Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Metallic Musk Eau de Parfum
This one's a smooth operator, toning down the original Spicebomb's fire for a more versatile, musky freshness that somehow still screams 'Spicebomb!'. It's divisive - some sniff 'old-lady' or 'medicinal shampoo', but plenty are calling it their new signature. Prepare for a clean, peppery, aldehydic ride.

Our Verdict - The Secret Eau de Parfum
A universally agreeable, mass-appealing scent, The Secret delivers a softer, more wearable take on the 1 Million DNA. It's a reliable cheapie that won't blow anyone's socks off but earns solid respect for its price.
