Spicebomb Metallic Musk

If you're familiar with the spicebomb DNA, this will be instantly familiar. If you already own the original Spicebomb, you'll be disappointed at the apparent redundancy this flanker provides. That said, this is smoother, fresher, and more aromatic than all the others to date. It's easily the most versatile and plays just as easily in the office as it does hanging out or on a date. To my nose, the closest match is 1899 Hemingway which when I purchased, instantly became my favorite autumn office fragrance of 2024. Metallic Musk has more of a soft and powdery aspect than 1899 and while the two are probably 90% similar in the opening and heart, a few hours in and MM let's go of the spices while moving closer to a woody musk fragrance. This is a crowd pleaser, but it's also something I really enjoy catching wafts of on myself throughout the day. The one negative (and reason it's not a "love") is the performance. The village is downright pathetic compared to any of the others in the spicebomb line and the longevity is equally miserable. At least on my skin. I do believe the longer the jus sits with oxygen in the bottle, the better this will perform. However, in my relatively modest experience with the hobby, maceration isn't as easy to predict as I want to believe. But as a general rule of thumb, I find autumn and winter fragrances that utilize spices, woods, vanilla, or amber tend to macerate better than freshies. And to claim that this is a more aromatic take on the OG or any of the previous flankers isn't saying much - we're talking about a fragrance called "spicebomb". It's possibly the most appropriately named fragrance line out there. It's a bit on the nose, but it is what it sounds like and even this smooth and "fresher" take of that DNA is best worn during the autumn. So here's to hoping the performance improves, because if it does, you better get in on this now so you can rock it this year while it becomes stupid popular among the masses for 2026.

If this were a song, it would be "Anymore" by Goldfrapp on their 'Silver Eye' album. Why? It’s not just modern—it almost feels futuristic. Like the song, which leans heavily on industrial synths, this cologne feels like the scent equivalent. Also, the bottle is a beautiful silvery metal grenade, and that Goldfrapp LP has 'Silver' in the name being named after our 'silvery metallic' moon. I absolutely loved it. It isn’t overpowering like some of the Spicebomb variations. It’s strong and long-lasting, but never feels overbearing. I’ve owned and loved Spicebomb, but in the summer it can truly feel like a bomb of spices. This, on the other hand, could even be worn in warmer weather, though I personally see it as more of a spring scent because it’s so clean and modern. It made me feel very confident. A perfect scent for the office or date night. I will say there’s one note that triggered some deep memories—something reminiscent of a scent popular in the late 1990s. I’m not saying this smells dated in any way—it absolutely doesn’t. Again, it’s very modern and futuristic. However, I think the suede and aldehyde notes subtly echo something from that era. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly. I could NOT stop smelling this on my arm. I kept getting images of driving on a highway through Manhattan in the early spring when the sky is overcast, grey but bright with some occasional drizzel, while I'm in a sports car dressed in a classy charcoal colored outfit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Overall, this feels like the perfect scent for 2026–2027. There seems to be a shift toward metallic, silver, futuristic fragrances right now, and this fits perfectly into that trend. It’s an amazing reinvention from Viktor & Rolf, and I’m so glad to own a bottle.

Walking around Mustafa aimlessly before drinks, looking for something new and different, told myself, no more ME, no more clones. Had almost given up after seeing nothing interest me at both sections. Suddenly i saw some silver boxes at the new section inner shelf. Great! Just what i am missing in the collection. Picked it up for $85 Sgd. Only a few pieces left... I remembered reading about this and reviews were good and adding it to my wanted to try list a while back. Fast forward next morning...Sotd, overspray as usual and first sprays immediately reminded me of Luna Rossa Black, that powdery and soapy aspects from it together with a amped down spiciness from the og Edt. The aldehydes opens well with the pepper here. Completely Unisex, some may find it more feminine. The cinnamon is still present and you'll smell it together with the lavender. Better than all the bombs in the line for me. This retains the SB dna and amped down spiciness but made it more Non-Designer. You may see references of reminds me of and many of the reviewers aren't really wrong. One of you'll will link it with Rehab, Musk Therapy, TFNE, MIB etc as this certainly contains certain vibes from those mentioned, however to me its sorta like a Hybrid between Luna Rossa Black and og Edt. It isn't a very strong scent, 3 hours later its a decent skin scent. It should stay lightly on the skin beyond 4-5 hours abouts there. I can't pinpoint any standout notes on the dry down, little muskiness and slight ambery. The highlight of Metallic Musk is in the opening Aldehydes definitely and then the slight spicy and added soapy aspects. Blind buy safe. Meetings, conferences and Schools safe. All ages safe. A good release that's underated.

