"it's good".. cmon Chris.. I know it's probably a nice fragrance but we were all excited for this to blow us out of the water! Good on you for not being terribly let down and still giving it a fair review though! Can't wait to get my nose on it!
Thank you for your first impression. Sounds like one. I really need to get my nose on. It’s one of the fragrances. I’ve really been looking forward to.
I was definitely hoping to hear there was more incense coming through. Side note...it's crazy to see everyone wearing jackets in July. Our weather has been brutally hot. Tomorrow we're looking at a heat index of 100 degrees. In fact, I'm sitting here watching you because I'm trying to work up the courage to go out and mow the lawn! HA!
Really enjoy your content mate. Tested this on a strip yesterday, agree on the dryness. Looking forward to testing this on skin. My testing strip smells amazing today. Deep dry down is just so pleasant. Been after something leather that can dress down for a while. Hopefully this could be the one.
Hey Chris, I’m definitely interested. I am looking forward to the new Tom Ford Eau D’Ombre Leather. But it’s nice to have a variety of leather fragrances. Great video. And will definitely be getting my nose on this one.
I am really confused right now which one to go for.. Ombre Leather ot Spicebomb Extreme. Can you please help me with that ? My priorities are sensuality, seductive and making a statement.
@ hmmm…. It’s hard. Ombre leather is an absolute favourite of mine but I get better reactions from spice bomb. Leather fragrances can be divisive. Honestly, get both.
Im not buying loreal any longer. I found a bottle of an older batch of spicebomb extreme and its actually strong and beautiful. New bottles fade and sit so close to skin. Curious what kind of private brands make good extraits that are super strong just so no need to worry about performance at all. Or maybe arabian brands have the same scent profile but stronger
I've already sold mine because of the performance. It smells really good but it is so faint and close to the skin that I just wasnt satisified with it. And that's coming from someone who wesrs fragrances for themselves without too much concern for mass projection. The frustrating part is that the scent smells really really good but i just couldn't get enough of it even with the deepest and closest of sniffs. So - what's the point, in a world full of fragrances where there are better options? You don't have to look too far for that. Spicebomb Extreme will satisfy the Spicebomb DNA you're looking for. And if youre looking for a similar style of leather then I'd recommend Blacks Club Leather by Shay & Blue. It has added booze but to me it settles down to a similar scent profile as Dark Leather with much better performance.
Love the spicebomb DNA, kinda dissapointing designer brands are scared to make anything that has some edge to it, feel like this had a lot of potential, kind of like a luna rossa extreme is what i thought, will def still give it a try tho💯
Ah I’m very conflicted I only have spicebomb infrared Edp and I love it and I’ve never tried extreme so was gonna get dark leather but now not sure if to get dark leather or the OG extreme:/ need to smell both
Thanks for review! Helps us United States people lol! Know what to expect. You mentioned tar smell at top? People say that about Prada Luna rossa black! Which is great frangrance. Sounds good for fall/ winter.
Good evening sir, not sure if you read your comments but I need help!! My daughter is getting married and I will be walking her down the aisle. I am looking for some recommendations ( I don’t want to take the attention for her but I want something that can be memorable) I want to always attaché the memory of that day. I’m in Houston so it warm and humid but thankfully the wedding is indoors
I love this line, specially the SB Extreme! I’ll give it a sniff when available here. Always a joy to watch your videos Chris. Um abraço de Portugal meu amigo 🇵🇹💪🏻 come visit us! (the Algarve doesn’t count ahaha)
Chris a few months ago I seen you stroll confidently past call lane during day time in Leeds, tried waving at you but you was tunnel visioned haha. Top bloke though
Great review chris , it maybe just shows how great ombre leather really is, although i prefer stallion leather. I think this will be the cheaper option, so it will probably do well on release, but you do sound a little disappointed !
Sorry to be a law bore but that act was largely repealed in 2008. Notwithstanding, I agree with your sentiment. These RUclips fragrance reviewers hand out 9/10's like confetti.
