If you want to be happy all the time, you often have to change. Confucius

After many weak new releases and the search for classics which also deserve the term, Demachy came across these extremes. In former times the extreme ones were also still so in the occurrence.

Unfortunately, he has completely reformulated the Eau Sauvage perfume, or as one might say to this misunderstanding.

Now this in the black bottle and feeling stale and older can be a fragrance after judging the design certainly not be completely perplexed.
What the hell happened here? What is this really good product?
How can you not relaunch such a fresh and spicy fragrance again?
The first impression is perfect. The wrong impression of old or outdated was out of place. Who prefers Silla products with dominance is right here.
The lemon is a masterpiece, one wonders, where are the lemon peelings hidden? The grapefruit knows how to please as well. The bergamot, probably contained for budgetary reasons, is not perceptible. After the Sauvage eau de toilette disaster, you can get back on the Dior bandwagon by letting this masterpiece work.
Amazing how certain fragrances are only hyped with marketing, others like this one, which is in the process of sinking, find almost no more buyers.
The comments are not only here on Parfumo very little, also in the big Fragrantica with the com at the end, not the small D-variant, there are very few descriptions and recommendations.
It seems the time of male chypres is definitely over. Too bad, actually, if you have experienced this top fragrance. He was probably ahead of his time in the first release in 1982, then in 2010 well meant but not many fans either. Sad, because this is actually a niche scent, many others smell similar, with a different name and design and therefore not as dusty as this extreme. The hard core would have to worry about Demachy, how to bring such a qualitatively good and very strong product back again. It is not always necessary to reinvent the wheel, a product can also be repackaged after its life cycle. That would certainly not be a bad idea here.
The mint takes effect after about twenty minutes and comes to the fore very well with the vetiver. These are all arguments to test this eau sauvage and give it a chance.
The entire duration of the fragrance is a little over 10 hours, around 0600, then around 1830 still clearly recognizable, which is of course attributable to the fragrance family Chypre and the wood with the Vetiver.
Very recommendable for a slightly different fragrance experience.
My love for Dior has awakened again.

Between

In between. This is the middle one of three children, the tomato and the cucumber in the burger, at the football the sixes on the pitch or the assistant who has to watch the game from the stands. The truth is also a thing that lies somewhere in between. And also the reality comes unexpectedly often in between.

Well, I expected nothing more from the Eau Sauvage Extrême than an intensified, even extreme version of the classic Eau Sauvage. But it's not. I might have guessed. I can read. Yatagan writes it clearly in his statement. Very well, then. It's not too bad.

Because what I perceive from this fragrance is quite excellent in itself. Fresh, soft citrus, fruity and ripe attack. The whole thing already slightly spicy underpainted. Lavender and mint are clearly perceptible in the middle part. After a good hour, the Vetiver joins in clearly and triumphantly. Durability and Sillage are on top level. Excellent balance without disturbing.

After two days of testing, I must confess that Eau Sauvage Extrême reminds me of Eau Sauvage. But not to the EdT but to the two perfume offshoots from 2012 and 2017 respectively. It is above all this creamy-woody base, this particular smell of the vetiver, which unites both fragrances for me. For me, the two perfumes are two works of art that were too exhausting for me in the long run due to their power and opulence. But the Eau Sauvage Extrême is exactly the more pleasant, fresher and therefore more portable variant. It seems that François Demachy deliberately created the Eau Sauvage Extrême as an intermediate step for the perfume variant. Consciously, without wanting to remind you of your big brother.

What should I say in conclusion? In itself, the Eau Sauvage Extrême is an excellent EdT. A chypre at is best. And a clear buy recommendation (as long as it's still available).

Greetings

Wonderful masculine aromatic...

A modernized version of the classic Dior Eau Sauvage, suitable also to younger people, as it presents sweeter and fruitier top notes with smooth lavender and resin mixed in, followed by an aromatic-spicy heart combined with some musty-green aldehydes, mellow jasmine and a creamy sandalwood that lead the way to the long-lasting base where it loses some of the fruity-aromatic accords in favor of woody-ambery tones (vetiver, oakmoss, cedar, patchouli).
On my skin it has a wonderful evolution from fruity-aromatic top to woody drydown and a great projection/sillage in the first 1-2 hrs., lasting on me up to 6-8 hrs.
Overall a very solid quality fragrance from Dior at a still fair price. My personal ranking 9.5/10. Highly recommended.

