Spicebomb Night Vision Eau de Parfum

I picked this stuff up today from my local Sephora as they had a deal, putting this right at the same price as Fragnet without the shipping wait. So I jumped on it! First bottle of any Spicebomb. I've sampled a few, and this one is the one that I like most out of all of them. The opening is a very peppery cardamom with a touch of apple (no where near a dominant note, the apple sits in the back here, how its labeled as prominent on this site? I don't know, but I don't agree at all.) Pepper takes the stage for the entire opening with a slight fruity touch added. The middle and base are definitely kind of mixing, I don't have the opening then middle, then base, just kind of all of it at once, but more of the heart and base coming together as one. It has a very Christmas type vibe, like others mention, but this has a unique freshness and slight fruity touch that leaves it as a fall/winter/cold spring staple. Lots of Fir showing itself, Cedar, pistachio, benzoin, lavender, it all comes together to be a very spicy, yet nicely fresh vibe. The notes here really don't make much sense, but I'll stick to that. Not really a nutty frag, but the way it all blends, really is nice. This makes me think of a nice pair of blue jeans as weird as that sounds. Performance is good! Pretty much seems to be as this site says it is. I sampled a spray on my wrist upon purchase, and it's been sticking around for around 5 hours almost currently. Tells me that I could probably get around 8-12 hours from this, the sillage is a little lighter, but not anything like a skin scent, my sample spray isn't shining too much currently, as I believe my scent of the day is overwhelming it, so I can more fully review the sillage and performance in the coming days. Seasons and whatnot here seem a little odd, I feel I could definitely pull this off for a summer time date night, little spicy, but I don't think it'd be too much, but at the same time, it's christmas like touch makes me think its more for the fall/winter/spring, but I'll label it for all seasons, as I've had similar smelling stuff, that I used to wear in the summer all the same. As for what I think this smells simlar to, and this is actually the whole reason I bought this, but it very deeply reminds me of one of my all time favorite scents; Diesel Only The Brave Tattoo. it smells really dead on. I went through 2-3 bottles of that diesel a few years back, and I kept buying it as a signature scent until discovering the massive fragrance community, and have yet to come across anything similar enough with better performance, until this stuff! If you like Diesel OTB Tattoo, and want that perform better, pick this up, you will not be disappointed for a moment. I also pick up a similarity to Mercedes Benz Sign. Not as strong a similarity, but its enough that it made me think of that frag as well, again, this Spicebomb being a better performer overall, so the Benz frag is one now that won't be missed. All in all, this stuff is amazing and I'm really glad I grabbed it up on a whim today, I've been wanting this DNA back in my collection for a while, and I'm really happy to have it again!

I'm emotionally attached to this one, so my opinion is heavily biased here (regardless of the trollgrantica schmoos' "opinions“) I remember looking for this bottle for ages before finally coming across it (for some odd reason it was out of stock for MONTHS before I was able to get it, still don't know why) and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. The reason why I'm biased has less to do with the fragrance itself and more with the memories associated to it, was Xmas Eve of '23, had only had this bottle for a week, was a year of several wishes coming true for me including the reappearance of one of my closest friends who had gone missing for almost a year, then finally finding some other fragrances I wanted that were basically unobtainable where I lived at the time... whole nine yards was that year haha. I only wear this during december, but every time I wear it, it brings me back to that point where things finally began to look up in my life and I was happy to be alive, finally. Gotta be thankful to the universe smiling down at me at last 😅🤣 Performance on this lil bad boy is brutal on my skin (I also cheat abit and wear some Vaseline on my neck and wrists) I get around 11 hours, because even after showering before bed I can still very much smell it the morning after, sillage is quite good too, someone here said "this scent arrives before you do" and they're 100% right, people in the kitchen, way over to the other side of the house, smelled it before I even walked in, and it LOVES to linger in the air...projection calms down after an hour and a half and stays as a nice little bubble around you for the remainder of the wear. Syrupy sweet, nutty pistachio, citrusy fresh spicy, resinous and alluring designer profile, hard to dislike unless you're a snob or just a goofball, to me this bad boy will always be a 10/10 purely on the basis of memories and good times.

