It is and that's why I watch very few anymore. These days I scroll right on past. If I think it's probably just a payed ad. I'm trying to learn about and discover fragrances. Not just be pushed to buy the newest thing.
Super and sincere review! I have not tried this flanker, but I have a decant of the og, and I wear it with pleasure myself. I find it cozy and very pretty. It is marketed as extra masculine, but for me 100% unisex. :)
Spice bomb got a spot in my collection. im actually wearing the original vintage formula today. Extreme is another favorite of mine. Thanks for the review. Good day Marc
The only place Viktor & Rolf go bold with these fragrances is the naming. Usually the bolder the name, softer and tamer the fragrance is, its how it goes with them.
The last one with interesting note of leather was Issey Nuit Parfum ( 2015 ) S.T Dupont Passenger have great leather finish. Mostly , the leather accord is obtain by Guaiacum officinale wood and Vetiver. SB Extreme smells like cordite to me,,
Happy New Year! Great review as always! It’s a real shame they discontinued the Fresh flanker. I’ve tried a couple of samples, and thoroughly enjoyed that twist on the DNA. I’ve actually been sampling several leather-based scents recently, but I’ve yet to try Dark Leather. One of the more interesting leather fragrances I’ve tried is Kajal IV. I know, they give out free bottles, but I don’t believe this was one of them. Reviews on UA-cam are pretty scarce. Kajal IV vividly paints a picture of brown leather to my nose (I cannot emphasize this aspect enough). I’d love to see a video of your thoughts on it sometime!
Happy New Year my friend! I don't think the Fresh flanker sold well to be honest which is shame as it's excellent. I'll add Kajal to the samplin' purchase list, thank you so much for the suggestion!
I like Spicebomb Extreme and Infrared. I only own Infrared though because Extreme is close to Bvlgari Man in Black and chose the Bvlgari. I’ve been thinking about sampling the new flanker.
Cheers Marc, I do enjoy the OG, this may be a good try for sure , that said probably better to stick with the OG if it not watered down yet as my bottle is 5 years old and well aired in the half empty bottle, much appreciated sir 🤛💪🙏
Happy owner of the original and Fresh here. This one is on top of my to try list, hoping for some darkness from if, if it’s too friendly I likely pass on it too.
Iff there is a spicebomb...i buy it👊 Iff there is a perfume that smells like SB i buy it!!! Why? Cause it was my signature scent for menny menny years, im so deep in the Nostalgia i cant be fair reviewing it
I was sampling a bunch of fragrances at the store last month and this one stood out. I went home and everyone online said the performance was bad. So now i lost interest. Too expensive is it doesn't last.
If it stood out for you... that's all that matters!! Who cares what the talking heads say, you know 99% of them parrot each other, they copy paste what fragrantica says, they copy each other. If you enjoy the scent, that's all that matters. Personally I'd like you to give it another chance.
Hey Mark, hope you review Montale Aoud Cuir D’Arabie one day :) Montale sucks but that fragrance rocks Edit: I know you like that fragrance but not sure if you’ve reviewed it
The original Spicebomb was ok, not bottle worthy for me. None of the flankers have impressed me at all. Spicebomb Dark Leather is the worst of thee bunch. Antidote was a great release from V&R, it's a shame everything else they have put out is mediocre.
Yay!!! I have been following from 2009, we even had a competition to find new reviewers. You were the most prolific buyer of perfumes among us. :)
Thanks for your honest review .. in these days it’s hard to find honest frag reviewer bunch of liars

@ true that
Appreciate that! My mission is to keep it real, there's not many out there like this anymore.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thanks, you'll be happy you did!
Good one, Marc!

Good day my friend, enjoy it good health my friend.

Always with pure honesty. I was disappointed with this one personally. Love my SB extreme
Lots of people love the Extreme version, you are not alone on that one.

I'm pretty sure we get Spicebomb Dark Leather Parfum or Elixir this year. They always release them in pairs. ❤❤👏👏
I'm silently hoping for one tbh, just give me a more robust leather and a little smoke from incense and we are good to go.
Respect!
Do 2 sprays of Tuscan Leather with 4 or 5 sprays of this
good suggestion for people that like to layer.
Havent tried one spicebomb yet 😂😂😂 but nice and honest review!
Tacky presentation but the regular EDT and Extreme are really solid fragrances. Definitely worth spraying on the wrist next time you see it in stores
Honestly a solid line, there's much worst in the designer game but also a littel forgettable if they left the market it would not be really missed.
Cheers Marc, I do enjoy the OG, this may be a good try for sure , that said probably better to stick with the OG if it not watered down yet as my bottle is 5 years old and well aired in the half empty bottle, much appreciated sir 🤛💪🙏
I'm sure the current version would be a bit different than my OG bottle of SB. Much love Bren!
Happy owner of the original and Fresh here. This one is on top of my to try list, hoping for some darkness from if, if it’s too friendly I likely pass on it too.
Yea, she's pretty friendly lol
Love it.
Nice to see that!
Super busy but I am here, I don't expect much from designers 😂😂 , but you never know i might like it 😂😂
You're here, that's all I can ask for.
Spot on.
Though I did blind buy it. Good scent, sits close to the skin, name is misleading.
100% what I got. Good designer scent, sits close and name is misleading. Great thoughts. High five*
Hello Robes08.
Nice vid!
Could you review Tiziana Terenzi Caput Mundi please? Or if you already has it, could you give me your impressions?
Regards
Hi David, I have not smelled Caput, I'll write it down and add it to the test list. Thanks!
@robes08 Thank you!
❤😊
Much love!
Iff there is a spicebomb...i buy it👊
Iff there is a perfume that smells like SB i buy it!!! Why? Cause it was my signature scent for menny menny years, im so deep in the Nostalgia i cant be fair reviewing it
I guess all them flankers are made for people like you.
The first step is admitting it. Good on you!
I was sampling a bunch of fragrances at the store last month and this one stood out. I went home and everyone online said the performance was bad. So now i lost interest. Too expensive is it doesn't last.
If it stood out for you... that's all that matters!! Who cares what the talking heads say, you know 99% of them parrot each other, they copy paste what fragrantica says, they copy each other. If you enjoy the scent, that's all that matters. Personally I'd like you to give it another chance.
Smelled pretty muddled when I tried it, like just a non descript earthiness paired with a watered down spice bomb scent dna
I believe it's the incense and tobacco notes, they don't have any real personality in this one, they are here for depth.
Hey Mark, hope you review Montale Aoud Cuir D’Arabie one day :)
Montale sucks but that fragrance rocks
Edit: I know you like that fragrance but not sure if you’ve reviewed it
That fragrance does rock. I own it and it's one of my faves of the brand.
Wore it this weekend. Its so good
It smells like Bulgari Man in Black.
I can see that now that you mention it.
The original Spicebomb was ok, not bottle worthy for me. None of the flankers have impressed me at all. Spicebomb Dark Leather is the worst of thee bunch. Antidote was a great release from V&R, it's a shame everything else they have put out is mediocre.
💀
👀
Supposedly the performance isn't the best... bruh
it's not that bad, I've tested much worst.
