Hey, guys! I’m here to give you a quick rundown on the original Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf. You might be wondering why I’m keeping this review short and sweet. Well, that’s because there’s a better alternative out there, which pretty much makes the original Spicebomb a bit redundant. But let’s dive into it anyway, shall we?
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: oriental
- Season: winter
- Longevity: average
- Occasion: dating
- Price: $$
Smell:
Spicebomb by V&R has a nice, spicy scent that’s not too strong – it’s pretty pleasant. However, it’s kind of boring to me because it seems like the scent can’t decide what it wants to be. It’s too heavy for hot days but not strong enough for cold winter days. I barely use it because there always seems to be a better option. And honestly, it’s a bit bland.
When you compare it to “Spicebomb Extreme,” the original Spicebomb is definitely softer and more reserved. While “Extreme” gives a strong, warm smell, the original is lighter and more subtle, which can be nice in the fall when you don’t want something super strong.
Longevity:
When it comes to how long this perfume lasts, Spicebomb holds its own with a solid performance. But, once again, its counterpart, Spicebomb Extreme, outshines it. You know what they say, “Go big or go home,” right

Final Thoughts:
So, here’s the deal: both the original Spicebomb and the Extreme version are men’s winter fragrances loaded up with spices. However, Spicebomb Extreme just smells and performs much better, which makes me question why you’d want to stick with the original Spicebomb.
The only reason I can think of is if you’re really into that scent profile of Spicebomb Extreme and want something similar but a bit lighter. In that case, the original Spicebomb might be your go-to choice. Otherwise, I’d say give Spicebomb Extreme a try, and you might just find your new favorite winter fragrance.
