No need to do an in depth break down of this fragrance. It smells like SpiceBomb.
SpiceBomb with a Vanilla & Wood blend that almost creates nuances of L’Occitane’s Eau des Baux. But stays more in a warm vanilla SpiceBomb territory.
Great smelling cheapie for Teens & Young adults who dont have ANY money to spend on fragrances.
Projection & Silage were non existent. And it became a skin scent within minutes.
I tried to take this frag for a spin last light, but it disappeared so quickly that i reapplied SpiceBomb & made that my SOTN.
Gave Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla to my Son….

Well this is embarrassing. I’m the first reviewer here and unfortunately I’m not good at reviewing as I struggle to ever pick up anything but the most dominant note. But there is literally no info here so I’ll try my best for you. I just got it in the mail and opened it. Since I already have Perry Ellis Dark Vanilla Absolute on I sprayed it in the air just to figure it out. I’ll try to update it again after I wear it for a full day tomorrow. I’m rather new with modern cologne so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I like vanilla in my cologne so I picked this up on Amazon for $23. The air spray does not have an overwhelmingly vanilla scent to it. For sure, it’s there but it’s also joined with spice and wood. I do pick up that bourbon vanilla. This is not a sweet scent to me. Right now this is a like but not a love for me. To me, if vanilla was created like whiskey in a wood barrel (uh, bourbon vanilla I suppose) and had a bit of Captain Morgan’s spice thrown in then I think this is close to what you might get. I don’t know what cardamom or vevitier smells like so that’s as good as I can do here. Bourbon smell but not heavy whiskey or alcohol. Simply nothing like any of the other vanilla cologne I own. Unique. Where I’m at it’s 85° with a life draining 100% humidity. This would be an awful choice for that weather. It’s a fall/winter cologne and I’d feel a bit wary wearing it on a hot or humid spring or summer day. I think I’d smell like an alcoholic with this in warm weather. Hmmm, this could be a very good scent around the holidays though. It’s nice but not interesting enough to be a first date, reel ’em in with your intoxicating allure kind of smell. Does that help anybody at all?
The bottle is clear with Cremo written in the front and sides but with the front side featuring a crown. There is a white sticker with red font that says spice and black vanilla. My sticker is a bit off-center and crooked. Kind of cheapens the overall look.
I can already tell I won’t be falling in love with this one but I think the current weather may be skewing my opinion. Does it make sense if I say it would be right in it’s element in a fall/winter camping trip where you find yourself drinking with your friends around a fire while holding your significant other?
Okay, I tried here. That’s all I got.
Update after wearing it for a day:
No doubt now that this is a fall/winter cologne. It comes in with a woody, mildly spiced, bourbon vanilla. It would actually be quite nice in the cooler months and I am now much more happy with the purchase. You know, vanilla in a male’s cologne is a tough scent to get right. Too sweet like Molinard’s unisex Vanilla and a guy smells like a high school, teenage girl with cupcake perfume. Get it right and you get Eros, Le Male, or Perry Ellis’s wonderful boozy vanilla. Well, this is a decent vanilla. Not too sweet with almost a hint of smoke with that bourbon vanilla. It doesn’t have beastly projection. Projection and sillage seem to be completely average. Remember that campfire comment from above about your girl sitting with you…spot on. Just right for the right person to notice. As it moves on through the day, it moves to just vanilla with just a hint of bourbon smokiness. All in all, I’ll be wearing this later this year.
So that’s it. My first solo review without any other comments to guide me. Now I’m ready for others to tell me I’m completely and totally wrong and hopeless when it comes to cologne. Lol. Who cares? I like it. Anyways, hope this helps. Good purchase for @ $23.
Final update: So I’ve come to find out in my process of learning about fragrances that bourbon vanilla is a type of vanilla and doesn’t necessarily mean booze. I now know i may have shown a bit of ignorance when it comes to fragrances and I apologize if I confused anybody. Yet, the actual smell and my description of this remains the same. Hey, I’m an amateur but at least I’m learning!
