Smoky lilies in the woods

Passage d'Enfer Extrême was the first niche perfume I purchased for myself. I've always been drawn to wood and incense on the cool side. I tried on the original concentration as well as the new extreme version, and the stronger and darker smokiness won me over.

The ethereal white floral softens the bitter incense and dry woods, making it very wearable and feminine. Although vanilla is mentioned in the notes, it is not overly sweet or creamy, but rather soothing and calming. Whenever I smell this scent, I find myself taking a deep breath.

It was my signature scent for the last two years, until I ran out of juice and switched to Orpheon from Diptyque last week. I only wear it in the morning before going out, but I've received numerous compliments from colleagues, even across the office room in the afternoon. As such, the performance must be at least okay even though I always go noseblind on it after some hours.

I have about 5ml left in the bottle, which I will save for whenever I miss the scent. And I will most certainly repurchase it after I finish some of my new Orpheon and Timbuktu.

It is truly unique and my personal favourite.

The Softest Damnation

With a name like this, you’d expect a plunge into flames, swirling clouds of burning incense, a blaze of spices… and yet, nothing of the sort.

Far from the torment of the damned, Passage d'Enfer Extrême leads us instead into the hushed silence of a church nave, where incense brushes against the skin like a whisper and white flowers murmur their prayers.

This is no inferno - it’s a church after mass, when incense still lingers in the cool air, mingling with the cottony softness of lily and jasmine. If there’s anything Extreme here, it’s in the absolute stillness.

Why the name? A touch of irony? A discreet funeral for a lost soul? Who knows. What’s certain is that Passage d’Enfer Extrême isn’t for lovers of fire and fury, but for those seeking a scent as soothing as a litany murmured in candlelight.

Meditative

This is a meditative, contemplative scent. It does indeed recall old churches, cold cathedral walls, incense that has been burned for decades and whose smell still lingers. It opens up very smoky, a little lemony (because of the frankincense), but I cannot place the lilies anywhere sadly. It evokes an ashy feel.

Just a comparison

This opens with more incense smoke than the EDT and it lasts a bit longer too. The florals here are equally ambiguous after a while but the smoke keeps it from being a generic flowery scent, which the EDT somewhat and sometimes struggles with. It lasts just a bit longer too (about 6-8 hours* rather than 3-4 for the EDT), but remains a little close to the skin after a while with about the same projection.

Essentially the same beautiful scent with just a bit more depth, but I'm not sure if it's to the extent where you might choose this one over the other. If you're looking more for the church in this line of perfumes then the EDP might be better for you, if you want the hazy afterlife with all it's foreign flowers the EDT would be the better choice.

I like both tbh, this one might satisfy that "goth" itch a little better.

Too much sandalwood and vanilla, not enough incense and lily

I got the EDT miniature a while ago and I loved the scent but due to its poor longevity I thought it's worth trying a more concentrated variant. I was wrong.

First things first, Passage d'Enfer Extreme is by no means a bad scent. It's just not what I hoped it would be. It did not deliver on the incense and smoke but completely over-delivered sandalwood. Just a hefty dollop of sandalwood with a dash of vanilla on top of the scent I liked from the EDT version.

I dislike sandalwood and vanilla, so this is a loss for me. The warmth of these notes made the cold ghostly quality disappear on my skin.

At least I will always have my lily and incense sad cathedral scent in Relique d'Amour... Can't win them all, I guess
