- Viktor&Rolf - Spicebomb Eau de Toilette - Woody & Spicy - Cologne for Men - With Notes of Citrus & Tobacco

Bought for my husband. He likes its warm spicey notes. Product seems authentic. Great price compared to department store prices.

Received the cologne today and it smells like what it's supposed to BUT when I opened the package the first thing I noticed was a VERY strong odor and it clearly had leaked some (not a ton but enough to leave wet oily residue on the top cap and surrounding area, and side, insomuch that some of the black PAINT on the chain to the medallion was coming off!) and the BIGGEST issue IMO is that someone has CUT the Viktor & Rolf Secret Service code off from INSIDE THE BOX with a razor!!! This was like this DESPITE IT BEING WRAPPED NICELY IN PLASTIC! I don't know about everyone else but I have not seen this with cologne's from the department store! It kind of irritates me because somehow I doubt that V&R would be cutting out the code in the inside of their boxes in a sly manner and in such a way to minimize notice of it. In other words, smells good, but it just smells bad in the way of potentially NOT being a genuine product!!! If I'm wrong I would love to hear from the "Viktor & Rolf" seller about why the codes are cut out and the boxes rewrapped all nicely as if they came right off the bottling floor. I have also never seen genuine products come with mess all inside and oily residue. Would love to hear an explanation because as it stands now its just sus. Be warned. It DOES smell very good but just doesn't smell right, lol. I will try and upload pics and I should also note that there is a code on a barcode on the outside sticker on the wrapper but that just weird it would be cut off with a razor by hand. REALLY weird. Will update later if there is a reasonable explanation for this. Kind of sucks, too because I was going to order another variety but I'm not that sure about it at this point.Also want to note that A LOT of buyers are saying the boxes are wrapped nice and look authentic (probably are) BUT they look old and well worn! Mine is no exception! See pics! I would give 3 stars because it smells really good but I doubt authenticity. I place 5 star so people will SEE what I am saying.

It's smell so good I want to order an another one

Gave this fragrance a blind buy based on the great price, (around $70), and the fantastic reviews I have read on it's scent. After reading many bad reviews of fake products being sold and my unfamiliarity with buying colognes/perfumes from Amazon, I was quite skeptical... Also read some reviews saying the fragrance was reformulated and does not last long or have great performance. When I received this in the mail I was so excited to smell it because I love scents that are more manly than fresh with that woody, spicy, citrusy (but not old) smell that I have read so much positive feedback about for this cologne. I watched a video on Youtube about real vs. fake versions of this cologne and mine had everything going for it in the authentic department. The bottle is so cool and unique, I love the name, and the smell........ my GOD, it smells better than what I had hoped for. The name Spicebomb is totally relative to the nose on this. Spicy, but sweet. Dry, yet tangy. Really smells fantastic and it just mellows out slowly throughout the day always smelling great though. As far as longevity and performance, I usually spray each wrist and two on my neck with most fragrances. With this one I can get away with one spray on my wrist and rubbing it slightly on the other, and one on my neck and I smell amazing. So far after two days, I have gotten around 6-8 hours with two sprays. Maybe it is my skin and body chemistry, or maybe I got a bottle that wasn't re-formulated, but this stuff is seriously awesome and the performance is great. I am in love with it and would highly recommend buying this.

Smells original but bottle came with small issues, but otherwise 👍🏻

2 questions: is it authentic? if it is how old is this product? 1: I was one of the individuals wondering if this cologne is authentic or not. I even posted a question about this item asking regarding its authenticity. When I received the product I compared the bottle with my previous bottles I purchased at Bloomingdales and It is the exact copy. It is authentic, just make sure to purchase from "sold and packaged by amazon" and not a third party. The weight (of the bottle and the clip holding the head), the details, the stickers and everything seems original. 2: I checked the serial number of the product to check the freshness and the date (I tried 2 different websites for this). I ordered the product mid October and it was produced on March which makes the product about 7 months old. Department stores do not sell colognes after 6 months from the date of production but the expiration is up to 30 months. My suggestion: For someone like me who would finish this bottle in about 4-5 months it is totally worth it to get over 30% discount and purchase something just a month older than the standard of a fine department stores. That means I will be done with this cologne after a year past production. If you don't mind the $50-$60 extra (or if you would like the extra lotion or travel bag you might get for free) then go to a department store but make sure to check the product code and get one that is only a month old. Don't go in a department store and purchase something that is 6 months old and pay $60 extra to not get a 7 months old from Amazon. Doesn't make a difference if you finish the product at 1 year or 1 year and 1 month. You can get the product code/serial number at the bottom of the bottle on a sticker or at the bottom of the box . It is a 7 character code (includes both numbers and letters), typed in white color. Then go on checkcosmatic or checkfresh websites and enter the code. you will get the production date. Good luck.

I’ve smelled a lotta colognes in my day. But Spicebomb? This stuff right here… this is different. You put this on, and it’s like your confidence just hit the gym, did 50 pushups, and walked out with a leather jacket in slow motion. It’s bold, it’s masculine, it’s got that warm spice that says “I mean business,” but still smooth enough that people lean in when you walk by like, “Yo, what’s that?” Boom. Spicebomb. It’s not overpowering, it’s classy power. Smells like success, date night, and a fresh start all at once. I wear it, women love it, random strangers compliment it — I can’t even pump gas without someone asking what it is. If your goal is to smell like the leading man in your own movie this is it, bro. Spicebomb. Boom. Game over.

I admit I jumped the gun before I did Due Diligence on this Amazon bought Spicebomb. After I bought this bottle on Amazon I did copious amounts of online research AFTER THE FACT and I was literally sickened about the vast quantities of FAKE inauthentic bottles of Spicebomb out there. Some even making their way onto Amazon. I spent days researching this because this product isnt cheap and there is NO Return Policy. I know..I TRIED to get a refund. It was two hours WASTED on Customer Svc with Amazon. Got the run around. I was ill with anxiety that I wasted a hundred bucks on something that I should have done research on BEFORE. Anyway, i got the bottle today and jumped on YouTube and did research and I saw a video doing a side by side comparison of a genuine article alongside a craftily manufactured fake Spicebomb. I followed the video carefully and i am RELIEVED TO SAY that I have an ORIGINAL non-fake bottle. Whew ! Still I would now recommend that IF you are going to spend ALOT of money on this brand i would spend the extra twenty or so mark up and buy it at a reputable store like Macys instead of the excruciating anxiety I put myself through waiting for its arrival. The smell is pungent and slightly sweet...Hopefully the longevity is there. MY wife who worked at a perfume store said to keep it in a dark cool place and IN THE BOX to preserve its scent. HOWEVER I did research on the "Batch Code" stamped on the bottom of the box and it is 2021-01 Aged 2 years 11 months 26 days ! The product I purchased had printed on the box a '24' month freshness indicator. You do the math. So it is Original BUT past expiration . Next time buy THIS A COLOGNE at Macy's and make sure you look up the Batch Code before purchase.. Mixed feelings .
