Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb for Men Eau de Toilette Spray, 1.7 Ounce

Absolutely love this cologne. Very, very strong and unique scent, possibly a little too strong for some people. I use it mainly in situations where I need a scent that stands out and can be easily detected, so it is perfect for nightclubs, dance parties and other events with a high density of people.Viktor and Rolf is a small brand compared to the likes of Nautica, Burberry, Chanel, and Ralph Lauren, so you will likely be the only one wearing V&R at your next event, which only works to your advantage. The actual fragrance is very musky, with a sweet "aftertaste" (only way I can describe it). Truly unique, it is completely exotic to most people, but unmistakeable to anyone who has had experience with it. My friends say they have never smelled anything like it when they borrow it.The scent is very masculine, the polar opposite of floral based colognes, so while it is great in situations where you will be meeting many women, it's likely too much for romance with your significant other, so use very little unless she says she craves it.The design of the bottle is, in one word, iconic. The black grenade styling speaks to the sometimes overpowering strength, and it's unabashed appeal towards the male market. It feels natural in your hand, more so than any other bottle I have used. The pull-pin is a small but significant addition that is the icing on the cake for this design, and in my cologne collection this is the only bottle I openly display.SUMMARY: This cologne has a unique, masculine, exotic scent that is very strong with a "sweet" aftertaste, and you have to be careful not to use too much in certain situations. The design of the bottle gives it a natural grip in your hand, and is unique, functional, and beautiful. This is one of the more expensive colognes in my collection, but it is my most used one and to me it is worth every penny I spend on it.

I am rating the product five stars, even though my particular experience with this purchase was four stars. I ordered the product on Friday, August 23rd. It shipped from Florida. It was in Minneapolis/St. Paul by Monday the 26th, so it should've been out for delivery on Tuesday the 27th. I received a card in my mailbox Tuesday the that a signature was required. I live in a secure building, and my mail room has large secure boxes for packages from the USPS. I did not request signature required so I was a bit peeved about that. This is not the seller's fault, but I checked the box on the yellow card and signed my name authorizing the postal carrier to leave the package at my apartment. This did not happen on Wednesday so I had to journey to the post office today to pick it up. This is certainly not the seller's fault but I would have preferred if the seller would have made it clear they ship packages with "signature required." I only detail this experience on here so others will be aware ... The seller was AWESOME because I ordered the product around 4pm central time August 23rd and it arrived from Florida in Minneapolis late in the day on August 26th... THAT IS SERVICE! ... Just be aware that a signature may be required even if you live in a secure building and are used to receiving packages without signatures all the time.Now, on to the product. I found this cologne in Macy's a couple weeks ago as a new scent. I immediately fell in love with it, but the 1.7oz size was $84.00 and the larger one $104.00 (way to mark it up Macy's!). I came home and checked Amazon and found it for under $57.00 for the 1.7oz size.This scent is amazing. I have a lot of cologne, and when I smelled this I thought "wow this is different!". I don't like wearing the same scents all the time. This is one I'll wear a lot. It's crisp and fresh, and the name Spicebomb is accurate. It has a definite "spice" to it.

i bought the 50ml bottle at a nearby fragrance store and i fell in love with it. ran out of it recently and rebought it here for half the price. to my surprise, it was a 90ml bottle, nearly double the size of the one prior. if you have yet to experience this fragrance, i would highly recommend. it has a natural sort of woodsy, spicy (who would’ve guessed) scent with hints of sweetness. i have never smelled fahrenheit by christian dior but someone recently compared the scent to that, so if you like that one you will like this. extra points for the cool bottle too, i enjoyed pulling the pin lol.

If you buy this for your spouse be ready for them to receive a lot of looks, sniffs, and compliments. The scent is so sexy for lack of a better word. It's long-lasting yet not overpowering at all. Makes a great gift for your special person.

The scent is very alluring. I believe that it can be worn by men & woman. It might need to be reapplied later in the day if you want to continue smelling nice.

Good

From the moment I got a whiff of this scent on a male friend I found myself saying "My goodness, that smells incredible! What IS that?!" The following day I immediately purchased it for my boyfriend so that I could enjoy the scent on a regular basis.I think the name "Spicebomb" says it all. When you spray it on, it is as if you have let off a bomb of piercing sexy, masculine spice. The scent is strong, but very pleasant, and it pulls you in. Every time my boyfriend applies it, I find myself gravitating in his direction to get a better whiff. It's that good. He loves the smell, too.If you like Paco Rabanne 1 Million, you will probably like this as well. It has that same spice-based scent, although 1 Million has added notes of sweetness, whereas Spicebomb is more intense and full-on spice.The cologne I received was 100% authentic and smells exactly like it does in the store. However, after reading some other reviews stating that the item received was watered down or not authentic, I made sure to purchase directly from Amazon.com, LLC rather than any of the other sellers to avoid a fake.The price on Amazon also cannot be beat. The same 1.7oz bottle costs $90 everywhere else, almost double the price on Amazon.
