Nike #ViralBlue

I don't know if it is similar to any other perfumes but I enjoy it a lot. It is very mysterious and sweet in a mysterious way - like an ancient Egyptian (maybe I made that association seeing the papyrus note listed). The first time I had a sniff I couldn't quite understand it but with the second time I fell in love with it. The scent is almost linear but not quite. Starts very enticing and sweet, then I get some note which I don't understand much (maybe papyrus? because it smells like an old book) and then it balances out with the sweet and mysterious notes. Started liking it when I started using the after shave balm (Update: Actually the shaving balm smells better because is sweeter)

With a new bottle (no maturation), the opening smells like an even balance of cloves and chai latte. The dry down smells like chai latte. 1-Week Maturation Update: Scent has changed to include more cinnamon now. Most concise description I can give: like a cinnamon-clove scent but darker (heavier). Faintly reminiscent of a chai latte now (same ballpark). Only mildly sweet (not a sweet scent). Winter-only. This is a dark (hence mature), masculine-leaning, mildly-sexy, secure, cozy, cinnamon-clove-chai scent. Not overtly sexy, and not really gourmand. Well-rounded and no harshness. Great for socialising or work. Okay for dates. Good (not great) scent, but very affordable price. Nice work Nike. 2-Month Update: A little more vanilla has come through. This is similar to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille (which is basically cloves and vanilla), but this Nike has a materially less prominent vanilla and therefore is much less sexy in comparison. Leaning moreso towards TF TV than V&R Spicebomb, given the prominence of cloves and the darkness/heaviness. If you like this, you should buy a Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille clone (YouTube and Reddit are your friends - though you can safely opt for the TF TV clones of the following brands: Pendora Scents, Maison Alhambra, or Fragrance World).

There's something familiar about this... Oh, Spicebomb, that's it!
