Ok bro...my first Impressions.
Overall a very nice sent...the top was a big blast of spice for me...so spicebomb Is a good name. Also the sprayer is very good and offers above average coverage.
I was at first reminded of Burburry's London...that spice and tobacco Is very nice. I was also reminded of John varvatos by John varvatos(the original) with the dried fruit/ date and leather notes coming through.
These are some of my favorite notes so I had high hopes for Spicebomb...but alas. the party was over before It began...on my skin unfortunately.
I dont mind so much that It sits close to my skin...not all my fragrances need to be projection monsters...but the longivity sucks. In a little over two hours I could barely detect anything. It was like I had never had it on In the first place. To be fair Is was quite warm out...around 84 F. Maybe It would last longer and project a bit better In cooler weather. But I get the feeling that wont make a huge difference.
It has a very nice powdery vanilla drydown with some cinnamon In the background. I also get the Tom Ford's TV vibe. But It's over so quickly It's difficult to enjoy. I hope they come out with a EDP or parfum version. Now that could make a huge difference on how this fragrance plays out on my skin.
But It's certainly worth a try...some may get better results than I did. The type of skin can make a difference....dry vs oily....etc. I also feel that this is better suited for the cooler months. But thats just my opinion. Your mileage may vary
Im actually going to layer this with London today and see what happens.....stay tuned....more to come.
