What does Spicebomb Metallic Musk smell like?
Voters find its longevity and sillage good. It leans towards autumn, spring and winter, with summer a weaker pick. It suits leisure and daily wear best, and also works for nights out and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and modern.
It opens bright and cool with aldehydes, black pepper and bergamot, while elemi resin adds a slight sharpness. In the heart, cinnamon, pimento and Provençal lavender bring a spicy warmth. In the dry-down, leather, musk and ambrette seed absolute settle it onto a powdery, creamy base, with the sweet and synthetic accords staying in the background.
