I bought this thinking of my brother, but I loved the scent so much that I kept it for myself. To my taste, it smells delicious and is perfect for winter.

I just bought 5 perfumes from this line, and this is the one I like the most. I’m surprised the brand is still unknown, even to fragrance experts. I knew about 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 amazing.

It’s a well-crafted fragrance with vanilla and wood notes, with the vanilla standing out much more. It’s linear and doesn’t evolve over time, which isn’t bad either. Great for cold or rainy weather, day or night (office and nights out). I wouldn’t recommend it for summer. Longevity and projection are average (there are other Cremo scents that last even less). For $20, it’s a very budget-friendly option.

It’s a well-crafted fragrance with vanilla and wood notes, with the vanilla really standing out. It’s linear and doesn’t evolve over time, which isn’t a bad thing. Great for cold or rainy weather, day or night (office or going out). Not recommended for summer. Longevity and projection are average (there are other Cremo fragrances that last less). For $20, it’s an affordable and accessible option.

The best part is the opening: spicy mixed with the sweetness of vanilla. As it dries down, the spicy notes lose potency, leaving a flat scent that’s almost just vanilla. For the price, it has good longevity, about 5 hours. Unfortunately, I feel it’s the vanilla or the cheap ingredients that give me a headache after a while. They say it’s similar to Spicebomb Extreme, but since I haven’t heard it, I don’t know why.

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

It’s a real deal. Despite its price, it has very good longevity, something I didn’t expect. Totally recommended. It has an amazing dry-down, vanilla-based, and I also sense a bit of tobacco. Scent: 9/10, projection: 7/10, longevity: 10/10. It lasted 12+ hours on my skin.

Very rich, with a subtle and prodigious vanilla. It’s worth it for the price, though I think you should reapply around mid-morning. It’s a cheap and good substitute for Spice Bomb Extreme if your budget is tight. Soft trail, 2 to 5 hours of longevity. Nothing invasive about the scent. A very good fragrance for after a shower or right after getting out of the barber’s.

It’s exquisite! Longevity isn’t its strongest 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’s exquisite! Longevity isn’t 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 it’s true, it’s 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 since it’s an eau de toilette, it lasts about 2 or 3 hours, and I don’t mind; I reapply happily. I will definitely buy it again.

If true, it’s super similar to Spicebomb, and if a woman wears it, it’s even better. The scent is gorgeous; it made me fall in love with the cardamom, and that dark vanilla is totally different from the vanillas in women’s perfumes. The only downside is the longevity, about 2-3 hours as an eau de toilette, but I don’t mind—I happily reapply… I’ll definitely buy it again.
bonini
This is by far the perfume with the best vanilla I’ve ever heard. I was impressed by how delicious this fragrance is. After 15 minutes of applying it, the vanilla intensity drops to make room for the other notes. The price is a joke; the trail and longevity on my skin are moderate, but I don’t care given the price.
bonini
Without a doubt, this is the best vanilla-scented perfume I’ve ever smelled; I was blown away by how delicious it smells. After 15 minutes, the vanilla intensity fades to make room for the other notes. The price is ridiculous, and while the trail and longevity are moderate, I don’t care at all for that price point.

It’s extremely similar to Viktor&Rolf’s Spicebomb—a exquisite vanilla that captivates women once it dries down. It lasts about 6-7 hours and projects amazingly well.
