There's been no reviews for this? Wow! Probably says a lot. Well I won't. Yes, consider this the preamble to what could be a three word review. 'A bad Spicebomb.' It's reductive to compare like that but this really is a shitty version of Spicebomb. I mean Barbour is a pretty iconic brand and all they could muster was a peppery opening and tingle of juniper which I thought was very on brand. Then it takes a detour into that preponderance of pink berry, spice nonsense and wood/amber/spice, sweet but ultimately hollow. Spicebomb is not hollow, how could I love that one so but be sickened by this? While acknowleging what a debt this owes to it's forebear? Well that is the fine line perfume treads between the sublime (not that V&R Spicebomb is) and the the ridiculous (which Barbour actually deserves to be called) It did trick me for a moment that it might've been the olfactory equivalent of the countryfile green, wax jacket or biker clobber they are famed for. Barbour missed a trick here and I think they could've made something really weird and wonderful, instead of something meh.
