Musc Ultra

9.5/10 Lovely smell and blend. I get happy whenever I smell it. Very spicy and bold, yet still smooth. Natural/realistic citruses, spices, and frankincense. To me, it smells like a hybrid between Spicebomb EDT (75%) and Spicebomb Extreme (25%). It has the balanced citrus of the EDT and the depth and drydown of Extreme. It is Spicebomb EDT for the first 5/6 hours, and while Spicebomb EDT would fully disappear then, Musc Ultra stays for 3/4 more hours, transitioning into the drydown of Spicebomb Extreme. I like this way more than either of the Spicebombs. Strong-medium projection for 4 hours, medium for 2, low for 2 hours, afterwards skin scent for 2 more hours

side by side. its v&r spicebomb with a softer citrus like top note and really strong resinous sweet frankincense base. pink pepper still there but now accompanied with nutmeg, mandarin plus a herbal mint. the mid n base go into a more resin wood / ginger direction. rather than leathery, cinnamon, tabacco. actually this so much frankincense. i never liked the cinnamon in spicebomb so this is so much better to me. bit darker, more resinous. and different enough. slightly smokey. performance was better than spicebomb id say but they're both really good in that regard. but this pushes more off the skin. this one is more wearable in colder spring days. it's actually bit more complex. when it fully dries down earthy sweet olibanum and musky patchouli become dominant. el nabil makes great stuff.