Can literally at least one review not have a comparison to another fragrance?! I mean c’mon man! Majority of the reviews here are comparisons to Wanted by Night/or something on the Paco Rabanne line. This fragrance is unique in its own way. Hell no it’s nothing close to the comparisons that have been made! ITS UNIQUE! For me, this fragrance opens with apple, and cardamom for the first five to thirty minutes. It then begins to work its way into the black pepper after the thirty minute mark. Working into the middle notes, lavender then begins to take over after the first few hours of Spicebomb Nightvision Eau De Parfum. For the remaining time of this beautiful fragrance, cedar, and patchouli are the final ones that exist. Spicebomb Nightvision works best in fall/winter weather. It can be used in an everyday setting (depending on the weather) and also, depending on the wearer. I also say this is compatible to be sprayed on a date night. I’d say for a date night though, go light on the sprayer, it can be overpowering if applying more then 3-4 sprays. Projection: 5/5. Projection for me is a beast with this fragrance. Projection is beast in cold weather. Longevity: 5/5. This fragrance last from the time I put it on to the next day. Silage 5/5. Silage of this fragrance is pretty strong. It stays in the air for a while once sprayed. Radiates more then five foot around me. It’s silage is a beast when sprayed in a cooler atmosphere. Male rating: 5/5. Definitely an all male fragrance. Males can dominate this cologne like me. Price value: 5/5. I believe the price I paid for this fragrance was great. Definitely well worth my money spent. I paid seventy dollars for 1.7 fluid ounces for this fragrance. Overall rating five stars out of five stars, with all that mentioned here it’s self explanatory why it’s a five out of five for me. Highly recommend it!

As someone who is super into rich, dark, oriental-type fragrances, I was struggling to find a suitable fragrance for warm weather. Then I tried this, and the problem was more or less solved! After buying a sample (of every 'standard' iteration of Spicebomb, incidentally!) I decided I liked it enough to buy, and got a decent deal from an Ebay seller. I really like this scent. It is simultaneously fresh-green-spicy and warm-sweet-ambery. Definitely super wearable. The spicebomb "dna" is pushed pretty far into the background compared to most of the other editions I sampled. It is really well-blended and hard to make out individual notes, but I can smell the green apple, lavender and benzoin. I don't smell any of the citrus notes listed, and it's worth noting that this is way less citrus-forward and 'sporty' than the EDT. It also (obviously) wears a little better. Still - and, admittedly, many fragrances just tend to fade quickly with my cursèd skin chemistry - it doesnt last as long as I would like it to, but for a lighter/fresher scent it does have pretty good longevity. One thing: this does kind of remind me of *ahem* Old Spice Fiji. Hahaha. Idk entirely why, but they both have a similar fruity-fresh-spicy... vacation... vibe? I would like to smell them next to each other to see if the similarity is actually there... obviously I would never pay what I did if it smelled just like Old Spice... I personally wouldn't wear this in cooler weather, but I don't think one would be remiss to do so. Definitely recommended if you like Oriental-type scents but want to branch out or explore warm-weather scents.

The opening hits with a crisp, fresh, slightly sour green apple that immediately sets this apart from the rest of the Spicebomb line. It’s juicy and bright and stands out from the rest of the line already. The apple is joined by an aromatic, green lift, giving the fragrance a piney festive feel. This green aromatic phase feels modern, clean, and energetic. As it develops, the scent turns nutty, lightly spiced, and softly sweet, all resting on a smooth woody backbone. The pistachio is the star here adding texture, depth, and personality, elevating the fragrance and giving it a unique signature within the line. I can see why some people might be disappointed, especially coming from Extreme. While I don’t think this “lacks spices,” calling it a Spicebomb is somewhat misleading. The spices aren’t meant to dominate but provide freshness and warmth, while the aromatics, nuttiness, and fruits do the heavy lifting. Performance-wise, this one really shines in cooler conditions. I’ve worn it on cold mornings that later turned into warm afternoons, where it took on a vanilla sunscreen-like vibe on my skin. But when worn in consistently cool weather, it truly blooms and reveals all its facets. The compliments with this one have been next level (some of them very explicit) and that alone says a lot about its appeal. Overall, this is the best and most versatile Spicebomb I’ve tried. If I had to recommend just one Spicebomb from the entire lineup, this would be it without hesitation.
