How does it smell? Imagine the parquet floor of a completely wooden concert hall being polished with a mild sweet balsamic resinous aromatic beeswax, the orchestra with its numerous wooden instruments is already in its places. In your imagination, the string players are rubbing their bows on the horsehair with myrrh resin. Occasionally, memories of church visits with incense sneak up on you. Your neighbors are wearing perfumes with a lot of vanilla and Tom Ford - Beau de Jour. In your bag, you have butter cookies for later, their golden crusts and the vanillin lightly fragrant as you put away your ticket. The music tells of heavy-sweet romances on a huge thick sheepskin. For months, the scent of vanillin weighs on the mind.

I perceive a rather dark aura, old-fashioned style, peppery, slight tobacco effect/association, a hint of magnolia/immortelle/muscat sage freshness, iris colored-floral (appears pink) and synthetic?, slightly saffron-like dry nuances, iris very similar to that of Str8 Ahead, "cool-hearted" elements of Lungomare (Mega-Mare similarity), reminds me of Black Agent without sweetness, of Quorum Silver without herbs and is overall somewhat strict and mature in character/image: cigar smoking, modesty.

Strictly smelling of "Gasoline," Portrayal Man after 15 minutes is still a beautiful and sometimes pleasantly wearable relative of Fahrenheit. Moreover, this violet mix is nestled here in an old-fashioned classic cloud cushion, as I know it from Old Spice, skin creams like "Nivea," as well as the perfume Private Black by Saint Hilaire or aldehyde perfumes. I once had a fragrance oil from the NanuNana gift shop that was labeled Opium (referring to the poppy plant), and it smelled similarly creamy.
It's nice when a perfume gets by without frills like sweet citrus fruits or vanilla.

Smells good.
Especially leathery.
This leatheriness reminds me of tape smell as well as Cuir Eternel, Forever, Irish Leather, and Godolphin (by the way, NOT Layton XF, if you ask ME). Godolphin even has that combination of sweet and sour. Vert Gothique starts with a synthetic citrus accompaniment that persists into the heart phase, where the sourness gradually gives way to sweetness. The sweetness is not heavy or overwhelming, but feels airy and light. This fruity accompaniment also has something of a mix between Aventus and Bottled dupes. However, it fades within half an hour to a modestly arranged residue, so the overall scent concludes in a distinctly leathery unity.
The perfume is definitely a keeper.

One must enjoy a cola-like spicy scent for the use of this perfume. Category winter-season fragrance with cinnamon but also an intense sweetness typical of southern/eastern sweets. This can lead to the impression that Spicebomb wants to synthetically imitate sweet cherries similar to Naxos or otherwise penetrate with fruity sweetness like Born in Roma Coral or Heroic (LaRive). However, this sweetness - compared to typical sweet perfumes - as well as the ones mentioned - is relatively moderate and initially stands in a good cooperative relationship with the spiciness of Spicebomb. A very helpful perfume if you want to alternate/balance or overshadow the scents of your surroundings that you are tired of with a reliably enduring and distinctive fragrance.
Additionally, the start when spraying/applying is enchanting and impressively paprika- or chili-like, which I especially love. But I believe many other noses appreciate this as well.
