Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Extreme EDP
A legendary cold-weather powerhouse, Spicebomb Extreme is a sweet, spicy, and tobacco-rich statement scent that commands attention and seduces with its velvety warmth. Not for the shy or for summer days.
Acquired
Our Verdict - VR09 Spicebomb Extreme EDP
Spicebomb Extreme's explosive lavender-tobacco-vanilla combination is one of the most talked-about masculine amber-spicy releases of the last decade, and VR09 keeps that hot-spice character intact - the vanilla base here is a touch louder and sweeter than Viktor&Rolf's more balanced original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spicebomb Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Spicebomb Extreme is intensely warm, spicy, and sweet, making it ideal for cold weather and fall-winter wear. The heavy tobacco, vanilla, and amber make it too dense for most summer climates, but it can work in early spring on chilly days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its massive projection and sweet, spicy character make it best for nights out or romantic occasions, where boldness is desired. It is too loud and rich for office or athletic settings, but can be a statement in formal or casual evening events.

Autumn Winter

A hot, spiced amber-vanilla scent built for autumn and winter evening wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

A bold statement scent best suited to dates and evenings rather than office or sport wear.
