First of all, let's talk about the naming... why extreme? Black? Only ultimate and final are missing.
There could surely have been a better solution.
The bottle is a hit. Angular. Heavy. Beautiful combination of black glass and bronze elements. Unfortunately, everything is shiny plastic. Including the cap.
For €320 MSRP, not exactly the best value!
The sprayer is very fine, but hard to dose - you feel like when you've pressed all the way down, the bottle is almost empty. Definitely more than 0.1ml per spray!
Let's go straight to the scent:
Dark spicy woody
After about 20 minutes, it turns into a beautiful ambered oud note. Very earthy and strong resinous.
Qualitatively very high-end and a joy to smell, it draws across my face.
It's not friendly, but I like that.
The first encounter evokes awe. Like Darth Vader's first appearance. Only later does it reveal its core.
So does the scent. The dark woods give way to an amber note wrapped in incense. Wonderfully vintage sexy and spicy old-school. Yet still very dark. I also think I can smell patch notes.
Ah, what can I say. Great thing. But not a brilliant or even shrill scent. Rather very gloomy. For dark cold days. Distinctive.
I will surely edit my words after wearing it a few times. But until then, thank you for reading :)
