this was the most highly requested fragrance that you guys wanted me to review this is viktor
and rolf's spice bomb all depart from 2020. now if you watched my video from last year
you probably know that i was not a big fan of the edt and if you haven't watched that video i'm
going to pop it up here so you can check it out but will this be a worthy flanker better or worse
you guys want to check it out stick around let's do it what's up guys max forte with another
fragrance review today we're going to talk about and highlight the fragrance victor and raw spice
bomb o de parfum 2020 release now last year i did a 2019 edt i didn't like that fragrance too much
not because it was a bad scent per se it was actually a good scent but it was too similar
to paco rabanne's invictus slash invictus aqua it was a combination of both fragrances thereof so
it wasn't really something that i was looking forward to wearing
so much so that i don't even have the bottle anymore i gave it away
this one however is actually a much better fragrance and i'm going to share with you why
that is so this is available in two main sizes the one you see here is a 90 ml which retails for 120
and you have the size below which is 50 ml retails for 100 usd so essentially all of the fragrances
from this particular line will be kind of the same with the you know the grenade theme here
with the little clip sprayers are actually nice you get a really nice wide distribution this one
here all black with the strap that's green in the middle it says night vision viktorov or de parfum
you've seen one you've seen them all this is actually an oriental spicy fragrance i don't
know who the nose or perfumer behind this one is uh the scent itself though opens up
really really nice guys you guys know my taste i love my vetivers i love my oak moss
fragrances i love fragrances are woody spicy slash oriental and this is going to be an incredible
oriental spicy scent guys opens up very full very big very dark very rich complete opposite
from that particular fragrance in fact when you look at this particular fragrance and the edt
they are going against a different end of the spectrum nothing like the original spice
bomb or spice bomb extreme or or spice bomb cologne this is like a totally different genre
could have been an altogether new fragrance line for them but they decided to continue the flanker
spice bomb i guess trying to write the coattails of the success of spicebomb this is actually a
totally different fragrance than spice bomb you know night vision edt the other one is going to
be aromatic light aquatic bubble gum sweet this is going to be rich dark resinous spicy very full
as you can see here it's definitely another perfume it's very resonance it's very concentrated
and it's just going to grab you from holo if you guys love these type of scents it's going
to be one of those fragrances that is attention grabbing what i get with the opening here is
going to be a very fruity and spicy opening almost pepperminty i feel like there's a geranium slash
peppermint combination here with the black pepper some fruitiness i think there's a green apple here
so you definitely get fruitiness you get cardamom there's a huge dose of cardamom if you like
spicy cardamom you're definitely going to get that here and i also get a tonka vanilla feel
with cinnamon lots of cinnamon so spicy very bold very rich very big but definitely spicy
cardamom vanilla and tonka also present here and i think it'll ride the composition from beginning
to end that's that it's left that profile that sweet vanilla tonka that is very present
in the beginning is going to be here in the heart and in the dry down as well when you get into the
mid of the fragrance as you approach the heart of the scent you're going to have some herbal nuances
from rosemary from lavender and from clary sage which adds this greenness but also smoothness to
the fragrance which is quite enjoyable but again a little bit of an herbal feel here and a little bit
more mature as well still jovial still playful it's going to be very sweet not very sweet but
it's going to be sweet so i think somebody that's younger out there will still enjoy this but not as
youthful as the edt this is definitely a little bit more mature or sophisticated if you will as
you get to the drive down a few things will happen here the transition from the heart into the dried
out again the vanilla tonka will be present with the cinnamon sweet uh creamy but patchouli will
pay a little bit of a presence here as you get into the dried down with some incense but not
smoky at all just to add some character to the composition what i do get the most
is a little bit of a nutty feel from the pistachio note which is quite unique to this fragrance it's
a note that you don't see done much especially in the designer side of things but they did quite a
good job with this nutty feel that that dark not quite smokey but dark resinous is the the right
word here pistachio nutty feel that you get with this fragrance which is quite enjoyable guys the
performance here was actually not bad it pushes quite strong for the first hour or two it is
another performance so it will tend to stay closer to your immediate surroundings it's not going to
push as much as i know the toilet does but it does push quite nice it is a quite strong fragrance i
wouldn't do more than four sprays especially in the warmer weather in the wintertime you might get
away especially if you're outdoors three to four it would be you know the ideal spray routine here
but it is quite nice guys it's gonna push quite nice performs really nice longevity was eight plus
um cyage was amazing above average so performance not an issue here so all together a much
better set a much better constructed fragrance it's definitely a step up it's definitely a much
better composition and i like to see that spice bomb is actually going into the oriental territory
which i think they're known for and this is why we love them in the fragrance community rewards
that i would use to summarize the scent profile this is fruity it's spicy and it's resinous
so what does this fragrance reminds me of guys i always tell you guys what it reminds me of it
does remind me of anything i want to share with you guys so you kind of have a basis of what
the smell is going to be like so this to me is a spicier more resinous drier version of the sweeter
wanted by night from adzaro if you thought that was overwhelmingly syrupy sweet then you're gonna
love this one because the nuances i talked to you guys about the pistachio here the nutty facet
this is going to be a little drier not as juicy fruity sweet bubble gum and you know
overwhelmingly tonka bean vanilla like wanted by night you're going to enjoy this is a little bit
more mature than wanted by night a little bit more mature than a lot of the fragrances that
this is in the same vein it's not going to be an altogether groundbreaking or you know trendsetter
type of fragrance aroma or sand profile but what they did here is quite nice they actually came up
with the fragrance flanker that is what i normally gravitate towards a nicely spicy fragrance with
some different you know nuances that made it you know worthy of at least trying i don't think this
is redundant compared to all the different spice bombs in fact it's probably the most unique at
this point when you look at the whole collection if you like the original go with the original i
like the original the best but this is definitely my second favorite at this point even though this
has a darker oriental woody spicy facet balsamic nutty kind of feel i think you could definitely
pull this off all year round providing you control the sprayers if you're not trigger happy here if
you go two sprays or so when it's warmer out you might be able to get away with this i actually
wore this for over two months now so it was still you know it was still warm out in september when
i was rocking this and i was doing fine so if you control your sprayers you could do this all
year round this could be a signature scent but i think for my rotation and for all purposes i think
this is a better scent for evening wear as you would think you know with the name night vision
they envision you wearing this for the evening time i think for dressier occasions or going out
with friends romantic settings dinners so i think more conducive of evening dresser or nightwear i
think would be better suited for this particular fragrance my final thoughts from night vision edp
this is a really good release for 2020 perhaps in my top 20 favorite releases from the designer
world at this point which is not bad could probably creep into the top 15 not a bad release
for designers guys i actually really enjoy this one um even though it resembles you know wanted by
an eye i think this is actually better than wanted by in my opinion i really enjoy this one i like
what they did here it's quite a nice fragrance i think you should definitely check it out this
is readily available now so check it out or wait a little longer for it to hit discounters so you can
actually get it for a really nice price although with victor enroll fragrances they don't really
get heavily discounted even in the uh you know gray market as it were but a good one guys really
