SWY Spices is still recognizable as a member of its lineage, with the characteristic bourbon vanilla still playing a leading role. However, it's a darker, more smoky and dirty version of the DNA. Despite the name, I wouldn't call it spicier than the others. The pepper creates a sort of haze or veil that covers the others ingredients. There's also something slightly resinous in this composition, which isn't listed among the notes. It reminds me, vaguely, of Amouage's Epic Man, if it was massively more subdued and tame.
Compared to the other SWY flankers, Spices is less sweet and doesn't have any boozy elements.
It doesn't really leave a strong impression on me. It's maybe a bit more fit for a mature person than the other flankers in the line.
