Maybe best fragrance ever made
Do you remember controversial and provocative ad for YSL M7 featuring nude guy? I'm sure this is the fragrance that guy would wear. Masculinity bottled, refined, smooth, and unfortunately fleeting. You have best 2-3 hours of your life, but after that, it will become only memory.

For me this is very linear fragrance, which is good because it is great from the start.

Simply Awesome!!!
One of the top offerings, if not the best from Tom Ford line including private blends, don't be misguided by testing it on blotter paper or on your wrist for an hour or two, give it a full day wearing , feel the quality and count the compliments.

Its a classy woody, a lil sweet(fruity) / spicy fragrance with an earthy feel which is very nicely done and the blending is awesome.

Not really extreme...
For me it smells like a men's version of Black Orchid - or Black Orchid for men.

Not very unique and not extreme also. Longevity is average, around 6 hours in my skin. Projection and sillage are medium.

It's a good fragrance, but if you expect something heavy and dark you'll get disappointed.

I smell a nice plum note in the middle of its development. The drydown is great and there is the moment that remembers me of Black Orchid.

A Masterpiece From Tom Ford...
The first time I smelled this fragrance,i fell in love !!
The fragrance of TF EXTREME comes from an artistic vision and a modernist thinking that eventually captures the courage of the heart of every lover of the fragrance...
A stylish and luxurious fragrance like a groom wearing Tom Ford's tailor-made suit And he knows well that all looks are towards him!

Tom Ford Extreme for Men
For the ridiculous amount of ingredients, TF Extreme is an incredibly rich and well blended frag that somehow pulls it all together. This one easily lasts 8-10 hours as well.

I’m not a fan of iris or violet, but this one has just the right amount of powder in the heart to compliment the sweetness from the fig and richness from the truffle. I can dig it.

Unfortunately discontinued, Extreme for Men is a really brilliant composition of a masculine fragrance that covers all the bases - rich, dark, smooth, boozy sweetness, and leather.

On sweetish woody, slightly heavy mix of all sorts of spices lies delicate powdery dusty layer which gives a modern touch to the scent.

classic 90s style fragrance in a good way, complex formulation the result is elegant and strong during 1h, inspiration of bois pacifique

The opening is 10/10 but it dries down to generic woody patchouli semi-sweet accord that I dislike. Performance is abysmal.

A very spicy start wrapped in labdanum & chamomile - becomes smokier with earthy patchouli, plum, a hint of leather, and sweet rum.

I'm not a Tom Ford fan, but there's nothing wrong with this dark, spicy explosion. Very ♂.

Tom's interpretation of a "men's deck": powerful spices, rum, woods & leather.
Saffron, violet & vanilla as a balancing counterpart.

Closed men's gathering in the English salon, there’s spice cake, plenty of old rum, and lots of nostalgia! No! Entry! for boys and women!

Purring Panther - exudes sensuality.
Incredibly great patchouli note, slightly smoky.
Delicate caramel with rum.
Delicious!

From this blend, I get patchouli, sandalwood, coriander, and basil. Quite creative and not particularly mainstream.

Dry spicy, complex-woody, elegant-masculine, it becomes a bit sweeter at the end (vanilla/caramel) and the truffle comes out; classy!
