The review

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

Scent Labz 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: eau de toilette — lighter than most originals.

At $40 it costs 56% 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 Scent Labz 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

What it is chasing: bergamot, grapefruit and elemi up top, cinnamon, saffron and paprika in the middle, tobacco, leather and vetiver underneath — the shape of Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb.

Top

  • bergamot
  • grapefruit
  • elemi

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • saffron
  • paprika

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.