Wanted to wear this a couple time before I reviewed to soak it in. First few times I wore it, it seemed alittle weak but today I’m on hour 12 and I can still smell myself lofting from under my shirt. I did spray about 6 sprays under 3 shirt layers and 3 around neck on a cold winter day. The OG SB jump started my collection of fragrances more than 10 years ago so I hold it close to my heart. It has fallen on and off my rotations over the years but always my comfort scent. With numerous flankers released, sampled and owned, it was always my only SB that ever held my attention long enough to appreciate and keep in the stable. This one has me questioning whether it will be replaced for the first time. Versatility is a huge factor in this equation and Metallic Musk wins this hands down. It does feel more modern and maybe even younger but still remains unique without losing its famous DNA that got my attention way back when. It definitely is closest to the OG edt. The light musk and slightly metallic fabric softener nuances mix better than expected to this dna than I ever imagined. It isn’t nearly as linear as the OG and Extreme and seems to change every time you catch a whiff. Very impressive so far but will require more sprays than other SB flankers to perform. I do believe it got alittle stronger after 6 weeks on the shelf. One of my favorite releases of the year but again I’m a Spicebomb lover. Strong 8.5 / 10

Banger! Best release in the line after the older bottles of SB Extreme. This is everything that I wanted SB Fresh to be. This opening is close in scent profile to the original EDT once that was in its middle phase, but some clean aldehydes and a nice little citrus zest. As this dries down, a clean musk that blends extremely well with the rest of the composition unfolds. I don't really get the leather. Longevity is solid and I get over 8 hours from this, although the projection is moderate at best after it starts to dry down. It gives nice scent bubble. This is definitely unisex and a bit more so than previous entries with the additions of the musk and aldehydes making it smell a little bit clean. This is the most versatile SB release. Period. I don't enjoy it as much as SBE, but I can wear this almost year round and get that beautiful SB DNA (which is one of my favorite fragrance DNA's). I also like Initio Rehab more, but that is not safe to wear most of the summer. I understand they had to make trade-offs to make this scent as versatile as it is, and I think Herault made very wise decisions with the balance and note selection. It's a strong like for me. Yes, I'd rather be wearing other stuff with this DNA most of the time, but I can't do that without choking people out once it gets above 80°F. 90/100

I've become exceedingly fussy about fragrances recently but I might cop this one. Haven't bought in almost a year. First time I tried it it reminded me of Dior homme intense + spicebomb with the subtle sweetness and ambrette. I tried it again today on paper, and will go back to the store tomorrow to try on skin. This test strip smells fantastic. It's also not loaded to the gills with amberwood like most other semi sweet mens fragrances this day which is refreshing. Edit: copped it without trying on skin. Yeah there's amberwood which I couldn't smell on paper but it works in this formula to me so far. Fairly subtle. It might start annoying me in the future but hard to say. Longevity is pretty middling. After a few hours it doesn't really smell like spicebomb, more like nondescript designer base notes. Perfect if going out for a few hours. The opening hour is absolutely fantastic. Easily a 10. Next couple hours are decent- Like a 7. Deep drydown is like a 4-5. Just eh. Nothing really to it at that stage. Deep drydown of normal spicebomb has more to it and is really quite good even with my dislike for saffron. So all in all, this has my favoeite opening, og is my favorite for all the other stages.

Metallic Musk is pretty amazing. Versitle. Year round. Fresh, fizzy, clean, soft, airy, slightly sweet. Signature scent worthy. Metallic Musk opens intense and fresh with a punch of aldehydes and pepper. Mostly the fizzy freshness from the aldehydes and light pepper. Very sharp and invigorating. Quickly settles into the mid/base of cinnamon, lavender, white musk and 'silver suede' on me. I can't stand leather in scents on me, yet this is fantastic. The cinnamon is soft, pleasant. The musk is airy. So clean. So musky. So fresh. Stays there for the duration which is 6 hours at most. Turns into a 'sit next to you to smell you skin scent' after a few hours and has average projection. The longevity and projection works well for what this scent seems to be going for although I expect more. Any age, any profession. Spray and smell VERY fresh and alluring. Easy recommendation! Metallic Musk is an excellent choice for any situation or occasion... Except the gym or very high heat summer days.

