The bomb
This fragrance is aptly named. It is the bomb. Soft, powdery, and yet with a distinctive bite that is absolutely delicious. More robust than the original, but still true to the notes of it.

Details & care
What it is: An explosive twist on the original Spicebomb cologne, this fiery interpretation turns up the heat on an iconic masculine scent.
Fragrance story: This aromatic scent opens with bright accents of grapefruit and pimento berries, paired with the spicy perfume of black pepper for extra bite. In the heart of this intense men's fragrance are sensual notes of cinnamon, cumin and saffron accord. At the base, the masculine note of tobacco accord is paired with ambery, woody notes strengthened with black vanilla and cistus.
Style: Amber.
Notes:
- Top: grapefruit, pimento berries, black pepper.
- Middle: cinnamon, cumin, saffron.
- Base: tobacco accord, woody amber, black vanilla, cistus.
Mood: Intense, sexy, seductive.
How to use: Cologne is intensified by the warmth of your body. Mist in the creases of your knees and elbows for a lasting, strong scent. After applying the scent, avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the eau de toilette, causing it to wear off more quickly. If you prefer to spray fragrance on your wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing as this tends to rinse off the scent.

Asphalt
Simple: It smells like asphalt on a hot, humid day. None of the woodsy, cinnamon nose of the original (the original Spice Bomb is my "go to" cologne). This was a real disappointment and a waste of money. Stick to the original, this one's a stinker.

finally in parfum
I honestly didn't like the Eau De TOILET smell of the first spicebomb, mainly because it has a sandy smell just lke all EDTs do and it just smelled like old JOOP from years ago. BUT if you liked the first spicebomb your going to love this extreme, its much richer, more pleasant , and you get this nice elegant smell one sniff and its noticed.
This scent is in line with womens flowerbomb has a rich aroma.
Spicebomb extreme is in my top 3

Nordstrom Never Disappoints!
Nordstrom never disappoints! I count on Nordstrom to have a selection of merchandise that is a cut above all the rest, and once again they've delivered. Nordstrom has Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme for me, exclusively, and knowing his, I've tried it and love it. I can count on Nordstrom to carry this exclusive product, and many others, so that each time I visit, I know I can bring home the best. Thank you, Nordstrom!

It's the Bomb
Delicious scent for a guy. This was a gift for my son in-law turning 45. He absolutely loves VR Spice Bomb.
VR makes you feel dressed up even if your just having a casual day.

Deeper, richer, more thoughtful
I JUST tried this at Nordstrom (looks like they're getting their shipments in this week. I ordered mine last night off their website) and it's nice, but it may or may not be a suitable replacement for the original EDT. It starts out how the EDT is in the middle: the top "apple pie" notes seem to be gone, and it seems deeper and richer. It seems more mature.
As far as EDP concentration goes, I think V&R took a cue from ol' Tom Ford: I sprayed one spray on my hand and it's about 2 hours later and it's deteriorated to a skin scent. It'll merit further testing, but the prognosis for any significant longevity is questionable.
All-in-all, it's nice, but I'm not certain it's going to replace the original anytime soon.
Oh and ps...the bottle is really nice. :-)

perfect for compliments
this fragrance is a really good masculine fall scent that harmonizes so well with the tobacco and the vanilla the projection on this fragrance is like in the name it is extreme spicebomb and it’s a really good fragrance for date nights. highly recommend!!!

Great winter fragrance
Great winter fragrance with vanilla, tobacco, and bourbon. Projects well and last. This is a great high quality masculine designer without being overly so

He won't buy anything else!
My husband absolutely LOVES this cologne, just two spritz last a whole day and beyond.
I know he is near me when I smell Spicebomb in the air. The combination of spices and tobacco have a rich, masculine fragrance, without being overwhelming. My husband has been complemented, many times, and asked, "what are you wearing?". Which has prompted a few of his friends to buy it, too.
Spicebomb has become his signature scent, he won't buy anything else!
