Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Night Vision
This one's a proper Marmite scent - people either love it for its mass-appealing fruit and spice or absolutely slate it for being generic and underperforming. Don't expect a typical Spicebomb; this veers into sweeter, fresher territory, which is where the divisiveness kicks in.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Exploding Aroma
Exploding Aroma chases Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb - the original explosive spice bomb with a zesty citrus opening, pink-pepper-and-saffron heart and a tobacco-leather base. The dupe captures the punchy spicy character but renders flatter and softer-projecting than the bold original.

Its fresh, mass-appealing profile makes it suitable for casual and date settings, with many reviewers noting its versatility. However, its moderate sillage and often-criticised longevity, along with its youthful, vibrant character, make it less ideal for formal occasions or an intimate office environment.

Exploding Aroma
