CremoCologne for Men - Spice & Black Vanilla Mens Cologne Spray - An Explosion of Vibrant Spices, Dark Woods and Black Vanilla, Fragrances For Men, 3.4 Fl Oz

The Scent:Spice and Black Vanilla is a beautifully masculine, natural scent that speaks of sophistication, style, and good taste. It's rich and fragrant without being overpowering—a perfect balance.The Compliments:When a beautiful stranger goes out of her way to say, "You smell really good—such a lovely scent and not too strong," you know you've picked the right cologne. That kind of unsolicited compliment speaks volumes.The Longevity:I’m not someone who needs a cologne to last all day. What matters to me is that within the first few hours, it turns heads—and this one definitely does. I regularly get compliments during that window, and I’m perfectly fine reapplying later with another spray or two.The Application:I typically do two sprays on the neck and two on the wrists, then rub my wrists on other pulse points. Each spray delivers a generous mist, so 4–5 sprays is more than enough.The Bottle:The one downside for me is the bottle design. I have large hands, and after showering and moisturizing, the tall, narrow bottle tends to slip in my grip. A shorter, wider design would be more ergonomic—just a suggestion to improve the experience, but definitely not a dealbreaker.The price:The price is also a huge plus—especially for someone like me who already buys Cremo’s shower wash, deodorant, and razor products. It all adds up, so I really appreciate that the cologne is priced with loyal customers like me in mind.The Verdict:I absolutely love the Spice and Black Vanilla scent and will continue to repurchase it. Highly recommended.

I put this as one of the items in my husband’s Easter basket and we were so amazed at how great this smells! It smells like if you were to take a whiff of a stack of leather bound books in the woods next to a pine camp fire and a buddy who has a nice vanilla tobacco pipe. It’s fresh and outdoorsy, while also being warm and manly. Reminiscent of an evening camping in the woods by a clear creek in spring or autumn. Honestly I couldn’t have imaged that a cologne at such a great price would smell this nice. (I liked it so much I even gave myself a quick spray). It’s actually a light scent, not overpowering at all, so it’s a good one to keep in your truck or in your drawer at work to give yourself a few good sprays to freshen up. My husband also has the Tom Ford Ombré Leather cologne and I’d say this is somewhat comparable, just a lighter scent and slightly more fresh (less musky). They’re both great in their own ways but for the price, this one can’t be beat!

These colognes off unmatched value, but they aren't perfect. They do NOT sit well on the skin, and reading other reviews I think that's the big difference between people claiming it lasts a long time and those that say it doesn't last at all. I noticed that when you wear this on the skin, any of the scents, they evaporate like crazy and is gone in an hour or two. But when you put it on your clothes, it actually lasts a really long time, easily all day and you can smell it the next day on your clothes as well (although it wont project much the next day).The scent, on my skin at least, is truly offensive, even to myself. As mentioned previously, it evaporates so quickly that you get that overpowering cheap cologne smell when applied to the skin. Contrast that to putting it on your clothes and the scent is actually incredibly smooth and delicious. It smells expensive and sophisticated. When applied to my shirt collar or sleeve cuffs, I find myself constantly putting my nose down to get a whiff. I will do this over and over throughout the day, it is intoxicating. Especially the Bourbon and Oak scent is just incredible on the clothes, but I find myself gagging and suffocating on the same scent when applied to my skin.The sprayer on this bottle is too big, it sprays a very wide cone and way too much volume. I get it, if we spray more out we will go through the bottle faster and re-buy it again, but I'd prefer a reduction in bottle size with a smaller volume sprayer personally. It is just too much with each spray. It also sprays really wide. Getting it on the collar is really hard unless you hold it right above the fabric. Even 4-5 inches away and you are spraying your whole chest.Now each scent:Spices and Black Vanilla: This is clearly meant to be a spicebomb dupe and it does a good job. Its richer in vanilla, but still has the smokiness to it, which I love. Overall I would describe it as sweet and spicy with a trailing note of smoke which will mostly be noticeable to those leaning in to you. It smells sophisticated and masculine, but not like you are trying too hard.Bourbon & Oak: I love this scent, it is my favorite (as long as it is on clothes, i can't stand it on my skin). It is mostly wood and smoke. The bourbon scent is there, but its in the back and its faint. The smoke is Traeger grill type smoke, not cigar smoke. This is a date night scent for sure. Girls will bury their face wherever you spray this (neck for me). This one doesn't project very far, so they will need to lean in to smell it, but again for date night I think that's what makes this good. Its overwhelmingly delightful for those that get close.Overall - I give the scents a 4/5. I give the value a 5/5. The projection is a 3/5. The longevity is a 3/5. The packaging is a 4/5 (loses a point for the high volume sprayer). I'm averaging it all out to 4/5 overall. I think this is a good Saturday morning/afternoon cologne or to spray on workout clothes or something. I would wear it to school or the office as well. For date night or special occasions I would probably splurge for something else. But i am not disappointed with this purchase and will probably try a few other scents. Yes its imperfect, but you can't beat the value for the price.

Fast shipping! This cologne smells awesome and has natural scents that aren’t weird smelling or overpowering. The blend is refreshing, smooth and uplifting! It smells like a really nice quality cologne that lasts hours at an affordable price and would buy again! Definitely recommend! Thanks

It is hard to describe smells through text and honestly i don't know what it IS but it does smell great and for 25$ i don't regret this purchase at all. I will buy one of each cremo scent in the future.
