[@jadenhalstead7290]

I know it’s unlikely, but I hope they make a spicebomb that smells exactly like extreme, but with coffee notes added. Whenever I wore spicebomb extreme and sat in my car after getting a cup of coffee, all I could smell was the best fragrance imaginable. So for now, I’m just going to have walk around with a cup of coffee when I wear it haha

[@James7995]

Ok. Now trying summon Spicebomb Café into existence. And maybe Spicebomb Privee with a whisky note and a woodier drydown.

[@Dx_Ach]

why not just layer it with a coffee based fragrance

[@jadenhalstead7290]

@@Dx_Ach I thought about that and even sampled Coffee Break by Masion Margiela, but I don't really want to be using two fragrances at once because it'd be pretty expensive. Also worried about choking people out since spicebomb extreme is so strong just by itself. Thank you for the suggestion though!

[@itsjustwan2512]

*drops nightvision Parfum instead*

[@JimmeyandRandi]

That sounds like it would be MY kind of scent…especially for those cold and gloomy type of winter days creeping up on us slowly but surely..nonetheless..maybe try layering it(the Spicebomb of YOUR choice)with something like Michael Jordan Legend..or maybe even Rochas Man..or maybe if you can find it or if it even EXIST and is even a REAL thing..maybe check into the house of Demeter and check out there scents Roasted Coffee or I THINK they have ONE specifically called “Coffee”if I’m not mistaken..and just layer it on top of your Spicebomb of choice and VOILAAA!!!…You have yourself a SPICEY COFFEE BOMB💣🧨lol..just an idea at least..

[@fortressofsoliddudes4597]

Your assessment of Night Vision was absolutely spot-on. I bought it and wore it for one day, and the one word that repeatedly came to mind when thinking of how to describe it is exactly what you said here - youthful. As a 37-year old soon-to-be-married man, it just wasn't for me. I could see myself wearing this 15 years ago when I was single and out and about, but it definitely does not have the "maturity" that I'm looking for in a fragrance. That being said, the hate it gets is unwarranted. It smells great, and I actually sold mine to a younger co-worker who wears it all the time and everyone loves it.

[@snaswedey]

Am 45 and cant care less about what other telling me not to wear =) I wear whatever i want when ever i want. But hey you might feel like a 37 year old. Am still feeling like 20 so that may be the difference

[@awesomelife3710]

I’m 61 and my favorite is Night Vision EDT ✌🏼🙂

[@InfuzeDcyphR]

I completely agree with your assessment . However I am in the same boat as you but still like that youthful smell and refuse to let it go. So I continue to use it and just love the way it smells.

[@jenbell9823]

Am I the only woman who has worn Spice Bomb original for years and years. Just got me a 150ml today. First smelt it on a customer, asked, was told, bought it. NExt day. I love love love it.

[@Sherbertworm]

I also wear the original!! ❤

[@kevinjackson8011]

Great video. Ironically, night vision EDP is by far my favorite. I think it’s so pleasant and perfect for date night. I initially thought it was extremely different from the EDT, but as I began to wear both, I recognize the similarities. Be safe everyone

[@missaelcampos4939]

Same , I smelled all the Spicebombs they had on the shelf and Night Vision was my favorite

[@sorv5790]

As a spicy food fan myself, I think it's worth mentioning that infrared was inspired by red habanero, which has that citrusy, zingy fruity flavor (when it comes to hot peppers, fruity is a sweeter flavor, floral is a bitter perfume-y kind of taste usually tied to hotter peppers), so maybe that's why you get that zing you mentioned. I think that's kind of cool! Still a fan of SB extreme but infrared is great.

[@investigate711]

a spicebomb cola rendition would be awesome. fougere with tonka beans added with the og spices in the first one would go insane with lots of versatility

[@kvan27]

I just got the spice bomb today. Honestly I wasn’t about it when I smelled it at the store. BUT I bought it anyway and it reminds me of the feeling I have when I wear Creed Aventus. I can’t stop smelling it. I sprayed one spray on my chest over cloths and I have been smelling it since 4pm, it’s 930 now. It smells great and I can’t get enough of it.

