What Wearers Say
Rasasi Junoon Velvet

Another wearer likes its cozy, dry suede-and-vanilla drydown.
The second wearer dislikes the unusual minty, pine-like opening before it settles.
Another buyer finds the lipstick-like iris impression gets in the way of enjoying the green notes.
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb
One wearer enjoys the fresh spicy opening and cinnamon-and-tobacco drydown.
Another wearer finds its hot spices cozy in autumn and winter.
One owner finds the peppery opening too sharp despite loving the drydown.
Another owner likes how it smells on someone else but does not enjoy wearing such a spice-heavy scent.
The Verdict
Spicebomb is our pick for spice: pink pepper, elemi and grapefruit, then cinnamon, saffron and paprika, over leather, tobacco and vetiver. Junoon Velvet has none of the pepper or cinnamon. It opens on tomato leaf, a sharp green note, with vanilla and leather, then labdanum, clary sage, galbanum and orris. Its base is vanilla, sandalwood and balsams. It's a green-into-vanilla leather, and an interesting one.
