Damn Aaron ! I am blown away with how you can pull apart a perfume like a surgeon. You must see the world with such sensitivity the way a bloodhound doesn’t just see with his eyes ! Thankyou for your review !

[@Qwerty-qj8zh]

Reviewed as promised, much love Aaron!

[@golfbuddy1969]

I’ve had a bottle of Spicebomb since it first came out 10-12 years ago. I’m on my third bottle. I don’t think that performance has changed much over the years. It’s a great scent that still smells somewhat unique, even after a decade. Not near as sweet as most spicy fragrances today.

[@LoLeQ88]

released in 2012..

[@golfbuddy1969]

@@LoLeQ88 I figured it was about 10 years ago. My wife bought me a bottle when it first came out. I went through it pretty fast. I got a second bottle, and used about 70% of it and gave the rest of that bottle to someone who had complimented me about it. I’m now about 50-60% through my third bottle.

[@mavericklewis4392]

I purchased it when it was first released. Thanks for the input.

[@harpalchauhan428]

Thank you always wanted to get it but avoided because i heard it was not the same anymore. Have had victor rolf spice bomb extreme from 2019 and loved that and if Aaron's thinks its pretty good will defo by for my summer rotations.

[@golfbuddy1969]

@@harpalchauhan428 it’s actually my favorite in the line…and I have Extreme and Infrared too. It’s not really a warm weather scent- much better for cooler weather.

[@phantomspaceman]

Thank you for explaining "why" this is a spice bomb. It helps me understand how this smells so different from similar fragrances with the same claimed notes.

[@Memfys]

I get great performance with this one. Almost a whole day with a fair amount of projection all the way.

[@michaelbaez8417]

Excellent review Aaron. SpiceBomb is one of my all-time favorites. Always keep a bottle since it's release. Absolutely love it.

[@siegfriedo]

Your are miles above any other fragrance reviewers I have ever watched on YT. Love your professionalism and prudence. Please keep these coming. 🤝👍

[@SuperLarryF]

ATH gives the most informative breakdowns of a fragrance. I am learning so much from you. As for Spicebomb, I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!!! It checks all the boxes for me!!! I have worn it for years. I have tried Spicebomb Night Vision and Spicebomb Infrared. They are just okay to me. The original Spicebomb is the best one!!!

[@lonblank648]

I have the Spice Bomb Extreme EDP, wonderful projection and sweet/spice scent. Sort of reminds me of the Tom Ford Noir Extreme. I often choose between the two if I’m in that mood.

[@daniellabuda7744]

Phenomenal review. I get even more inspired in perfumery. Thanks.

[@LoneRider_101]

£47.20 for 50ml at John Lewis today. They are having a sale. Picked up Dior Homme Intense, Prada Luna Rosa Black and Bleu de Chanel EDP. Bashed the plastic. 100mls should last me to the next Black Friday 😁

[@M82RKY]

Really? 4 bottles in a year? Heavy on the trigger?

[@LoneRider_101]

Better to overspray than not enough. Used daily with frequent top-ups 🤗

[@AodhanBulger]

Never been much of a fan of this one. My favourite spicy fragrance for men is Opium pour Homme, so my standard for such fragrances is pretty high - I haven't come across one that beats it.

[@albinadolfsson4437]

Great review! Please do a review of a fragrance from 'Profumum Roma' Would love to see what you think of them.

[@teok8855]

Have you tested Mancera Instant Crush? I am curious to know your thoughts on it.

[@hassanaslam8487]

It was a beast but got reformulated around 2018, now it lasts 4-6 hours with 1 hour of moderate projection

[@steven1241]

It was reformulated 3 times. The first time it was reformulated was around june/july 2014. Then again in 2015 and again in 2018. First reformulation smellwise it is very much the same but weaker. 2015 reformulation is alot worse.

[@caseykronos]

you said those big scientific words and I immediately subscribed

[@gabrielswalsh]

Hello aaron could you do a dior homme parfum review? Greatings form Brasil

[@TheMolleke]

yes please it's the best designer ever created

[@finerthings46]

sounds re formulated. I had a release bottle and was very heavy and strong, and more of a cinnamon feel to it. Think i will get a new bottle and try it myself, nice review pal.

[@dylandelaney5744]

"Weapon of mass seduction"... think I've found myself a new nickname

[@samyyyyyyy]

Its been reformulated badly unfortunately - I have a 2012 batch, its insanely good and powerful! Compared to the 2019 batch, its a shadow if its former self. Great review as always Aaron!!

[@alexanderm8476]

Taking shite

[@aleksavujacic]

You need to do a review on Lalique White in Black, and compare it wirh PDM Layton, i think it is very similar and i wanna know your opinion on both and how good and worth they are🖤🖤🖤

[@rickytomatoes]

Another masterpiece from Olivier Polge.

