Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
A hot, spiced amber-vanilla scent built for autumn and winter evening wear.
Occasions
A bold statement scent best suited to dates and evenings rather than office or sport wear.