[@BeastlyHusla]

Spicebomb Nightvision is very nice smelling. Its similar to Eros where it has a fresh smell throughout the day.

[@chad2208]

Night vision smells better then all of them

[@mrsenor32]

The original is so nostalgic for me, wore it for my sons first Christmas so it’s my favorite out of the line

[@xxtruepainxx492]

W dad

[@qayyumchariff4357]

I like extreme, its kinda hard for the nose at first, but after hours, the smell came out really nice, it toned down a bit for the spiceness and the agressiveness turns into masculine

[@sssssalva1]

As in most of cases, the OG is normally the best version and for me, this is also the case

[@Cesarz28]

Night vision is great . I only have 3 and night vision is my favorite. Am not young but I used just because I like the smell plus I don’t care about compliments . I used it if I like the smell.

[@juangomez1784]

Night Vision EDP is my favorite.

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

I finally got to try Spicebomb Extreme at a Duty Free shop in Europe recently. It was better than the OG but as far as I'm concerned it still doesn't beat Infrared. Infrared is definitely my favourite. When I first heard of a fragrance called, "Spicebomb", Infrared was the smell that I envisioned. And it could pretty much market itself as the official fragrance of Christmas and it wouldn't be inaccurate. And the way the tobacco interacts with the cinnamon is a thing of beauty

[@Ayshafr]

Infrared was on sale at Sephora and my parents liked my sample so I ordered it as a gift for my dad. He currently wears Nautica Blue and my mom hates it lol so he wanted something new

[@eljefetoussaint573]

Prior to about a day ago. The only Viktor and Rolf frag I owned was Spice Bomd EDT original. And I was happy with it, but wasn't ground breaking to me. On the contrary I purchased Night Vision EDT as a blind by from TJ Maxx @ a crazy cheap price. I believe it had the wrong price, but the clerk confirmed it was indeed $29.98, so I jumped all over it. I wore it to the waffle house and it definitely filled it within a matter of minutes. Folks really wanted to know what I was wearing, so I'd have to say Night Vision EDT is my favorite. Although to be fair I haven't got my nose on any of the other's.

[@mianrowan]

Out of the 30 or so frags I currently own I've only ever been complimented on sauvage elixir and night vision edt I got a negative remark with the og spicebomb from a coworker lol

[@scottlirette8128]

I'm a huge sucker for all Viktor and Rolf frags... with that said, Extreme is #1 by far. Then while I don't own Infrared (yet) it probably comes in at #2. My wife hates it though. OG would be next and then EDP Night Vision is the Spring and Summer grab. I like to layer OG and extreme for a little extra spice pop. For any ladies looking at V&R, Bon Bon is quite excellent as well! Keep the videos coming bud, they are a pleasure to watch!

[@johnnym2247]

You literally had a no pun intended moment here saying “frags” since you know, the bottles are shaped like grenades. Either way, bravo!!!!

[@TK_KINGK]

I love the INFRARED ♨️ but I feel it could do with a significant bump in performance as far as sillage and longivity go. So an EDParfum would be much appreciated Viktor & Rolf.

Nothing will beat the original formulation of spicebomb between 2012-2015. I've done a comparison video with batches after 2015 and it's a shadow of its former self. Spicebomb extreme is one of the best winter fragrances in the game for sure. Nothing else in the Line is anything special. Hoping they bring antidote back 🙏

Well you would be correct sir

Finally scored a spicebomb fresh this week for 100$. Was crazy hard to find but I finally have the full collection. I personally like it and it's nice to have one toned down for hotter days. I personally love them all. If you can't afford them or just want to test the scent profile, an amazing clone is Cremo spice and black vanilla for 20$.

[@thisismyalias]

Hey, if you don’t mind me asking; Did you get the extreme and if yes, how do you like it in comparison to the og?

