The review

Spicebomb scores 5.7 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Spicebomb.

Copycat Fragrances lists 3 of the 11 notes in Spicebomb's pyramid — pink pepper, cinnamon and saffron. What it does not list: bergamot, grapefruit, elemi and chili.

At $29 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Spicebomb — the 2nd cheapest of 13 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Copycat Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb is bergamot, grapefruit and elemi at first, cinnamon, saffron and paprika at its heart and tobacco, leather and vetiver at the end. Copycat Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
