Discovering a fragrance that endures without overwhelming the senses can prove challenging, but one gentleman’s aftershave has reportedly become a consistent source of flattering remarks. The warm, spicy scent blends black vanilla with cardamom to create a fragrance that is sweet, woody and intended for daily use.
The Spice and Black Vanilla Eau De Toilette (100ml) is now reduced from £30.95 to £24.76 from Cremo, with the discount code CREMO20. The discount is available only until October 2.
The fragrance has been described as a contemporary and luxurious with an aromatic foundation and a touch of spice. The pairing of black vanilla and cardamom lends it a warm, sweet profile without feeling overly intense.

The fragrance is intended to be applied sparingly rather than sprayed generously. The brand suggests applying it after bathing while the skin remains slightly moist, with a modest amount sprayed onto the inner wrists to help release the scent, as reported by Mirror.
For those who prefer to layer their fragrance, the same Spice and Black Vanilla scent is also offered as a body wash, reduced from £12.95 to £10.36 with the same CREMO20 discount code. The shower gel produces a rich lather while leaving the same warm fragrance behind, making it a straightforward method to enhance the scent as part of a daily bathing routine. It is also claimed to be suitable for all seasons as it ‘delivers the just-right formula’, meaning users will feel hydrated as well.

The product has an ‘aromatic, soft, and warm essence’
For those seeking a more premium alternative, there is the Chanel Pour Monsieur Eau De Toilette Spray (100ml) for £112 at Boots. This one delivers a ‘fresh, woody aromatic’ scent, alongside ‘timeless elegance’, the description states.
On LookFantastic, the Armani Stronger With You Eau De Toilette (50ml) is available for £53.60, reduced from £67. It is described as a captivating fragrance featuring ‘spicy notes of cardamom and pink pepper’, combined with sage and chestnut.
The Spice and Black Vanilla Eau De Toilette (100ml) has received strong praise from customers, though. One commented: “I absolutely love this scent and highly recommend fellas! Great all year round cologne. If you’ve never gotten compliments on your fragrance, Thank me later!”
Another stated: “I have bought this three times already. I buy a lot of high end colognes, but this right here has to be put up there with those for sure. Long lasting, smells amazing and, for the price, this is a must have, especially in the fall and winter.”
Some reviewers, however, deducted stars and offered constructive criticism of the fragrance. One individual remarked as part of a lengthier review: “Lovely and affordable cologne that turns heads. Unfortunately, I got the spice and black vanilla 100ml bottle, which stopped spraying mid-bottle. I don’t know what caused the cologne (to stop) spraying… aside from the broken/faulty cologne sprayer, the product is worth every penny.”
On the whole, though, most buyers were satisfied. One person noted: “I get compliments left and right about how good I smell. It’s long lasting also, I can still smell it a day later before my shower. Highly recommend.”
The Spice and Black Vanilla Eau De Toilette (100ml) and Spice and Black Vanilla Body Wash can be purchased from Cremo.