Such a let down this one. I was expecting a rich DARK Leather note with the sweetness of Spicebomb, but it is so light, and no Oomph whatsoever. Very disappointed.
Finally tried this and I'm really disappointed, like you said the opening is really nice but nothing exciting, the leather is quite subdued. I thought the leather and "darker" elements would come to the front in the dry down, but there was barely any dry down, 1 hour after applying 3 sprays to my wrist it is totally gone and undetectable. What is going on here? It's almost faulty. So disappointed 🙃
Holy Crap! Did you realize your steering wheel is on the wrong side of your car? Just kidding, can’t believe you actually get to wear a jacket in July. I knew British summers were cooler, but we’re roasting over here in America this year. I live in Florida, so it’s been summer since April. Great review, you’re the first one to cover this that I’ve seen on the web. Sounds like a wait until the parfum comes out. Be well, hoping you get to 100K shortly!!
Was it like the leather in the new Bvlgari Man In Black Parfum? Also one of my most favorite leathers right now is Parfum d’Habit by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier. That one might pack the leather punch that you are after 👊
Spicebomb Extreme had been very badly reformulated. It used to be very beastly, it's now very muted. Maybe this is the case with all current Spicebomb fragrances.
Know I’m gonna take shine for this and I’m mainly just bustin balls joking, but….looks like that global warming thing isn’t so global huh?! While we had a super hot stretch here in Ontario Canada about a month ago, for the last month it’s been average temps at best. Anywho….another great review, think I might be more interested in this new Spicebomb, than the Extreme, mainly because I’ve heard it’s been watered down recently
The OG still the best, it's just a balance of warm and fresh, fruity playful and seductive mysterious vibe, so much better than extreme. If this one base on extreme, i think it would be same as extreme, can be cloying and hard to pull off unless we went back to ice age.
You are so blessed you get to wear a leather jacket in the dead of summer! Here in Israel, where I reside, temperatures reach up to 50 degreed Celsius in July - and it's not even August yet! I personally despise the summer and the high heat! Would change climates with you guys in the UK in a hot minute! You got no idea how lucky you are
Passing on this. Sounds totally pointless. Does most of what an already perfect and stronger frag does (spicebomb ex) but then adds stuff you cant pick up. No thank you.
I have made a decision as I am getting old and realising I will not be alive to use them all …I will only buy good ones and not money grabbing weak perfumes like this one
Ombre leather stanks!!!!my girl hates that stuff and most females I know but Spicebomb dark leather is a huge missed opportunity by Victor & Rolf it's light smells more like the og and projection is terrible longevity average the bottle should have had actual leather around it
This scent is to die for. It's delicious. Can't get enough of it. Really highly recommended!
Let's get Chris to 100k
He definitely deserves it! 👍🏻
@@richiejames6484 definitely. Justin Copeland too. Crazy still he not there yet too
"it's good".. cmon Chris.. I know it's probably a nice fragrance but we were all excited for this to blow us out of the water! Good on you for not being terribly let down and still giving it a fair review though! Can't wait to get my nose on it!
It is L'Oréal. what do you except
Thank you for your first impression. Sounds like one. I really need to get my nose on. It’s one of the fragrances. I’ve really been looking forward to.
Maybe you have to wait until the parfum version for the increase in the darker leather and incense
I found it very similar to Bvlgari MIB. I don't get great performance from it, very light on my skin. Extreme is still by far the best in the line
I love Spicebomb Extreme. Performance is amazing too no issues in that department and my bottle is from 2023. Cheers.
I was definitely hoping to hear there was more incense coming through.
Side note...it's crazy to see everyone wearing jackets in July.
Our weather has been brutally hot.
Tomorrow we're looking at a heat index of 100 degrees.
In fact, I'm sitting here watching you because I'm trying to work up the courage to go out and mow the lawn! HA!
I’m sure we’ll get an amazing Summer for a day or two 🤞🏻
This weather is perfect to wear like 20 sprays of Sauvage elixir 😂.