A possible contender for best designer fragrance release of 2025, at least in my humble opinion. I’m usually not a fan of musk, but here it’s blended so seamlessly that it perfectly complements the SB DNA. It just works without giving off any of those “old person” or “old-worldly” vibes that I often associate with musky fragrances. The “metallic” aspect is surprisingly accurate. It’s subtle and hard to describe, but there’s a faint metallic undertone sitting quietly behind the musk, adding a modern, slightly edgy character rather than anything sharp or harsh. I can’t help but feel that this helps the musk not feel “old”, if that makes sense? I’ve worn this for the past three days straight, and I’m enjoying it more with each wear. I can easily see myself wearing it in spring, autumn, and winter, though probably not ideal for high summer heat. My only regret is going for the 50ml and I’ll definitely be picking up a 100ml backup without hesitation.

This is the ultimate Spicebomb flanker. I love the original SB DNA, SBE is absolutely fantastic, but very limited on versatility. Every other SB flanker has been a let down in one way or another, that is until this was released. Don't let the leather note scare you, it's barely perceptible. This is such a versatile fragrance, I don't like it as much as SBE, but this can be worn in just about any occasion and any season. The musky aldehydes are beautiful and make this much more unisex than previous releases. It checks so many boxes, the performance is very good as well. It lasts a very long time 8-10 hours on skin, but it also stays pretty close to you and isn't nearly as loud as the OG or SBE. This is so good, I drained 85% of my 3oz bottle in less than 3 months which is crazy fast. I will definitely be grabbing another bottle next year.

I delayed getting this thinking I may not care for it. But now that I have it I can’t believe how amazing it is. I just got it yesterday. 1st my son was with me when I opened it and I sprayed once on each arm. He loved it so much he asked to use it immediately before leaving out. Around 30 mins later I had someone come to drop off something and within 30 seconds she asked what I was wearing. I told her what it was. About 2 mins later she asked again and said can I please smell your arm because this smells unbelievable. (I’m not making this up). She said this smells like a beautiful fabric softer with added spices and to make sure to be careful wearing this because this will get me whatever I want...Case closed. 10 out of 10, I’m wearing it tomorrow, and getting my list together now 📝🤣 this metallic musk really is incredible!!!

This is incredible! I’ve always had Initio rehab, I thought it was a calming yet sexy fragrance, but the price tag is so high! This one here is very very similar! Might even be better for most people! Metallic musk, isn’t how it sounds, it isn’t overly musky or metallic, I think the name is like that because the bottle is metallic not because of the smell. With that said this is by far the best Spicebomb, I did a side by side with all the others and this is the smoothest and strongest one, it’s also the best quality smelling and the most versatile. In comparison, the original is more spicy woody, and the extreme is much more abrasive, has a very punchy synthetic woody spicy tone to the opening of it that when you smell it side by side with this one you can tell right away the quality isn’t as good as metallic musk.

Spicebomb Metallic Musk by Viktor & Rolf is a bold and modern interpretation of the classic Spicebomb DNA with a invigorating twist. The opening is crisp and slightly spicy, with a clean metallic brightness that feels energizing and contemporary. As it settles, the musk note becomes beautifully dominant, smooth, warm, and incredibly addictive, giving the scent a soft yet powerful presence that feels both sensual and uplifting. The woods and subtle spices in the background add depth without overwhelming the star of the show. The performance is very good, offering solid longevity and a trail that’s noticeable without being overpowering. This is a scent I genuinely enjoy wearing and one that I absolutely love for its fresh yet seductive character and standout musk core.

If there was ever a 'Ticks All Boxes' fragrance...Look no further than V+R: SB-MM. I really don't need any more frags to be honest. I'm swimming in them. So the fact I needed to buy this knowing that very well is pretty telling. Day, Night, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...This has you covered. This is the Jack of all Trades and the Master of ALL of them. Signature worthy. Collection of 3 worthy. Would be an excellent standalone frag for someone. I managed to pick this up from a certified retailer as a gift set. 90ML, Plus 2 10ML decants for £60. That's incredible value for something this good. Especially when you put it side by side with a £200-300 Initio Rehab. I'm wearing it as we speak and it's pumping off my skin. Excellent shit. Highly rate. K Bye.

