Which Should You Buy?
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.
Recreates Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb's explosive cinnamon-tobacco fougere with a leaner, less resinous build that keeps the spice-bomb concept but loses some of the original's depth.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A spicy, warm fougère best suited to autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
Bold enough for dates and casual nights out, with enough polish to pass in the office.