Agreed... I've got 2 different batches, the older one is so much stronger....very annoying
Check out Rehab by Initio
@@5litremania thanks
You can absolutely find stronger high quality clones. I've not looked into SBE but I know they exist
@@metas1779 yeah i figure any designer profile there must have a stronger arabian or smaller brand version of the same scent
I’m actually glad the leather and incense isint too much, I’ll enjoy this then
As always extremely informative and honest in your appraisal. As you were, I’m sure many others will be extremely intrigued by this one.
I've already sold mine because of the performance. It smells really good but it is so faint and close to the skin that I just wasnt satisified with it. And that's coming from someone who wesrs fragrances for themselves without too much concern for mass projection.

Congrats on your purchase. Quality video as always
Thanks for review! Helps us United States people lol! Know what to expect. You mentioned tar smell at top? People say that about Prada Luna rossa black! Which is great frangrance. Sounds good for fall/ winter.
Tried on skin today. Leather accord is subtle, but nice. Unfortunately, performance was not great at all.
You look really well mate. Looking younger. Thanks for the review 👍🏽
I've layered a variety of things on top of ombre leather but don't think I've ever tried sb extreme. I'll have to try that this Fall.
I dont know....Leather has never been a note that worked for me, it's so overpowering and stale smelling. I'm not surprised by your reaction Chris
The review i've been waiting for is here 🤩 Love that the review begins with an unboxing in the car. Shows the excitement 😁👍
I can’t wait to get this
Could u please do top 10 men’s floral fragrances ?
Love your british accent... cheers from Argentina!

Hybrid between sb extreme and ombré leather would be endgame
Spice bomb Extreme mixed with a bit of tuscan then? Sounds nice

Been excited to smell this!
Epic and honest review 👍👍
Bravo! Great honest video! I don't wanna even smell it 😅
Cheers!
What brand is your jacket
Another cracking video chris 🎉😊
Would love to see a video with your review of the chanel exlusive range. In particular chanel coromandel
Where can you even buy this?
The trades description act 1968 must not apply to fragrances. V&R calling this "DARK LEATHER" is very misleading.
Sorry to be a law bore but that act was largely repealed in 2008. Notwithstanding, I agree with your sentiment. These RUclips fragrance reviewers hand out 9/10's like confetti.
Great vid. What model Tesla do you own?
It's not a sort after fragrance, but how different and/or similar is Dark Leather from Gucci Guilty Absolute??
Where and when can I get it
Mate I love your jacket were is that beauty from ? I’m wearing sausage parfum today my new fav
Sauvage *😅
Spicebomb extreme mixed with tuscan leather sounds good but probably not happening by none niche houses.
Again nice content Chris 👍🏽
What a relief to hear incense isn't much there, I really dislike incense.
Such a let down this one.
I was expecting a rich DARK Leather note with the sweetness of Spicebomb, but it is so light, and no Oomph whatsoever.
Very disappointed.
Yeah lacks some oomph for sure.
Are you the actor who played Liam’s brother and great video btw
Blind buy for me , hopefully you hit 100k soon Chris your channel is by far the best on RUclips , and more importantly for me I fully trust you ,
Finally tried this and I'm really disappointed, like you said the opening is really nice but nothing exciting, the leather is quite subdued.

Thank you Chris.
Give it time, my fragrances always perform better after a week or so, giving them a bit of oxigen seems to help
A week is definitely not enough!🎉

Where did you get it from pal was in my origins
There is neesh haute tobacco made by christian provenzano.
I'll leave it there
Do you think this is redundant if you already got Spicebomb Extreme or Infrared Edp which also got a leather accord?
Probably. Both are better.
Why did they make it so weak? It smells fantastic but it’s like water, such a shame
Yeah unfortunately not potent enough
Spicebomb Extreme had been very badly reformulated. It used to be very beastly, it's now very muted. Maybe this is the case with all current Spicebomb fragrances.

climate change is better term
Closing in on 100K subscribers, Chris…
Wonder if it changes and gets stronger with maceration
I hope so!
More than likely. The first handful of sprays from a new bottle RARELY give an accurate representation of the final product IMO.
Where on earth did you get this from?!

Thanks so much

SPICE BOMB DARK LEATHER EXTREME
Glorious
The OG still the best, it's just a balance of warm and fresh, fruity playful and seductive mysterious vibe, so much better than extreme.
If this one base on extreme, i think it would be same as extreme, can be cloying and hard to pull off unless we went back to ice age.
Which one would you prefer, this one or Dior Homme Parfum?
DHP all the way!
@@FRAGMENTAL knew it🔥🔥🔥
Dhp destroys this and is strong enough
@@profound369 one of the best designer fragrance if not the best, smells like nishe more than the nishe parfums

Oof those rainbow satan flags 😏
This is weak as piss. 6 sprays and scent totally gone in 2 hours. Several people couldn’t even tell I was wearing a fragrance. FLOP.
Passing on this. Sounds totally pointless. Does most of what an already perfect and stronger frag does (spicebomb ex) but then adds stuff you cant pick up. No thank you.

We are here for Spicebomb not for Spicesutile.
❤❤
tbh it sounds kinda disappointing
Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely not interested.
I’d like to smell it but not a big fan of leather fragrances. Like the smell of leather just not sprayed on.
Yooooooooo
