Spicebomb Extreme
Unlike the original, which is far spicier and more lively, the Extreme version is warmer, more rounded, understated, moderate, and mature. Having both the original Spicebomb and Extreme is not a mistake.
Both fragrances are for winter and evenings but not for the same occasions.
When to rock the original V&R Spicebomb: Winter and evenings. Hanging out, wandering around the city outdoors, clubbing, city holiday events. When not to rock it: Office, important meetings, whether private or business, school, or university.
When to wear V&R Spicebomb Extreme: Winter and evenings. Dinner parties, movie dates with your significant other, dinner, house parties with more mature guests, church, visiting her parents (phew). When not to wear it: Professional settings or anything related to work, school or university.
In short, Spicebomb Extreme is simply more mature. It doesn't have the dominating notes of paprika and pink pepper as in the original. Also in the original version, the vetiver is evident. There's no explosion of citrus in the opening burst. The notes of tobacco, vanilla, and bourbon add more warmth to the overall fragrance, while saffron still lifts it to keep it at least slightly sharp.
