Our Verdict - Nuke
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 - Inspired by Spicebomb
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb (2012) - the Olivier Polge saffron-cinnamon-tobacco masculine that became Viktor & Rolf's defining masculine signature, here translated into a bergamot-grapefruit-pepper opening over saffron and cinnamon with a tobacco-leather close. Honest dupe-fidelity for cold-weather masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Seasons
Best For:
Spring
Winter
Also Works:
Summer
Autumn
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
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.