[@HalfHarry]

Can you do Spicebomb night vision edp?

[@Lamby1010]

As a spicebomb virgin which one would you recommend? I don’t like woody coffee scents .

[@sPidX1]

No coffee in there 👍🏻

[@Lamby1010]

@@sPidX1 👍thanks

[@ferucciop9739]

Aaron please do Orto Parisi Megamare next. I’m interested to see your opinion, I’ve not smelled anything like it

[@jamestan4165]

The best perfume reviewer on KZbin. Always enjoyable. Always educational. I liked Spicebomb a lot but I really think it's a less classy Chanel Egoiste which to me, is a stronger more sophisticated Spicebomb. Thanks for the review Aaron!

[@OsAbliNgin911]

This is the best Spicebomb and the only one made by Olivier Polge.

[@mrserious9619]

Aaron thank you for the amazing and very insightful content. Now that that’s out of the way I would like you to do a review on Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir. I wonder what are your thoughts on the fragrance that I rather enjoy. I suspect that you will enjoy it as well since it’s right down your alley in terms of an oriental fragrances. I really hope you will give my proposal some consideration. Thank you in advance.

[@lindz151074]

I'm buying an oil version of it so hopefully more beast like 😊

[@SenerS10]

They should release original strong formulation as Vintage again.

[@chrislimcoro4508]

Your thoughts of the 2022 batch?

[@necaa07]

Will you do a review of Molecule 01 I saw u had it on instagram a few months ago and you said you would review it, but never did

[@tomhallofficial]

Spicebomb or azzaro most wanted?

[@camesjory]

"Pull the trigger"?? -marketers Nah... "Pull the pin" -hopefully not just me

[@nightlore000]

I have infrared edt 😍 get a good 12hrs on my skin ..

[@uberdriverx-pv6uc]

Infrared and night vision are so amazing

[@bagofsoup8199]

Ethyl methyl better be whipping through the base 🫰🫱👋🫳

[@jerroljulian]

IMO, the original is still the best. I’ll always have the OG SpiceBomb in my collection.

[@FRD-HDD]

Although I do like SB, L'Occitane Eau des Bavx is simply better.

[@JoinTheProgress]

There was a scent..."1899" if I recall correctly...that "did Spice Bomb better than Spice Bomb." I own it and regret I can't recall the house/brand. But I felt it was much better. I appreciate you reading all that, I'm not sure how much you enjoy it (lol), but we do. And "wow," that was a load of information, it was fascinating. Mostly over my head, but it's still way-interesting. Huge Cheers!

[@frankp1648]

The brand is called Histoires de Parfums

[@JoinTheProgress]

@@frankp1648 Yup, that's it, I knew I'd recognize it the instant I saw it. Haven't tried anything else from them, despite having a fairly large line as I recall. Cheers.

[@NeapolitanApe]

I wonder what that chemical is? DMT or something I'm guessing lmao.

[@manoplas911]

First !!!

[@boongyify]

Severely watered down but still good

[@1Nevergone]

Interesting but waaay too much technical detail. Keep it simple as you're not talking with chemists.

[@zahubshahid7944]

Way too many perfume KZbinrs talk at an incredibly surface level about these things. Let Aaron be original.

[@1Nevergone]

@@zahubshahid7944 he can do what he wants, just put an opinion out there. You going to pretend you understand all the chemical explanations or have any reason to need to know any of that? There's a difference between giving a semi-technical answer and doing deep dive in the chemistry that 99.9% people are not going to understand or have a need to understand.

[@zahubshahid7944]

@@1Nevergone Your ignorant ass didn't give an opinion. You straight up told Aaron how he should be delivering his content. Now that I've called you out on it, you're trying to backpedal and say "iT's jUst My oPinion" stfu and gtfo of this comment section.

[@1Nevergone]

@@zahubshahid7944 hahahahaha! Ok, you seem nice. It was my opinion, sorry you’re so but hurt over it, child.

[@lb8132]

Aaron is on another level with the explanations. I enjoy watching Aaron because I learn about the science of fragrance creation despite having zero interest in this fragrance. Well done!

[@ottootto2859]

Scent wise this is a masterpiece created by Olivier Polge the now head perfumer of Chanel and creator of Dior Homme (2005), D&G The One and Invictus...

[@gipsasl]

How would you compare D&G the one and Victor and rolf spicebomb edt?

[@lancelotc2100]

Both are pretty nice. Spice bomb is the more better smelling

[@curlyhairdudeify]

​​​@@gipsaslThey are complete opposites. Both are equally as good. Both are equally as sweet. Both are completely different; The One is sweet and soft and Spice Bomb is equally but with cardamom and a "cedar tree" (Christmas) vibe. I have both. Viktor and Rolf is if you want that Christmasy and cardamom vibe; I use it year round.

