    I’ve had a bottle of Spicebomb since it first came out 10-12 years ago. I’m on my third bottle. I don’t think that performance has changed much over the years. It’s a great scent that still smells somewhat unique, even after a decade. Not near as sweet as most spicy fragrances today.

    Hey Aaron, superb review as always!
    Have you considered reviewing sboy by draco? Its a parfume by the Brand of the rapper soulja boy and has generated a lot of social media hype. Its trying really hard to sell itself as a luxurious niche parfume.
    Its incredibly expensive tho and I‘d love to see a critical review of yours where you talk about the price and if it is justified in any way, just like you did with the Jeremy Fragrance scent Office for men. I loved the pure honesty ❤

  • @Memmaao

    Nearly everybody hyping the extreme. For me, that's a vanilla heavy scent with way too much cumin in it. On my skin, that one works bad. The OG is another coffeeshop! It's a beautiful scent! One of my favorite from Olivier Polge.

    I was at the laundromat with my headphones on doing my laundry the other day, a woman tapped on my shoulder to tell me “Oh My God! you smell yummy!” I haven’t smelled the original but I was wearing Spice Bomb Extreme. I’ve gotten more compliments wearing that one than anything else. I’ve gotten the “yummy” compliment only from SBE even walking past women outdoors. It’s also the only one out of 30 or so fragrances that I’m well into my second bottle of. Banger for sure! 👍👍

    I know it’s called Spicebomb but whenever I smell it, it smells more floral than spiced. Both versions, the EDT and VR. Maybe me nose is broken 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Spicebomb was created by Olivier Polge, son of Jacques Polge who created Égoïste. Is like a younger version of it.

    Fun fact, if you buy their stuff they give you a card to scan. I initially thought oh here we go I'm going to be bombarded with crap for 12 months but they sent me a branded wash bag. Not that I needed one but still. They say they send you stuff if you buy further fragrances from them. Has anyone had stuff sent from them? Apparently they also send you stuff on your birthday too.

      Omg I’ve always trashed it😮. I never scan that stuff and now I feel dumb. I had no idea I could free stuff! Now I might get a new bottle of SBE just cause!

    This is the best Spicebomb and the only one made by Olivier Polge.