Oooh man that drydown is so divine... I’ve been testing this fragrance for a few weeks now. I previously owned the OG edt version, which I really enjoyed and used quite a lot during the winter. That bottle has since been finished, and i was excited to try the new flanker. It still has that familiar spicy and warm character, but it feels lighter and more wearable. When you spray this perfume, it creates a cozy aura around you. I’d describe it as a warm scent for the cold-winter season. The projection is fairly good for the first hour, although the longevity seems a bit below average. It has quickly become one of my go-to choices for fall and winter. Very unique scent overall, and in my opinion, one of the best designer releases of 2025.

Fragrance Journal Entry #78 Macy's had a sale for a 90ml bottle and two 10mls for $100 so i grabbed it. I would NOT however pay retail for this. I had previously tested this in store and enjoyed it quite a bit...stood out amongst the other new releases. After a bit of time with this i can confidently say this is the best release of 2025 and the most interesting fragrance L'oreal has come out with in a while. Opens up as the name would imply..spicy, mineral notes, airy, and very musk heavy. As it dries the aldehydic notes come out and this adds a sort of soft creaminess to the scent. Overall with this kind of performance i think it's signature scent worthy and easy to like. Rating: 8.6/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

Simply put, this fragrance is excellent. It blends musk, lavender, and subtle metallic notes seamlessly. The opening pepper note adds a clean, masculine edge without ever becoming overpowering, giving the scent an airy and vibrant feel. As it dries down, a soft touch of cinnamon emerges, wrapped in a smooth base of musk and labdanum. If you enjoy clean, office-friendly or casual fragrances, this is a standout choice. It also suits all seasons which is a huge bonus. The only drawback is the performance—it sits at moderate on my skin and doesn’t quite match the quality of the scent itself. With stronger longevity and projection, this would score even higher. As it stands, I’d rate it an 8.8 out of 10.

So if you’ve tried Prada Luna Rossa Black and liked it then this is kind of that vibe, but a bit softer, less powdery and less intense. The musk smooths everything out and the spice just sits quietly in the background giving it a bit of warmth without being in your face about it. Honestly it’s one of those you can just reach for without thinking. Winter, spring, fall, summer nights, going out, work, casual. I have others that I could pick for the office, but this would work if sprayed moderately. Really good stuff from this brand! Just a solid, easy fragrance that works. Need more releases like this.

really think this is worth buying, imo it fits most skin chems and Haas a long lasting decent silliage, it starts as a really powerful kinda sneezy peppery madness, but it dries down into this fresh musky clean scent but still that classic spice bomb spice really shines through in this one, I really think this is my number 2 right behind extreme, my only problem is a touch of my taste, I tend to like more gourmand tobbaco warm scents, yet still this is my signature scent because its just so versatile, its like a similar idea of y edp but it just is better, it really is amazing, worth the buy.

Out of all the range this is the absolute BOMB of the Spicebomb series. I used to wear the OG years ago, which is why I wanted to go back to this.....but this is just next level. The complexity of the musk and cinnamon is second to none. Doesn’t matter who it is they will stop you and ask you what this is (never tell them haha) Anyway, to some this up this is a seductive fragrance that will get compliments anywhere. Great all year round and to be honest this is a scent I’ll never get bored of but that’s just my preference, so she’s here to stay. Well done Viktor and Rolf !

One of my default go-tos—it’s so versatile and easy to wear for any occasion. Surprisingly not at all intrusive despite being a spicebomb if you spray conservatively. My sister said it smells like McDonald’s fries and sweat to her, which I sadly can concede to, but unless you work out or something, this french-fry-accord does not appear. Could also just be a me-issue and how it handles my skin. Anyway, it’s wonderful, sharp, and smells better than I expected by a long shot. My favorite peppery scent by far. Opening is sharp and fleeting—plan accordingly. Rating: 9/10

One of the best designers I've ever smelled. To my nose it is very similar to Spicebomb Extreme and OG but with a fresh "warm laundry" focus. All the spices are still there but the tobacco and vanilla is toned down (still there in the background). I find this to be a more balanced blend and the best of the lineup. I would not call this metallic at all - it feels warm and soft. It's not really a freshy either - it's right in the middle. Great performance. I've always liked Spicebomb but was waiting for the right one to come around and this is it! 9/10

Masculine musk done to perfection. This is such a standout fragrance to me as it's nothing like any of the other Spicebomb fragrances- much less overbearing and in your face. This is a musk forward fragrance with a crack of black pepper in the opening, and some aldehydic notes to give it the metallic touch the name suggests. This fragrance last a good long time and dries into to a clean, slightly sweet, masculine musk that still projects well, not to mention this is a fragrance that can be worn year round. Can't recommend enough. 9/10

Man this is amazing! I dont own any spicebombs because they never spoke to me a bit too spicey and thick but this is perfect for year round. Its clean without being boring and it has a smooth leather base that is very sexy and sensual with the slight spice and freshness up top. the vibe is similar to the new Boss bottled beyond. they dont smell the same but they have the same versatility with the fresh and the leather year round. this is my favorite spicebomb and a 9.25/10 decent lasting power but its not a beast either.

