Exploding Aroma

Name: Exploding Aroma Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Exploding Aroma is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Exploding Aroma opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Spicy, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Tobacco. Perfume Parlour's Exploding Aroma carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

About

Exploding Aroma opens bright and zesty with bergamot and grapefruit before the spice detonates: pink pepper, saffron and a chilli-like warmth that give Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb its name. The base settles into tobacco, vetiver and a touch of leather for a smoky-spicy finish. Perfume Parlour's version captures the energetic, masculine punch of the original - fresher and spicier than the sweeter Spicebomb Extreme. Against the real Spicebomb it reads simpler and skin-closer - the spice less fiery, the leather softer, and projection more modest where the original throws boldly. Longevity is moderate. A versatile, affordable spicy fragrance that works across cooler seasons and dresses up for evenings.
