I’m confused. Their website says…
Hepcat sets the mood with notes of saffron, black vetiver, tobacco and oud.
That doesn’t sound like the notes listed on this site. Cherry and tobacco sounded great. Tobacco and oud not so much.

I’m going to disagree with the majority of reviews here. Spicebomb is among my favorite scents and this does not smell like it. Spicebomb opens with a strong bergamont blast that I absolutely adore. That citrus note is not present here. This is much more akin to Bvlgari Man in Black. Hepcat does have a bit of a synthetic scent to it, though in spite of this it remains very pleasing to my nose. Also, Phlur’s website actually lists every ingredient used in their perfumes which I have never seen a house reveal before. Sure enough, almost all their ingredients are synthetic but they boast this makes their scents eco friendly and sustainable.
Now, for the scent: imagine warm tobacco mixed with sharp, bitter cherry — that’s Hepcat. This is not a sweet fragrance and I appreciate that about it. I’ve sampled 4 of their scents and this was the best, followed by Hanami. I have decided to buy a full sized bottle of this.

Tobacco-y without smoke, feels very light on the skin…I really like this…love the opague glass bottle this comes in…there is a freshness to this…must be the vetiver…recommended…

Agree with rmf1112 below – this has notes like Spicebomb or Histoires Parfum 1899, but this is quite different.
This is dry, earthier, and more mature. Not playful or syrupy like Spicebomb. My sample was also smokey and slightly ashy. Piles of vetiver in the dry down.
Mix 75% Tauer Desert Moracain with 25% Spicebomb Extreme (maybe) and some additional woods and earthiness…. And your close to Hepcat.

I get the similarities with spicebomb, but the tobacco part, not the beginning so much as I am not a fan of that, but feels close the Gucci Intense Oud at the start, with a dusty feel from the saffron. Does remind of something else I cant put my finger on but kind of an old library feel. Like it so far, will update.
Update-
Dry-down is a nice dusty cherry tobacco, not sweet.

It is a pleasing scent, but smells very similar to spice bomb. Not worth having both.
Day 2 edit:
Yes – still spicebomb/bvlgari man in black – however, this develops more over time and has noticeably distinct phases. Overall, I enjoy this scent – and had I not smelled sb/mib, I would certainly pull the trigger on this, as it seems to be a better version of both. However, if you own either of the two (sb/mib) I would not recommend adding this.
