Where to buy Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb in the UK
Seven UK retailers stock Spicebomb, and the 90 ml is better value per millilitre than the 150 ml. Here is what each size costs and which flankers are worth separating out.
Buying the biggest Spicebomb is the wrong move. The 150 ml works out at 58p a millilitre and the 90 ml at 49p, so the giant bottle costs you more per spray.

£44.50 against £86.25. Buy 150 ml at the 90 ml unit price and you would pay about £74, so the big bottle costs you roughly £12 extra on a purchase you made to save money.
Why the middle size wins
Seven UK retailers stock Spicebomb, which is among the widest we see. They do not all stock every size, and the 90 ml is the one they compete hardest on because it is the one people search for. The 150 ml sits at fewer shops with less pressure on it.
That pattern shows up all over the catalogue and it is why the per millilitre sum beats any rule of thumb. Bigger is usually cheaper per millilitre. Usually is not always.
The 50 ml is the one to skip unless you want it for travel.

£36.99 is 74p a millilitre, half as much again as the 90 ml, and it saves you only £7.51 at the till.
Do not confuse the flankers
Spicebomb has been around long enough to have collected several relatives, and they are separate fragrances at separate prices rather than variations you can swap between.
Spicebomb Extreme is the best known. It is a different composition, not a stronger dilution of the original.

Night Vision is another, and it exists in both eau de toilette and eau de parfum, which is a second fork in the same decision.

Each of these sits at fewer retailers than the original. Fewer shops means less competition and prices that move less, so a flanker will rarely be the bargain on the page even when it looks like one.
Is now a good time
Our record on Spicebomb runs only a few days, which is not enough to call a floor. What it can tell you is where today sits against the days we have seen, and the blocks above show that directly.
If the number looks high, an alert costs nothing on a fragrance stocked this widely. Something among seven retailers usually moves.
Before you buy
Match the concentration and the size before comparing anything, then compare that exact bottle across shops rather than trusting one retailer's sale label. The gap between UK retailers on an ordinary morning is regularly wider than the discount being advertised.
