Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Eau de Toilette
A warm, spicy explosion that's a crowd-pleaser for a reason. While its many flankers might vex some, the original Spicebomb is a reliably potent, compliment-getting winter warmer that'll stand strong in any smoky bar.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The Secret Eau de Parfum
A universally agreeable, mass-appealing scent, The Secret delivers a softer, more wearable take on the 1 Million DNA. It's a reliable cheapie that won't blow anyone's socks off but earns solid respect for its price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and warm, spicy accords make it less suitable for the office. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and evening casual wear, as its seductive nature is often noted by wearers for bars and intimate settings. It leans too casual for formal events and is entirely unsuitable for sport.

The Secret Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive nature make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, though some find it too intimate for grand gestures. It's often recommended for 'date night' due to its warm, seductive accords, but its price point makes it an ideal everyday reach.
