The review

On paper, Warm Spicy is a strong bet if you want Ébène Fumé for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ébène Fumé's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $64 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Ébène Fumé — the cheapest of 5 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 HK Perfumes 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

The original opens on black pepper, olibanum and laurel, turns to ebony, oud and benzoin, and settles into incense, sandalwood and patchouli. That is the brief Warm Spicy is working from.

Top

  • black pepper
  • olibanum
  • laurel

Heart

  • ebony
  • oud
  • benzoin

Base

  • incense
  • sandalwood
  • patchouli
Dry ebony and incense laced with pepper and resins; smoky, sophisticated and understatedly luxe.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
