The review
Spicebomb scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Spicebomb.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Spicebomb's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 75% less than Spicebomb.
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 Palermo 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
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. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- grapefruit
- elemi
Heart

Base
- tobacco
- leather
- vetiver
Chilli and cinnamon over tobacco leather, explosive and instantly recognisable.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
