      I hope they’ve done a good job with it! Like the bottle color too.

        Me too, though, I thought Spicebomb was just ok and not really fbw. I personally liked 1899 by HdP much much more and would love a full bottle, for me! Didn’t like it on husband much though, I prefer something more masculine on him.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spicebomb; in fact, LOVE it so much, I have the 5.0 oz. bottle…anyway, am interested in trying this Summer version the ingredients are intriguing. I usually DO NOT like Summer flankers [too weak for me] but this one has the potential to be woody/spicy enough to enjoy in the warmer/hot months without being overbearing. The only questioning factor is the addition of the sea salt…hmmm?

      Yeah…hope they have not actually made it aquatic.

        I agree with you Robin…hope it’s not another Acqua di Gio wannabe!…

        …also, even AdG warmed-up some, from the critic’s reviews, the original is too “high-school boy”, “immature” now; so with the launch of Essenza version, it is suppose to appeal to the “older” clientele…

            Curious about it myself; it won the 2013 Consumer’s Choice for the FiFi Awards of Fragrance Foundation…

            I think that the Essenza is pretty close to the original one, just less fruity and with a good performance on skin.

        A little salt may be interesting..but yes, hopefully, not a full blown aquatic, aquatics gross me out most of the time. Esp. Aqua Fahrenheit.

    Well shoot. I suppose I’m socially obligated to seek this one out, huh? Given that I *am* dating Mr. Spicebomb! I agree with Robin–sure hope they didn’t overly “blue” it with marine/ozonic notes!

      Well, it isn’t colored blue, so maybe that is a good sign.
