Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb
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 - 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.

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.
