How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Bad Boy

  • Facets Spicebomb Extreme does not have: cocoa, clary sage, cedar.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Spicebomb Extreme

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon.
  • warm spicy and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — cumin, tobacco are among the least common notes in our database.
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Spicebomb Extreme — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Bad Boy — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Spicebomb Extreme — signature carried by warm spicy and gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Bad Boy — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5

  • Most original

    Spicebomb Extreme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cumin, tobacco)
