Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Infrared EDP
A truly polarising beast, Spicebomb Infrared is either a groundbreaking spicy-sweet sensation or an 'over-spiced fried chicken' catastrophe. If you like your scent bold, spicy, and unforgettable, this could be your new obsession - but definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Opus VII Reckless Leather EDP
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it punch to the senses. This one's an acquired taste, divisive as they come, and unapologetically bold. If you can handle the intensity, you're in for a complex, masterful journey.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb Infrared

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, spicy sillage, often described as 'beast mode' and 'head-turner,' makes it too intense for the office. However, its 'sexy and sensual' profile, warm accords, and many community mentions for date nights push it high for evening wear, including formal events where a bold statement is desired.

Opus VII Reckless Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

With its powerful projection and challenging, heavy spice and animalic accords, this is utterly unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal evening occasions or intimate date nights where its luxurious and bold nature can shine without overwhelming.