Watched the youtube reviews and blind bought it. The OG mistake. This is a nice scent, my coworker ladies complimented it. Very professional, clean powdery, a hint of dentist vibe but its pleasant. I was hoping for more spice, i can only detect the pepper. Its not as closely related to the rest of the spicebomb line as I expected. Very reminescent of mancera cosmic pepper. This is less sharp, less citrus and a bit more warmth, but less performance. Very few people would hate this, very inoffensive, very versatile.

A less spicy and quite weak and less interesting than Original or Extreme at least for the first few days i use it ... time will tell ! Update : Yes finally is more interesting than i thought and more complex ..perfomance is ok quite little better than OG I like it !! maybe even more than OG !!! and yes it is soapy but in a interesting way if you dont have any spicebomb try this first and for colder days try Extreme Its not so loud like the others of the line so is very good for an everyday use ..good work !

Finally pulled the pin on this one (har har). I had some Shoppers Optimum Points to use and ended up getting it after wearing a sample of it. I don’t think I would have paid full price. It’s nice to have a Spicebomb for daily wear that won’t be too much for my coworkers. Really like the spicy, powdery fresh combo. The leather isn’t too much on my skin, but that’s fine by me. Works better for me than the OG and the other flankers, although I did go through a bottle of Infrared EDT and enjoyed that.

this became my signature scent along with initio rehab, both has the same musky, woody and fresh spicy vibe , the only difference is that metallic musk is spicier and aldehydlic, while the rehab is woodier and creamier... it feels redundant owning both but since i put a good amount of sprays for better perfomance , I would layer with rehab for the ultimate woofy cleanliness this is the best soft fragrance that can be used for all occasions and seasons, including going to bed

This is what I wish Luna Rossa Carbon would be: powdery metallic clean scent, but with a subtle kick of pepper and spice. A little goes a long way, so be wary of over spraying. Compared to other Spicebomb frags, this definitely pulls back on the spicy notes. Great office scent on its own, but I like to layer it over something warmer or spicy to ground it a little more and smooth out the strong top notes. Can be used year round, but I feel it performs best in warmer weather

Blind bought this one based on reviews that said it had the original DNA. That is exactly true. I love it because this definitely smells like the original without being too heavy on the spices. I got a bit frustrated with the OG because i could barely smell new batches after 2hrs but this one last more than 7hrs on my clothes. I get whiffs continuously so i am guessing the sillage is very good. let's see. If you love the original, this will be a safe buy.

I really like the spicebomb dna, I have the OG, infrared edt, and extreme. I like all of them and this one still has the spicebomb OG DNA but it’s lighter and more fresh and I think more versatile. You can use this one almost year round maybe signature scent if you really like it. I am getting a bottle; I liked the cooler scent but still kept the spicy notes but a little softer not as aggressive. My wife doesn’t like the OG but she liked this one.

The best designer release since H24. If you love the OG, which was a great original release, this is a must own. It's the OG but more airy. This projects all day in the air without being annoyingly strong. A vibe like Another 13, that smells like Spicebomb. Great mondern take on a classic. I want to talk shit on the bottle but I still love the grenade. I like to pull the pin and throw it at people when having company over. Nice ice breaker.

Immediate thought upon spraying this on skin for the first time time is this is VERY close to Initio Musk Therapy, but leaning more on the grounded, darker edge due to Labdanum and a very small amount of it. This doesnt immediately come off as a leather, but I do get a dark balsamic note way in the background. I like it a lot and even moreso than Extreme. Im gonna need a full bottle off this, but god damn that corny bottle design smh

At first, you’re like, “what the hell is this?” the scent almost feels nonsensical. But then, for the next half hour, you can’t stop smelling it. It’s truly unique. As the name suggests, it opens with a sharp metallic, then softens into a hint of lavender before settling into a smooth blend of leather and musk. Definitely not a blind buy, but it’s memorable unlike anything I’ve smelled before, in a good way