Extreme vs. EdT vs. EdP /// Extreme vs. Photo/Champion/Classic Black

So one thing right away. That the Extreme enjoys here only a moderate fan community, that will not do justice to its true quality, far from it.
Now he is times quite different from the EdT, both have for my taste as good as nothing in common. One that combines both in itself is unquestionably the EdP. But more about that later.
The Extreme I see as a fragrance that opens up a truly difficult at first, but for that with time very beautiful facets uncovered. He receives one with an entry, which unfortunately could be considered extremely synthetic, but for that later the chypreakkord (and also some fougere by lavender and bergamot) come clearly to the fore. Compared to the EdT, it is scratchy and acidic at the beginning, but with the necessary patience you will be rewarded later. Quasi a transformation from ugly duckling to beautiful swan. However, I would point out that this transformation (with daily use) can last up to 10 days. The EdT seems very accessible throughout. In the beginning, a more accessible entry, but less development in the back. And as mentioned, two completely different scents. In the EdT, the citrus is permanently in the foreground, and the woody in the background. With the Extreme, I have a hard time recognizing the lemon even when spraying it on. Is very strongly taken by the woodiness. If you discover both good sides and a few difficulties with both, and want to take the best of both, the EdP 2017 is more than well advised. This one has the citricity of the EdT at the beginning, and towards the end the tart woodiness from the Extreme. Beyond that, the cinnamon and anise come through well with just the right amount of strength. So much so that you do notice them, but not as oversized as the cinnamon in Egoiste or Obsession, and the anise in Opium EdT. Still, I would clearly give all three scents their due, although the old classic (which some may see as the non plus ultra) is clearly too thin for me in terms of longevity. Where the EdT perhaps only unfolds its effect in warm weather, the other two candidates are nevertheless wearable for my taste at any time of year. And the gentleman touch they have from my point of view all three together.

The following fragrances I would see the Extreme but closer than its brand brothers. That would be as named above, the Lagerfeld Photo, the Davidoff Champion, and the Jaguar Classic Black. Have for me all such an acidic-aldehydige note. In the Photo most likely by galbanum, benzoin and the aldehydes, in the Davidoff by galbanum and clary sage, and in the Jaguar by green apple, nutmeg and vetiver. At least my opinion. But still, I would always prefer the Extreme to the other three candidates. The Jaguar and the Davidoff are simply too weak on the chest, so their low prices are of no use to them. I'd rather spend more and know what I have. The Photo has been priced too high for a long time because of its attitude. But that can be used as an excuse, because the last batches of the Photo were really too brute for me. The Vintage with the calculator font, on the other hand, was a perfectly round thing. I have owned as a teenager, was my first perfume, given by my parents. The Photo last was only scratchy and biting, and that from beginning to end, which was at the Extreme, fortunately, only at the beginning.

And for layering I also have a suggestion. Quasi came by chance on it. Still had remnants of Extreme on the hand, and wanted to apply the Dylan Blue times again. Does really well. Some then relativizes a bit, but from Extreme remain the chypre and the fougere chord, and from Dylan Blue is still controlled some fruitiness. I found really quite cool. Try it out, and tell me your opinion.

Nice try!

Eau Sauvage Extreme opens with a pleasant whiff of subtle and quite sweetened citrus with minty herbs on lavender and woods – a woody accord that smells quite warm and almost ambery, with a darker shade of mossy patchouli. Somehow sharp and peppery too, overall honestly not that distant from many other fresh woody-mossy colognes. Take away all the refined warmth of original Eau Sauvage and add some herbal-mossy stuff... I don’t get the “extreme” though, and I don’t see the point of this version since it smells like a cheaper Eau Sauvage, but it smells decent. Nice try!

6,5/10
