Eau Sauvage Extreme, extreme also for women?

After I already tested Eau Sauvage and liked the fragrance, I have found another one that I could imagine in my collection. Although I am just at the beginning of testing men's fragrances.

Just like the classic Eau Sauvage, I can also very well imagine that women could love Extreme ;) while Eau Sauvage is lighter, more citrusy, and by far less spicy-woody ;)

It is immediately spicier upon application, strongly characterized by basil, but also citrus notes like bergamot, lavender, and especially patchouli. A few minutes later, I can perceive the typical scent of aldehydes, which gives the fragrance longevity. Additionally, intense woody-spicy elements from coriander, rosemary, bay leaf, and sandalwood are strongly detectable. In the base, there are mossy notes, robust musk, earthy patchouli, and also cedar, resulting in a beautiful classic men's fragrance that, in my opinion, does not smell too masculine...
However, in the base note, the citrus notes dissipate, leaving behind a warm spicy-woody scent with an animalic note!

I think this scent works better on men's skin than on women's, but I love it when a woman embraces this fragrance. Very nice comment!!

It's GOOD! A bit too spicy for me, though. The woody component is a hit! :D