[@fabricliver]

Viktor and Rolf 'Spice Bomb' and Dior 'Spice Blend'. The first one, mass pleasing while maintaining its strong character The second one, niche, unique and still down to earth Two masterpieces of our time

[@LoLeQ88]

they both are very different scents i dont really think they are compareable

[@fabricliver]

@@LoLeQ88 they are the exact opposite indeed

[@jesussalas4974]

I didn't like Spice Blend at all. But I love Rehab from Initio. I heard 1899 was really good as well. Or 1889 I forget lol.

[@neilashton9244]

Great review as always Aaron, I do enjoy the viewpoint from a perfumer. I like spicebomb but the spicebomb extreme is on another level, way more rich and lasts an incredibly long time on me. Smells like Christmas 🎄

[@Memmaao]

Nearly everybody hyping the extreme. For me, that's a vanilla heavy scent with way too much cumin in it. On my skin, that one works bad. The OG is another coffeeshop! It's a beautiful scent! One of my favorite from Olivier Polge. Aron! Keep up the good work, your videos, your attitude and your personality is something to cheer me up anytime!

[@jdmb03]

Aaron had me at 'mass seduction'. LOL

[@peekukthefrog]

I could listen to Aaron breaking down fragrance & chemistry everyday for self therapy.

[@gaara2960]

This Perfume is one of the best formulations in perfumery. Absolutely perfection of Perfumerswork. It inspired me to make perfumes by my own also. Very brilliant Sillage and nice grapefruit undertone in the base from Nootkatone.

[@SD._]

I agree. It is natural smelling for its price point,!

[@tarikmidzic5500]

For me this one lasts for two days with only three sprays, insane projection and longevity, guys and girls regularly complimented me on this one

[@I_will_show_you_monkey]

Daaaaaaaaamn!!!! How oily is your skin?😂 sheesh

[@lonewolf7650]

For me it lasts 2 mins

[@bjluna78]

Hands down the best reviewer on KZbin! Thanks for all you do!!

[@properfpv7160]

I was at the laundromat with my headphones on doing my laundry the other day, a woman tapped on my shoulder to tell me “Oh My God! you smell yummy!” I haven’t smelled the original but I was wearing Spice Bomb Extreme. I’ve gotten more compliments wearing that one than anything else. I’ve gotten the “yummy” compliment only from SBE even walking past women outdoors. It’s also the only one out of 30 or so fragrances that I’m well into my second bottle of. Banger for sure! 👍👍

[@YorkshireTraveller]

Spicebomb Extreme is a compliment bomb.

[@adl6907]

Spicebomb=🤮🤢

[@annazraf]

How are the people in the comments sounding like they’re perfumers themselves! Love it!

[@JapeYow]

Still love watching your reviews! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I wish I could dissect the aromas and chemicals of a perfume just like you! When you explain how a fragrance is made, it's almost like you have music and colors going all around you! Thanks for sharing your brilliant mind!

[@sPidX1]

Wearing this today and it pops up on my feed….sometimes I swear you’re watching me G👀gle?! 🧐😄 *still one of my absolute favs!

[@OmarZ77]

I suggest you try Boucheron Jaipur next. It is the true ‘spicebomb’ in my opinion. And exceptional blend for an unbeatable price. Both EDT and EDP are fantastic but I slightly prefer the EDT.

[@chrisscentsillage5321]

I have all Spicebomb line + Jaipur edt and edp. To me the closest scent to SB is Histoires de Parfums 1899, more refined and better quality, absolutely amazing...

[@hworth3]

Gotta love how he educates and describes the scent. He and Redolessence are experts at that.

[@timmackenroth148]

Hey Aaron, superb review as always! Have you considered reviewing sboy by draco? Its a parfume by the Brand of the rapper soulja boy and has generated a lot of social media hype. Its trying really hard to sell itself as a luxurious niche parfume. Its incredibly expensive tho and I‘d love to see a critical review of yours where you talk about the price and if it is justified in any way, just like you did with the Jeremy Fragrance scent Office for men. I loved the pure honesty ❤

[@WaelAKamel]

Aaron, you have no idea how soothing your videos are, I recently got laid off and I keep myself busy till I find something new with your videos and its a hobby I enjoy. Thank you for being a kind and generous man with your knowledge and beyond.

[@jjb2203]

Can you review Ytzma Royal Crown by any chance?

[@JoseRamirez-uz6lg]

A review on Bvlgari Tygar would be great!!

[@cheekster777]

Owned this since launch, a favourite of mine. Thanks Aaron.

[@kyttapo]

Aaron I need your personal choice between SPICEBOMB EdT & SPICEBOMB Extreme. Who is the absolute winner of this battle? And why ... Love from Greece!

[@TheMrtastee]

If you really like this one you should give a try to Initio - Rehab, It is the "niche" version that is longer lasting and thicker.

