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.

Viktor & Rolf spicebomb EDP Review

scent...9/10
projection..9/10
Sillage..8/10
Longevity...8/10

This scent is perfect on my skin and here's why...
It only resembles the edt version which in my opinion is a good thing, now I do like the original but I don't love it. The original has some fantastic notes with the tobacco and vanilla and spices but they seem rough around the edges and a little unfinished, the performance isn't an issue either but the extreme version takes it to the next level and rounds out the notes in the edt and amplifies it's best parts, namely the tobacco and vanilla and pushes the harsh notes the background. The edp also adds a creaminess or smoothness to the originals composition, which makes the edp feel fuller, denser and more complex as a result..
I have problems with nearly all fragrances lasting on my skin whether they are edt or edp but not so with this one, I get around 10 hours of longevity and 6 hours of projection which in my opinion is perfect. For me the two stand out notes are the tobacco and vanilla, although the vanilla can come off slightly synthetic it is still very well done and blends well with the tobacco, the tobacco I find more natural and very smooth..
Many have said this shares many similarities with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille but I just don't get that, the vanilla and tobacco are done very differently in each fragrance and both go in completely different directions.
So overall this is a worthy addition to anyone's collection and in my opinion an improvement over the original.

Spicebomb Noir

It's reminiscent of the original Spicebomb to me, but I'm not sure I would have called it Extreme. It seems more deep and dark than the original. Quite spicy, that's for sure. Spicebomb Noir would have been more fitting I think. ;-)

It reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on. My initial impression of the heart was that this could have been the lovechild of Spicebomb and A*Men Pure Havane. It starts out somewhat fresh spicy, but still it's more intense than the original Spicebomb.

I will do a side by side comparison with the original soon, to get a fair idea of performance on this one. To me it seems a little subdued compared to the original, but that's no surprise considering this is an eau de parfum concentration. They usually tend to be more dense and warm.

As for the bottle, I know many people find the grenade a bit tacky but I'm not bothered by it. But the colorscheme of thise one is definitely an improvement over the original!

Would I get a bottle based on this first impression? Well actually, yes, I think I would.

Works like a NUKE!

It smells complex but it’s not, it smells niche but it’s not, it smells rich but it’s not.
Powerhouse of spices that can fill your nose as soon as you smell it…
You won’t be able to smell every single ingredient clearly but whatever you’ll smell you are gonna LOVE IT.
Go for it…just avoid it during summer afternoon… keep it for the cooler evening.

The good, bad and ugly

I don't think I have ever been more excited about trying out a fragrance than in the case of Spicebomb Extreme, but in the end it was quite a big disappoinment.

When it comes to scent it is something special and unique. It's very good balanced between sweet and spicy and you really smell that fresh sweetness and vanilla with a little bit of cinnamon ,even though it's a bit more sweet than spicy and i like it a lot but unfortunately that's the only good thing i can say about spicebomb extreme.

One of my problems with this fragrance is that it stays the same from the minute you put it on until the end.

The biggest disappoinment is the performance and longevity of it. In my case it just isn't strong enough and it fades away to quickly. After around 3-4 hours there's like you have nothing on you anymore.

I dont recommend the spicebomb extreme to anyone because the performance is just to weak for the price even thought the scent is great.
