Again...I'm not usually one to bang on about bottle design as with this one it's not hard to see how they came up with the name/gimic/branding. However it's totally insignificant if you like the fragrance...but the bottle resembles a hand grenade...how cool is that? Very I think! As for the fragrance? I've only had a small tester of it so it's not fair to give a final judgement and although it didn't instantly grab me (as I thought it would) it didn't repell me either. Not quite the explosion of spice I'd anticipated but I definitely mean that in a good way. A very nice balance that has a place in anyones collection.

V&R spicebomb Again another updated review...I instantly liked this when it came out but thought it was just okay and I'd bide my time before getting a bottle. Now that I have I'm absolutely intoxicated by it. I expected Spicebomb to be very extreme peppery and dry when I first Saw it, something I like but not when it's lacking sweetness or a citrus dimension or something else to lift it. This for me is a perfect balancing act of spicy, sweet, cinnamony almost festive mulled wine feel to it. Warming, subtle and gorgeous on my skin, huge projection and sillage for hours...a great fragrance and very definitely growing to be a favourite of mine.
