Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb EDT
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 - VR25 - Spicebomb EDP
Reproduces Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb's pink pepper and cinnamon explosion reasonably well, though the tobacco-leather base is a lot quieter than the original's smoky, assertive drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Bold and assertive, best for casual outings and evening dates rather than the office.
