Spicebomb Longevity Poll

It generally makes it through the whole work day on me. Diva-scale sillage, no, but more than a skin scent.

i heard this one was about to be or has been reformulated........

? ? ?

It must have already been. Some people have posted that it is "fresh", "fruity", and "femme". I am glad I did not get that version.

As far as longevity goes, I find I need to spray more often than with others. It would seem to last on me ~2-3 hours, max. Then it hides with very minimal projection. Not sure what others' results are.

On skin, get about 4 hours, clothing substantially longer. I think it'd be interesting to smell a flanker of spicebomb (intense), where the spices, tonka, tobacco, and Vetiver are all more prominent with greater sillage and longevity.

Are you talking about the vintage or reformulated?

LOL

Sounds like batch variations. I have 1284205. It has a black collar and black pin. It smells "more expensive". PM if interested!

I only had two full wearings, but I got at least 6-7 hours out of it, if not more...

Don't know the number of hours, but this one has lasts a long time.

Today is my second full wearing of my Spicebomb samples. It has been 4.5 hours since I sprayed it this morning and it is still going. Not as strong as the first hour, though; but still very detectable. I need a couple more wearings to draw a conclusion.

With all this hype I wouldn't be surprised if they released a limited edition gold bottle down the road haha.

I went with 7-9 hours.....Close to the skin is 10-12 hours.....Either way the longevity is Fantastic!!!

Wore it again today, confirming very low longevity. I envy those who are getting 8 hours from this.

I easily get 10+ hrs one of the reasons I like it so much

Im getting easy 10hrs, how many spray are you guys using?

I've tried multiple combinations and they all give a min of 8hrs easy.

8hrs: 2 on the chest, 1 on each side of the neck 4 SPRAYS

9hrs: 1 on the chest, 1 on each side of the neck, 1 on each wrist 5 SPRAYS

10hrs: 2 on the chest, 1 on each side of the neck and 1 on each each wrist 6 SPRAYS

Walking time bomb lol no pun intended :P

10+hrs: 3 on the chest, 1 on each side of the neck, 1 on the back of the neck and 1 on each each wrist 7 SPRAYS

I mostly do the 4-5 sprays.

I get some pretty crap longevity with just the EDT itself...when I use the shower gel and the shave balm also, it amps up the longevity to almost double. So, there's an option. :-D

I get 8 hours easy and it radiates decently. I got consistent wafts.

Lucky. I still don't regret buying my bottle as it's a great fragrance and I've decanted a bit of it into my keychain atomizer but I think it's obvious Spicebomb is a success and thus worthy of a stronger concentration to address it's only drawback, at least for myself and quite a few others, its longevity.

Spicebomb is weird. The topnotes are an absolute blast which put you in a huge scent cloud.
Quite cloying from 3 sprays (with the bottle, no sample sprayers). A friend of mine jokingly said that I "stink", but again he said it while laughing and he has a big mouth.
And might be a bit jaleous because he can't afford cologne.

We went clubbing and to my surprise I got some whafts. Not much though.
Around 6am we were drunk enough to go home.
I smelled my shirt and I could smell it faintly. No more projection or whafts but it was still there.
That was 8 hours after application.

My advise is to watch the trigger with this juice.
I actually don't like the cloying blast of the topnotes.
I think the huge opening might cause nose fatigue so the longevity and sillage might be quite good.

Enough projection for clubbing? I don't know, not really imo.
The problem is, when we get awesome stuff like (vintage) Dior Homme Intense in EDP concentration,
how can anything be equally satisfying?

Olivier Polge didn't deliver a finished product imo.
The opening is too much and the drydown doesn't really satisfy for me.
Those first hours make me feel like an attention whore, lol!
This should have been a more tamed EDP with awesome longevity and a right dosage of sillage.
Sillage when you are moving around like with l'Instant Extreme and DHI.

I guess the intense and cloying candy opening with the silent drydown fits the grenade marketing.
The question is, do we need to have a grenade explosion with the opening and nose fatigue or an unsatisfying drydown?
Aren't perfumers supposed to make people smell good instead of overthinking the marketing and trying to be artistic?
And why is this not called candybomb, if it's all about the topnotes?

I don't know. This is confusing stuff.

Yesterday, 3 sprays to the chest lasted 24 hours with strong whafts.
Today, I did 1 spray to the chest at 6am, and I'm still getting whafts of it 18 hours later.

Don't let your nose trick you on this one... lol.

Need an Edp of spicebomb, why only flowerbomb is getting the love

Moderate projection for the first 6 hours, then it becomes close to the skin for the next couple of hours. Though, it comes back alive with body heat.

I have dry skin that soaks up some frags.

I have never gotten good longevity with Spicebomb. I love the scent thought. I have the original, just in case their is a re-formulated version out there that I have yet to sniff. It lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin. Wish it would last longer as I really do enjoy this juice.

Nice fragrance, but it has low sillage and low longevity on me. It lasts much longer on clothing though!

one of those when you are so tired that you get home and go to bed right away... so 24 hours late - I just got up - I still can smell spicebomb in my clothes :O

6 sprays total, 3 at each side of my neck
