Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Eau de Toilette
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.

Our Verdict - Tobacco Mandarin Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Tobacco Mandarin isn't playing subtle, it's a bold, spicy, divisive beast with a penchant for staining clothes. You'll either adore its mysterious, opulent depth or recoil from its notorious cumin note - there's no middle ground here, mate.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb Eau de Toilette

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.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and significant longevity, this scent is far too potent for an office environment, potentially overwhelming those around you. However, its dark, sensual, and luxurious character makes it an excellent choice for dates and formal evening events, where its intensity can truly shine.