[@Charlie-ly5sd]

I 100% agree. However have you tried 1899 from Histoire de Parfums? I heard is in between Rehab and Spicebomb?

[@justinlowe6316]

Is your shirt portraying the molecular structure of THC? Love it!

[@adl6907]

Spicebomb smells like Dracula´s Castle

[@garrettmaguire9247]

You and chris at fragmental are the only 2 I respect for reviews on fragrance. Always honest opinions

[@Coluboi90]

I'd love to see your views on the OG Viktor & Rolf fragrance 'Antidote'. Thats got an array of notes plus its very different to there future with Spicebomb et al.

[@PoeticSonic]

damn, i haven't watched the videos on this channel for a while and suddenly the audio quality was bumped up by multiple tiers!

[@idahoplantguy9027]

I think Aaron may be trapped in his script and wants out. Lol. "are we engaged with our higher self" 😑 "let's get testing".

[@hrpickinstuff]

Invictus and Spicebomb are instant classics.

[@KEDAMONOISTHEBESTFRFR]

Very in-depth and knowledgeable explanation of the different types of Musk, really impressed by Aaron knowledge on this matter

[@konstantin3101]

I believe “extreme” version of this is that beast, not that expensive btw

[@hoogravennoordconnections2586]

I had spicebomb extreme and absolutely love it, should i try the edt instead of the edp

[@Flamma777]

Hell ya The dry down on the edt is really freaking good

[@James7995]

I just got my third bottle, the 5oz this time. Call me crazy but I love wearing it to bed. I wear it during the day too, but I’ll often spritz it on before bed.

[@Riversdoc11deff]

I do the same ! If I tell this to anyone or maybe my sister or mother, they will call me crazy . But I really love to wear this ( and sometimes SBE), to bed .

[@bassacoustic1549]

Costa Azzura Acqua is my favourite bedtime scent 😆 light and refreshing. I think it’s discontinued so I probably shouldn’t use it all up when I’m not even conscious. I like Spicebomb too but don’t own it unfortunately. From what I remember it was quite similar to Bvlgari’s Man In Black and of course the brilliant Spicebomb Extreme.

[@amenesty999]

The blessing: The greatest and best smelling men fragrance in the world. The curse: It lasts 30 mins.

[@TevinC814]

My 2017 batch is long lasting especially on clothes.

[@Layput]

It's very similar to Pure Havane or Pure Malt

[@andronicos94]

Spicebomb was created by Olivier Polge, son of Jacques Polge who created Égoïste. Is like a younger version of it.

[@jasonmfalconer]

Great video showing the mainstream compositions. Was so sorry to see your t shirt chemical formula wasnt Ethyl Moltol Aaron....

[@ThisisFerrariKhan]

I know it’s called Spicebomb but whenever I smell it, it smells more floral than spiced. Both versions, the EDT and VR. Maybe me nose is broken 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@apothe6]

One of my favourite scents. I dont know what I'm smelling, I think its pink pepper, it is by far my favourite note. I only want pink pepper colognes now.

[@zahubshahid7944]

Hey Aaron, what's a cinnamon scent you would recommend for a beginner like myself when it comes to perfumes? Also, I'd like to see you review Stronger with You Absolute.

[@doiteffortless8396]

Would love to know your opinion on Armani code parfum. Also we’d love more info on your fragrances. Thanks Aaron. Peace and blessings bro 💯

[@davebee70]

Would love to see you review Amouage Imitation Man. Can send you a sample if you want! Thanks

[@gipsasl]

Hi Aaron.I've just recently bought D&G The one,which is not super exciting but i like the balance between freshness and sweetness. I would like to try some of your sents,but can you recommend a scent that is the closest to The one? Love your passion and excitement! If not you maybe someone in the comment section can help.

[@Shawn-gw7ns]

One of my all time favourites, probably the fragrance that made me deep dive into trying as many fragrances as possible.Now learning perfumery years later and love it☺️☺️

[@Danwel1234]

Please review the house of Argos! I heard Triumph of bacchus and Danae are amazing

[@jodee8831]

This is a good scent... and I reach for it from time to time... I feel like it's success, like Aventus, is it's downfall ... I've smelt this on so many men

[@daddyty9083]

Terrible frag. Smells like tobacco vanilla. Potpourri

[@darthdeluxe_1]

STILL the best Version!!! 🔥💪

[@katiacarcamo68]

Spice bomb extreme is my favorite. Maybe you would like that one more than the original.

[@oscarpalm4863]

For a moment there I thought he said "bergamot", had to rewind and listen again. Maybe one day...

[@lvcheather]

I’ve still got a half full ten year old bottle and it runs laps around the current juice

[@goldtutch]

I have the extreme version but this is my next purchase, it smells like cookies

[@andrespeten3844]

So...? it is ATH approoved ?? : ) my guess is YES
