Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Extreme Eau de Parfum

A legendary cold-weather powerhouse, Spicebomb Extreme is a sweet, spicy, and tobacco-rich statement scent that commands attention and seduces with its velvety warmth. Not for the shy or for summer days.

Our Verdict - Man X Eau de Parfum

A divisive coffee-gourmand cheapie that polarises opinions. Some find it a 'wow' scent, others a synthetic mess. It's affordable, but you might need to macerate it for weeks to reveal its true character. The coffee note is distinct, though sometimes maligned as 'burnt' or 'stale'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb Extreme Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Spicebomb Extreme is intensely warm, spicy, and sweet, making it ideal for cold weather and fall-winter wear. The heavy tobacco, vanilla, and amber make it too dense for most summer climates, but it can work in early spring on chilly days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Its massive projection and sweet, spicy character make it best for nights out or romantic occasions, where boldness is desired. It is too loud and rich for office or athletic settings, but can be a statement in formal or casual evening events.

Man X Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

The warm spicy, coffee, and amber accords make this scent best suited for cooler weather and evening wear. While some reviews suggest it could work for the office, its character is more geared towards casual outings and dates, with minimal suitability for formal events or sport.
