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 - Cigar Black Wood
Seriously underrated for its price, Cigar Black Wood is a bold, complex and beastly performer. Dismiss claims of 'synthetic' at your peril, though: this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a divisive coconut-heavy opening.

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.

Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its impressive projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, where it might overwhelm. The warm, spicy, and sweet gourmand elements, alongside its 'noir' character make it perfect for dates and evening casual wear, although it can be a bit heavy for everyday activities.
