Spicebomb with leather
This perfume features leather and cardamom, a combination which I find very objectionable. However, in this fragrance the amount of cardamom is about tolerable, unlike in CH Men Prive or Cerruti 1881 Signature. If not for the pepper it would be similar to CH Men (the base version, not Prive). As regards the alleged similarity to Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb or Bvlgari Man in Black, it's somewhat similar, but not really, mainly due to the lack of leather in these scents. Actually, if you added [a discernible amount of] leather to Spicebomb, it would be very similar. Fan is peppery, woody, and citrus-fresh, a very nice and comforting mix, not too sour, but maybe a little bit too spicy and too peppery. If they took out cardamom and some pepper, it would be super good.
