Great Gentle Version in the Direction of Rehab

I'm a bit surprised that no one has submitted a review yet. This line has been so hyped since its launch, also due to this bottle with its iconic hand grenade design. I was really looking forward to this release as I enjoy releases and, in this case, flankers with clean and fluffy musk. I managed to get a sample and have already tested it extensively. Overall, this entire line is a safe bet when it comes to radiating a pleasing and seductive DNA. At the top is, of course, the extremely hyped "Spicebomb Extreme | Viktor & Rolf," but the other fragrances in this line also hold their own. This Metallic Musk is clearly a rather clean musk scent that leans slightly towards "Rehab | Initio." It's rather uninteresting if you already own that and don't want to expand your collection too much. For those who find the Initios too expensive, this offers a slightly toned-down version of these great clean DNAs. An extremely pleasing musk-clean note paired with this softened Spicebomb spice. Still quite pricey at the MSRP, but there will surely be good offers soon.

This hand grenade is available in 50 and 100ml. The 100ml is worth it, as this is quite suitable for everyday wear. This fragrance is wearable like Rehab throughout the entire year and for all occasions. This sweetness, clean musk, and mild spice are rarely out of place. Perhaps only during sports activities and in the heat of summer, as there are better options in this line even in the depths of winter.
Metallic Musk captures this direction quite well. The metallic aspect of this fragrance is only subtly present due to aldehydes, but it is noticeable. Much more prominent is this fluffy-creamy and slightly powdered musk note. Along with the spice and these clean notes, you get a relatively fresh composition. The Spicebomb DNA is perceivable in a milder way, yet it can still be identified as such. A clean and fresh lavender note is also present, enhancing this "white" touch. The spicy cinnamon note is not wintry, making it a spicy note that is almost wearable throughout the entire year. Towards the end, this musk base becomes stronger, giving off creamy-warm notes. Overall, a great sweet base that you can simply like. I perceive 0.0 leather in the base, just clean-sweet and uncomplicated. Musk, ambrette seeds, and a pleasant sweetness do their job well. Overall, a very harmonious creation that becomes softer over time.
The performance is noticeably weaker than, for example, the Initio or the significantly heavier fragrances in this line, but you can't really hold that against this flanker. It still impresses with a minimum of 6-7 hours of longevity and a pleasant projection bubble. Similar to Rehab, this is quite unisex and can also be worn by women without any problems.

In my eyes, this flanker is a success. A fragrance DNA that almost always works and simply provides this pleasant, sensually clean feeling. Nothing really new if you know Rehab. If not, and you have a budget, this fragrance is a great alternative.
