What wearers say
“Gosh i just LOVE THIS,really sweet spicy vanillish scent,bought this as a blind buy and can def say its amazing,Opening is this spicy sweet citrusy smell but as it dries down u can smell the vanilla in there.Beautiful smell,ABSOLUTELY Blind buy safe imo.However,it kinda lasts around 3-6 hours,def long lasting on the clothes but yeah.Sillage is okay tbh.Overall,Blind buy safe and smells amazing!”
“very sweet, opening is somewhat reminiscent of diesel's only the brave tattoo (mostly due to the tobacco and cinnamon notes scrambling to find their footing), this develops into a cozy but racy vanilla with fruits and slightly settles down into something warmer and spicier, but definitely not what i was expecting, although thats likely due to this being one of the more modern scents in my collection. Performance isnt great though, unfortunately, decent longevity but very intimate sillage.”
“Performance is impressive to say the least. The smell seems slightly synthetic opening but quickly balances out.I'd never smelled Ultra Male before, and bought this blind.My friend wore Ultra Male recently and it smells close enough for me to be able to guess what it was, that tells me all I need to know about Spectra. 1/4 of the price for far better value and the scent is certainly close enough if you're buying it for what it's inspired by.”
