Spicebomb Dark Leather by Viktor&Rolf is described as an enigmatic fragrance made for the modern man. It intertwines dark leather with a rich blend of smoky woods and warm spices, creating a scent that exudes complexity and sophistication. With notes of spicy black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon contrasting against smoky incense, it evokes a nuanced sensuality. The base notes of dark leather and tobacco accord leave a lasting, mysterious intensity."
Fragrantica - "This is the BEST SMELLING version of Spicebomb and it's not even close. This takes the DNA in a new direction which is super smooth and perfectly balances spice, sweetness, resins and the 'leather' note which is actually very soft and not overdone at all. I feel there will be significant letdown over the softness as this is rather quiet and not as performant as the OG or Extreme versions. As someone who never loved either of those and found certain aspects of the DNA slightly cloying (ie too much spice or sweetness up front) this is perfect. But as for being the most refined, best smelling version of Spicebomb this is it. Unsurprisingly the nose behind this flanker is none other than Jean-Christophe Hérault, big thumbs up!"
Fragrantica - "First impressions definitely have some MIB comparisons but with the OG spicebomb DNA in the background. It's like a hybrid of both of these fragrances. Lasts longer than the Bvlgari which was the main downside to that fragrance. About 8 hours on skin but this a brand new bottle so could get better. Projects strong for the first hour and half"
