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.

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!

I like it

Cold, bright, and fresh. There is the usual Eau Sauvage citrus notes, this time however, they are sitting underneath a blend of basil and mint up top. I actually get a bit more of the basil on my skin, then I do the mint note. Herbal, sort of a menthol kind of effect, when put together.

I like it. The fresh spiciness doesn’t overwhelm and still has balance within the composition. It’s held in check by the lavender note and the resinous elemi, which was also a big factor in Eau Sauvage Parfum. Here, it has less of a long-term influence.

After a while, the basil and mint will calm down and the citrus starts to come through more clearly. Lavender, elemi, cedar start to follow in gaining strength. Less green than the opening act, but the basil and mint do stick around at a lower level.

Patchouli breaks through a bit after this. It’s not heavy, but it does dirty up the scent somewhat, for at least a little while. Nothing too intrusive, but it plays well with the general green and woody aspects of Extreme Intense.

For me, the rest of the way is a cedar, lavender, elemi, and citrus affair. Very little spice and patchouli left. More of a clean and somewhat fresh aroma. Some moss thrown in for good measure.

He who wants to be constantly happy must often change. Confucius

After many weak new releases and the search for classics that truly deserve the term, I stumbled upon this Extreme by Demachy. In the past, the extreme releases were also striking in their presentation.

Unfortunately, Francois Demachy has completely reformulated the Eau Sauvage Parfum, or however one wants to call this misunderstanding.

Now this one in the black bottle, with the feeling of being stale and older, cannot be judged as a fragrance based on the design, leaving one completely perplexed.
What has happened here? What is this really good product?
How can such a fresh and spicy fragrance not be relaunched anew?
The first impression is perfect. The false impression of being old or outdated was misplaced. Those who prefer sillage-producing fragrances with dominance will find this one right.
The lemon is a masterpiece; one wonders where the lemon peels are hidden. The grapefruit is also pleasing. The bergamot, probably included for budget reasons, is not perceivable. After the Sauvage eau de toilette disaster, one is drawn back to the Dior train when allowing this masterpiece to unfold.
It’s astonishing how certain fragrances are hyped solely through marketing, while others like this one, which languishes in obscurity, find almost no buyers anymore.
The comments are not only very few here on Parfumo, but also on the large Fragrantica with the com at the end, not the small D-version, there are very few descriptions and recommendations.
It seems the era of masculine Chypres is definitely over. It’s a pity, really, when one has experienced this top fragrance. It was probably ahead of its time when it first appeared in 1982, then in 2010 well-intentioned but also not many fans. Sad, because this is actually a niche fragrance; many others smell similar, with different names and designs, and therefore do not seem as dusty as this Extreme. The core team around Demachy should consider how to reintroduce such a qualitatively good and very strong product. It doesn’t always have to be about reinventing the wheel; a product can also be repackaged after its life cycle. That would certainly not be a bad idea here.
The mint comes into play after about twenty minutes and pairs very well with the vetiver in the foreground. These are all arguments to test this Eau Sauvage and give it a chance.
The overall duration of the fragrance is just over 10 hours; applied at 0600, it is still clearly recognizable at 1830, which can certainly be credited to the Chypre fragrance family and the woodiness of the vetiver.
Highly recommended for a somewhat different fragrance experience.
My love for Dior has been rekindled.
