I kept asking my husband do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it and he finally said fine get it. I don’t really smell the vanilla and I am a vanilla girl, but I definitely smell the spices. It’s not a heavy, overwhelming patchouly kind of herb spice. It’s more like a little bit of cinnamon, a little zest of orange simmering on top of the stove during Christmas time. Every single time he wears it I tell him “you smell like Christmas” because I swear that’s what it smells like to me- Christmas, but NOT in a pine tree kind of way. LOL!

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.

Most Cremo products I’ve used have been great. Palo Santo is one of the first fragrances from Cremo that I have tried. It is fresh and pronounced. It lasts a lot longer than one realizes and is one of the premier scents for Cremo. True and true

The spice and black vanilla smells great to me. To me it smells like a pleasant pipe tobacco in the bag and the vanilla comes out more after a little while for a nice mix. On me it lasts a good 3 or 4 hours. A very manly pleasant smell. I also have the Italian Bergemot and it smells good at first but it only lasts an hour at most on me then the smell is totally gone.