As a newbie to fragrances, I had never smelt anything like this before. Seems a bit crazy to me that some people are saying "yeah this is kinda basic", because to me this is one of the most interesting and unique fragrances I've ever smelled. Literally never had encountered anything like this in the wild. I have no idea what to reference this against lmao. Industrial laundry detergent, maybe...?

bought a sample of this. really disappointed in longevity, it should have lasted even 10 hours from other reviews but lasted only 3 for me. other than this, really good fragrance, smells really masculine metallic clean and spicy, if it weren't for the duration I would have maybe bought the full bottle. at least imo the opening is not really that chemical and moreover i prefer it to the drydown.

an improvement on the spicebomb formula. the spice is toned down which was very much needed. this is a spicebomb i actually enjoy. the aldehydes are a great touch. while i do really like this fragrance, i strongly disagree with the summer votes. even this mellowed out spicebomb is too cloying for the summertime. lol. it's more of a late fall to early spring type of cologne

It's spicebomb extreme but they got rid of that heavy tobacco and honey-sweetness. I had a 90 ml Extreme and after i smelled this Metallic Musk one I really found out that extreme's only problem is its heaviness and this doesnt have it, the other one was smelling like a annoying brat but this smells like peace. It's the best one in this flanker for sure you can trust me.

It's pretty much the original EDT, but with a cleaner and fresher opening. It brings out that spicy cinnamon in the drydown, just like the EDT and so on. It smells good, but enthusiasts say it's kind of boring compared to the other flankers. I still think it smells good at the end of the day 8/10. one of the best clean and fresh scents ive smelt yet.

A clean Bomb. This is the cleanest and most modern take on the Spicebomb DNA. Reduced spices of the original. Metallic Musk focuses on a smooth blend of musk, subtle spices and a metallic effect. Sits closer to the skin, different from a loud statement. Surprisingly versatile that works just as well in the office as it does on a night out.

Take the original, an already gorgeous fragrance, and give it a musky and slightly soap edge, and you end up with this. The EDT works best in the colder weather but this will work well all year round. I loved the original, and since I love musky fragrances, I love this. Brilliant fragrance. Might be one of my new favourite designers.

This would have been an 11 out of 10 if they had put a little tonka or bitter almond in the end along with the musk. This was a love at first sniff for me. There's something about this perfume's structure that reminds me of L'homme Ideal EDT if you take out the rosemary. L'homme Ideal feels more spicy than this Spicebomb.

This is a really great fragrance, it has an enticing scent profile and is a compliment magnet, I could go on about how it has good longevity for a designer and the sillage will have you getting attention from strangers or you could just get yourself a bottle and experience it for yourself.

Spicebomb DNA with smokey vetiver in the back. Aldehydes are strong with this one. Definitely different than any of the other Spicebomb flankers I’ve got my nose on. Projection and longevity are excellent. Leans masculine. Reminds me of something vintage. It’s a like for me!!! Cheers!!

I've not smelt anything like this before. It's one of the most unique designers I have, and also one of the best daily fragrances. The scent is clean, smooth but also not boring. I've made it my signature just for the reason it's super easy to wear whenever. Easy recommend!

A beautiful spicey soapy with a base of musk with the prefect balance of each. This is a niche fragrance packaged into a designer bottle. I'd say each note complements the next. The projection and longevity is expected for a freshy but i wish they were better.

A mature take on SB Extreme - It honors that DNA while smoothly blending a musky head to elevate the classic we have all worn! Recommended for those who enjoy Extreme, but have been wishing for something a tad more complex. As always, sample before buying!

@jaybravo yes it is for men, for me the opening reminds me the drydown of most 00s men colognes. the musk instead of sticking on your skin , it lingers in the air thank god i have no overprayed perfume grandma kissing before going to church memories

Fantastic peppery, aromatic and boozy fragrance. Quite masculine and is suited for colder weather. I like wearing it to the office. It’s quite strong so 3 sprays in the back of the neck is enough. You’ll be catching aromatic whiffs all day.

I love this. I don't really now why, it just smells freakin great. Clean and manly, a tiny bit spicy and musky. I sense a little vanilla after an hour or two. I think is is overpriced but it's just really really good. I rate it 9/10.

This perfume definitely needs an intense version, to increase sillage and projection. That's the only thing missing from this perfume. The perfume is excellent, versatile, for all seasons, definitely a signature scent.
