Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Mark & Victor Eau De Spice Eau de Parfum
This one's a dead ringer for Spicebomb, apparently so good it's 'practically the same'. If you're after that iconic warm, spicy tobacco vibe without breaking the bank, this clone delivers the goods. Performance views are a bit of a mixed bag, but most agree it's a stellar dupe.

Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb (2012) - bergamot, cinnamon and tobacco translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its warm spicy and tobacco accords lend themselves well to evening and cooler weather occasions. While some reviews mention moderate projection, the richness of the scent could be too much for a formal office setting but perfect for dates and evening casual wear.
