The review
Spice Explosion scores 4.3 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Spicebomb Extreme.
Scentual Obsessions 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 $133 per 100ml it costs 23% less than Spicebomb Extreme — the 6th cheapest of 6 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 Scentual Obsessions 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 Extreme is black pepper and lavender at first, cinnamon, cumin and saffron at its heart and tobacco and vanilla at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
