    I bought this thinking of my brother, but the scent was so delightful that I ended up keeping it for myself. To my taste, it smells delicious and is perfect for winter.

  2. Polydistortion

    I have just purchased five perfumes from this line, and this is the one I like the most. I am surprised that the brand remains unknown, even to fragrance experts. I knew of them years ago but wasn’t interested until a few months ago; what a pleasant surprise that I even decided to try their aftershave balms after shaving, and they are excellent.

  3. hernanegl

    It is a well-crafted fragrance with vanilla and wood notes, with the vanilla standing out significantly. It is linear and does not evolve over time, which is not a bad thing. Suitable for cold or rainy weather, day or night (office and evenings). I would not recommend it for summer. Longevity and projection are average (there are other Cremo fragrances that last even less). At $20, it is a very economical option.

    It is a well-crafted fragrance with vanilla and wood notes, with the vanilla really standing out. It is linear and does not evolve over time, which is not a bad thing. It is suitable for cold or rainy weather, day or night (office or going out). I would not recommend it for summer. The longevity and projection are average (there are other Cremo fragrances that last less). At 20 USD, it is an affordable and economical option.

    The best part is the opening: spicy combined with the sweetness of the vanilla. As it dries down, the spicy aspect loses potency and you are left with a flat scent, almost just vanilla. For the price, it has decent longevity, about five hours. Unfortunately, I feel it is the vanilla or the cheap ingredients, but it gives me a headache after a while. They say it resembles Spicebomb Extreme, but since I have not heard of it, I do not know why.

  6. It is a proper perfume. Despite its price, it has very good longevity, something I did not expect. Totally recommended. It has a wonderful dry-down, vanilla-like, and I also sense a bit of tobacco. Scent: 9/10, projection: 7/10, longevity: 10/10. It lasted 12 hours more on my skin.

    Very rich, with subtle and prodigious vanilla. For the price, it is well worth it, although I think you need to reapply by midday. It is a cheap and good alternative to Spicebomb Extreme if your budget is tight. Soft trail, 2 to 5 hours longevity. Nothing invasive scent. A very good fragrance for after a shower or when leaving the barbershop.

    Very rich, featuring a subtle and prodigious vanilla. It is well worth the price, although I believe one needs to reapply around mid-morning. It is a cheap and excellent substitute for Spice Bomb Extreme if your budget is tight. Soft trail, lasting between 2 to 5 hours. The aroma is nothing invasive. A very good fragrance for after a shower or straight out of the barbershop.

    It is exquisite! Longevity is not its greatest attribute, but for the price you can reapply without guilt. Its quality is very high compared to other fragrances at the same price or even more expensive ones.

    It is exquisite! Longevity is not its strong suit, but at this price, you can reapply without any guilt. The quality is very high compared to other fragrances at the same price or even more expensive ones.

    If true, it is super similar to Spicebomb, and if a woman wears it. The scent is beautiful; it made me fall in love with cardamom and that dark vanilla, totally different from the vanillas you find in women’s perfumes. The only downside is the longevity, but as it is an eau de toilette it lasts about 2 or 3 hours and I do not mind; I reapply happily. I will certainly buy it again.

    If true, it is incredibly similar to Spicebomb, especially if worn by a woman. The scent is lovely; it made me fall in love with the cardamom, and that dark vanilla is totally distinct from the vanillas found in women’s perfumes. The only drawback is the longevity, lasting about 2-3 hours as an eau de toilette, but I don’t mind; I happily reapply… I will certainly buy it again.

    This is by far the perfume with the best vanilla I have ever heard. I was impressed by how delicious this fragrance is. After 15 minutes of application, the intensity of the vanilla drops to make room for the other notes. The price is a laugh, and while the trail and longevity on my skin are moderate, I do not care given the price.

  14. Without a doubt, this is the finest vanilla fragrance I have ever smelled; I was blown away by how delicious it smells. After 15 minutes, the intensity of the vanilla recedes to make way for the other notes. The price is laughable; while the trail and longevity are moderate, I couldn’t care less given the cost.

    It bears a striking resemblance to Viktor&Rolf’s Spicebomb; it’s an exquisite vanilla that captivates women once it dries down. It lasts around 6-7 hours and projects incredibly well.
