What does Spicebomb Extreme smell like?

Most voters pick winter, then autumn, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with office wear well behind. Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters read it as masculine.

Black pepper, grapefruit and pimento open with a sharp spice, and cinnamon, cumin and saffron deepen that warmth in the heart. The base turns sweeter with tobacco, cistus, amber and vanilla, settling into a gourmand, woody character. Sweet and spicy lead the accords. Penhaligon's The Blazing Mister Sam and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
