Spicebomb Dark Leather

Nem szeretem a borsos vagy füszeres, bőrös illatokat, inkább az édesebekett, de ez megfogott. Úgy találkoztam vele, hogy egy híresebb oldalról rendelve kaptam hozzá egy kis 1.2ml-es testert. Soha korábban nem szagoltam meg, mert nem érdekelt az illatjegyei miatt, de ha már ezt kaptam testerben kiprobálom. Sokkat nem vártam tőle, de poitív csalodás volt, egy kellemes férfi illat volt, fás, borsos, bőrös illatjegy, leírva nem hangzik jól, de az illat engemet lenyugözött, mérsékelt szilázst produkáló. Vettem egy kisebb (50ml) kiszerelest és sokat teszteltem, hogy mivel, hogyan lehet többet kicsikarni belőle, de a legjobb 6 óra volt kifujástól a teljes eltünésig, ami nem egy túlzottan jó érték. Szomoru, hogy egy jó illatt, viszont a nem túl jó szilázs és karcsu hosszantartoságg, és viszonylag borsos ára miatt egy értelmetlen parfüm. Teljesítmény: Mérsékelt szilázs, első 30 percben jól érezhető utána egyre gyengébb és 2-3 max 4 óra után csak bőrön lehet szinte csak érezni, bőrön 1-2 óráig lehet érezni utána eltünik, nagyon ritkán csapott meg utána az illat, ruhára fujással javíthat 1 max 2 órát. Sok tesztelés után max 6 órát tudtam kifacsarni belőle... Bókok: Amellet, hogy férfias illat nem a nők kedvence, keveslik az édességrt belöle valakinek túl borsos illatú, megosztó hölgyeknél. Férfiaknál szintén megosztó valaki szereti van aki egyáltalán nem, nem ezzel a parfümmel fogod kapni a legtöbb bókot. Ár érték, végítélet: Tetszik az illatt, lehetne egy kicsit édesebb és gazdagabb illatjegyekben, kicsit kevés oldalunak és sok idő után unalmassá válik, néha néha elővéve jó lehet, de napi 2x be kell magad vele fújnód. Ár értékbe egyáltalán nem jó, 145$ 90ml-ért sok, de ha ez az illat tudna 10-12 órát, gazdagabb lenne és jobb szilázsal, én nekem megérné, de így értelmetlen a parfüm vétele, ennyiért sokkal jobb bőrös parfümöt lehet találni. Illat: 7.5/10 Szilázs: 6/10 Hosszantartosság: 6.5/10 Ár érték: 6/10

This scent might have been better off as part of a different collection because spice bomb where? This fragrance is not in your-face explosive and (at least on me) the spices are not the stars of the show (they might be unnamed extras I couldn't make out in the background) The leather is an important secondary character, but it's definitely not the protagonist. On me, this scent is someone who works during the day rolling good fresh cigars. They come home, get ready for a date somewhere low-key and unfussy, followed by a night drive. When their partner slips in close to them somewhere quiet, this is what they smell. Clean, fresh, relaxed. The tobacco is pervasive but not intrusive, and the leather shows up smooth and quiet on the dry-down. It did not give me a migraine, but I suspect a high concentration would get me there. This is not for you if you: wanted cinnamon or nutmeg wanted a lot of leather- I wasn't able to distinguish the leather smell until almost 2 hrs of wearing it wanted your scent to be noticed when you're out and about - no projection here wanted something that would last more than 3 hours (I'm being generous) I think this is best if either you or your partner have a particular preference for the scent profile because nobody else is going to smell it. If my partner put this on at bedtime after a shower, I would be taking every opportunity to get close. Unfortunately, for the price it has and the way it lasts barely 3 hrs, I couldn't justify buying it.

Picked up the 3.4oz for $100 - been wearing it non-stop. I love it, it's the classiest and most mature of the Spicebomb line-up (of which I'm a fan, except for Night Vision). V&R didn't name it Dark Leather EXTREME for a reason...people are let down based on the expectation it would hit like SB extreme (which I own/love), this isnt that, and the dry down is nothing like the OG SB. With the first spray you will get that OG Spicebomb DNA and that quickly moves to the tobacco/black pepper/frankencense/nutmeg, all of them at once - it's only at the drydown that I can pickup a hint of [some type] leather, and it certainly isn't dar; I don't get any cinnamon, at least not like that from infrared edt, it might be sitting alongside the nutmeg. The dry down is very oriental smokey sweet with a hint of leather. This smells VERY different on skin vs a tester strip and even moreso in the COLD. I've been wearing to my gym (sue me) because they have the AC CRANKED (we're in a heat wave) and it's totally different than wearing it in 80+ heat, it projects and the slliage is much bigger and lingers - Wait until winter, everyone is going to change their tune and be all over this (or not, so more bottles for me). All that said, I do wish the leather punched a bit higher, it's not floral/over ripe like Ombre and it's not as spicey/smokey as Dark Rebel Rider (and isn't band-aid/medicinal like No Limit$/Bently for men).

TLDR: I love this. Performance has gotten better. I love this. Immediately reminded me of Ferragamo red leather. Sprayed my Red leather on other arm. Very close in scent profile. Another thing they have in common is poor longevity. At least the ferragamo projects a bit, and doesn't cost a lot... Edit: Had to add that I really, really love the way this smells. Love it. I was just hoping for a smashing performer, and I'm a bit let down. Otherwise, killer scent. Love it. Edit: Might still buy a bottle. Maybe folks that have had it a while can comment on whether or not it gets better legs as it ages a little.... Edit #2: Wow I really like this. A lot. I may have to overlook what I am perceiving as performance issues and just grab a bottle anyway. Edit #3: Probably going to retract my performance statement above, as I wore this on and off the last week or so and was surprised to clock in almost 10 hours noticeably on-skin, projected a close scent bubble for about three hours, and it was still detectable after a shower. Why the change? I'm not sure, honestly? But i'm going to go full bottle. It is just a great smelling fragrance. I'll get it on sale, though.... Edit#4: Got a bottle on sale. Going to wear it a bunch and see how the performance and longevity evolve... Edit/update: After about five months of owning this, and several wearings, the performance has improved significantly.

Love this fragrance! I hear many talking about it’s lack of trail and how far it goes from your body and I have to say it really isn’t all that great if you are looking for something to wow anyone in a room with you. But as a caveat for that reason I think it makes this even better! This isn’t the type of fragrance you’d take to a party or large social gathering, I’d use this for a night out, date, and even a classroom. This is the perfect fragrance if you are looking for something to smell nice but not try to get attention. Generally with fragrances depending on where I go I will go with different options based on who’s there and what I’m trying to express, in a work setting this is perfect! School??? Perfect! Date at a fancy restaurant? Maybe not but it’s a banger for the ride home ;). Overall this is a great fragrance that is trying to do a “Spicebomb” but with a more refined and subtle edge and I think this does that perfectly! The leathery spicy mix makes it very appealing for you and whoever you want to discover you and that’s all that matters. 9/10 in my book and definitely something guys need in their collection for the right uses. :)
