The review

Worth a try. That is where Explosive Spice lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Spicebomb Extreme.

Scent Labz sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Spicebomb Extreme's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $40 it costs 74% less than Spicebomb Extreme.

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

What it is chasing: black pepper and lavender up top, cinnamon, cumin and saffron in the middle, tobacco and vanilla underneath — the shape of Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Extreme.

Top

  • black pepper
  • lavender

Heart

For the one who wants a bold, fiery blast of pepper, cumin and cinnamon melting into sweet tobacco and vanilla for cold-weather evenings.
