Extremely good!
V&R Spicebomb Extreme was for me surprisingly love at first sight. Surprising, as I usually prefer fresh/aquatic fragrances that can be worn in almost any season on any occasion. Spicebomb Extreme, on the other hand, should in my opinion only be worn in winter, possibly even in late autumn. Rarely has a fragrance reflected a season so well: V&R Spicebomb screams Christmas, Christmas market, gingerbread, blanket.
But what does he smell like? At the beginning it more than lives up to its name with a very intense citrus-pepper note. Don't let this put you off, because after just a few minutes the citrus note recedes and cinnamon, tobacco, caraway and vanilla join in as stragglers. What on paper reads more like grandma's spice cabinet is in reality the best winter scent on the market for me. The multitude of spices never penetrate unpleasantly, they are always gently coated and throttled by the vanilla. What results is an incredibly attractive mixture that caresses the wearer and never emits vulgarity (like JPG Ultramale).
Shelf life (approx. 12 hours) and silage (approx. 8 hours) are absolutely excellent.
As a summer child I rather tolerate the cold season than enjoy it. V&R Spicebomb Extreme, however, makes this time of year a little more bearable for me, even stirs up some anticipation.
When a perfume influences me so positively, I have no choice but to give the magic 10

Hard shell, soft core
Rarely has the saying "hard shell, soft core" hit the nail out of the head better than in Dior's Fahrenheit.
When I think of Fahrenheit, I see a very masculine man, with hair on his chest, cool charisma, who at first glance is not liked by everyone...
