Spicebomb Extreme
by Viktor&Rolf
Spicebomb Extreme by Viktor&Rolf is a warm, gourmand fragrance centered around sweet vanilla and smooth tobacco, with a prominent spicy opening of black pepper, caraway, and lavender. The scent evolves from an intense, head-turning blast of spice to a more balanced, cozy dry-down, making it ideal for cold weather. While some users report excellent performance and strong projection lasting up to 12 hours, others note a significant reduction in power and longevity in newer batches, with the scent becoming a skin scent relatively quickly. A few describe it as too sweet or cloying, while many praise its rich, sensual aroma and comparable luxury feel to niche fragrances like Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. It’s best worn on cool evenings or in winter, with higher spray volume recommended for full impact.
Pros
- +Exceptional warm, gourmand dry-down with vanilla and tobacco that is comforting and inviting.
- +Delivers strong projection and long-lasting performance on many users, often lasting 8+ hours.
- +Highly appreciated for its elegant, spicy-sweet profile that feels both powerful and refined.
Cons
- −Performance varies widely; newer batches are reported to have weaker projection and shorter longevity.
- −The opening can be overwhelmingly spicy and intense for some, making it less versatile.
- −Some users find the sweetness too pronounced or cloying, making it feel more youthful or unisex than intended.
