It smells like Spicebomb, but slightly different.
Personal: 7.5/10 – It’s definitely good, but there’s a sharpness on the fresh spice that Spicebomb doesn’t have that makes me like Spicebomb a bit more, since I gravitate towards warm spices over fresh spices.
Mass appeal: 8.5/10 – It’s honestly really nice for Christmas time, or cold winter. It feels cozy, and others will appreciate it.
Performance: 7/10 – Pretty average, but not poor.
Value: 6.5/10 – It’s hard to find, but I saw a full size going for $125, so definitely more expensive than some of its winter competition. If you love it, it’s not unattainable.
Uniqueness: 6/10 – Close enough to Spicebomb that it risks redundancy.
SCORE: 71/100
Full bottle buy? NO, I don’t find it unique enough to warrant a full bottle.
Blind buy? YES, it’s fairly safe, though it does have that spicy DNA that some may not love.
Recommend? YES, if it wouldn’t be redundant in your collection.
Date night? YES, especially in the colder months, it gives warm, cozy vibes.
Office safe? YES, but apply lightly—spicy sharpness can be a bit much.
Pros: A cozy, spicy, pleasant Christmas/winter fragrance that makes you feel good. Not hideously pricey and fairly mass appealing.
Cons: Difficult to find, and not unique enough to warrant owning this on top of Spicebomb, Spicebomb Extreme, or other spicy winter fragrances.
For my seventh review, we’ll take a look at something that, despite what I expected, smells just like Spicebomb. It’s sweet, fragrant, and Christmassy. I like it a lot, though it’s a bit sharp on opening. As compared to the original Spicebomb, this one is a bit more woods forward as opposed to spiciness forward, at least to my nose. It lacks some of the freshness the original Spicebomb exhibits, but also maintains a bit more of a sharpness to its fresh spicy side that’s more rounded out in Spicebomb.
It’s not bad at all, but if you own Spicebomb or other cozy winter fragrances, I think it may be a bit redundant.
Hard to find, but gives a slightly different take on the wintery spice sector. Some may love it, but I definitely don’t need it.
Review #7 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant
