Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Nuke Eau de Parfum
This is a loud and proud clone of Spicebomb, offering the same explosive spicy-sweet character with even more bang for your buck. If you love that DNA and want it to last until next Tuesday, Nuke is your weapon of choice.
Statement
Our Verdict - Spicebomb Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Viktor&Rolf's Spicebomb (2012) - Olivier Polge's pepper-cinnamon-tobacco grenade-bottle masculine, here translated into a budget reading with the pepper-cinnamon-tobacco-leather spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear in cooler weather.

Casual
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too assertive for office wear, but perfect for dates or nights out where you want to make an impression. The warm spicy and leather accords lean it away from formal events, but it's great for casual evening wear, especially in colder weather.
