The review

On paper, Exploding Aroma For Men is an outside bet if you want Spicebomb for less.

Perfume Parlour 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.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $83 per 100ml.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 bergamot, grapefruit and elemi, turns to cinnamon, saffron and paprika, and settles into tobacco, leather and vetiver. That is the brief Exploding Aroma For Men is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • grapefruit
  • elemi

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • saffron
  • paprika

Base

  • tobacco
  • leather
  • vetiver
Chilli and cinnamon over tobacco leather, explosive and instantly recognisable.