[@onedadinplaid159]

@thisismyalias hi there. I did get the Extreme, and I like it. Not love yet, but maybe? It's a little little sweeter than the OG, vanilla, and performs pretty well. I think I personally prefer the OG still. That may change the more I wear it, though. Since then, I tried Infrared, and I really like that one.

[@unscripted3209]

​@@thisismyalias Had the extreme, didn't really like it and gifted it to a friend of mine. I currently have the OG and I really do like that one

Night vision is actually my favorite

[@Gabriel-zd7zc]

Im a collector but I think night vision is amazing respectfully.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Both the OG and the Extreme are my favorites, and given those two, none of the others are really intriguing/interesting enough for me.

[@CheshireCat424]

I have a sample of the original one and absolutely love it. I'm going to test the others as well (but I'll wait until winter or fall). I am female, though. I think this is quite unisex, personally. The pink pepper and cinnamon make the original sweet enough. It doesn't have that typical masculine aftershave scent like a lot of male perfumes.

[@ProudGirlDadX2]

Spicebomb extreme is extremely hard to find here in Massachusetts. I've looked everywhere for it to no avail. I do have the og and the infrared and they are both excellent. I would suggest to anyone that cannot get their hands on the extreme then just buy the original along with a $20 bottle of Cremo: Spice and Black vanilla and layer them together. Le Male Le Parfum and Armani Code Absolu also work well with the original spicebomb.

[@AccentBwoy]

U can get the extreme online for cheap let me know if u need the link

[@BigMExpress]

I wish I could experience Spicebomb Extreme as others do. It really does little for me. I like the initial vanilla note, and then I'm hit with a woody note so dry that it dries out my nostrils. I want to say it's an oak-y note, but maybe that's just because I relate the overall scent of Spicebomb Extreme to Memoirs of a Trespasser, which lists an oak note and also dries out my nostrils after a nice vanilla opening.

[@thetattooedguy1413]

See I think the top/ opening can be a little potent but the dry down to me is incredible ( at least on clothes )

[@steveparadox1]

I find Extreme is vanilla heavy and lacks spicines of the original. The original also has so much better projection to my nose.

[@fr3d611]

I have the original spicebomb and the opening is definitely strong. When i spray it on i always sneeze immediately after :D

[@Dx_Ach]

mindreader, i was literally just looking for something like this.

[@juleslafrequence6779]

Spicebomb Fresh is awesome, I got so many compliments ! Grapefruit in there is better than in the original and bergamot replaced by lavender. I was right to back it up 4 years ago

[@mind-of-neo]

Yeah i think Fresh and the original edt are my favorites. I actually like night vision edt too even though i usually dislike that sort of heavily sweet opening

[@baldnbeardsmen]

Love the spicebombs! I would say Extreme is 1st with Infrared 2nd!

[@BurnedJello]

Spicebomb Extreme may just be my favorite of all time. PDM Herod is pretty close though

[@steveparadox1]

I believe the original spicebomb is my favourite. I find Extreme is too safe. The vanilla smooths it or and the fragrance loses the edgyness of the original. The original has a lot more spiciness and has much better projection than extreme.

[@timobrien6760]

100% agree

[@makalu877]

[@theoldfashioned_]

The OG has that bright side fresh cooling spice compare to extreme where the extreme more like a warm spice and very sweet. The OG is cooling kind of spice and also very sweet but the cooling side of it kinda balanced it out if that make sense. I fell the OG more versatile.

For me the OG is like getting punched in the face with a spice cabinet. Extreme isnt as spicy, but has the dry quality about it that makes it feel not well blended imo. I haven't tried the rest of the line to comment, but I really don't understand why these are hyped so much. I think there's plenty of great alternatives like Wanted by Night, that feel a lot smoother to my nose.

[@Snedz496]

I think if a fragrance reviewer has an older bottle of Spicebomb Extreme they shouldn't be recommending it knowing the newer bottles are reformulated and some people are new to fragrances. It would save them money by not splashing out on the newer batches to avoid being disappointed.
