Which Should You Buy?
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.

Our Verdict - Istanbul
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.
