Summer Freshness Kick Timeless and Elegant
The first time I caught a whiff of Extra Vieille was on a flight, the airline had included it in their amenity kit.
At first glance, I thought: Ah, Roger Gallet, I remember that from earlier, those were the soaps that always smelled so good.
Back then, I had Fougere, sandalwood, or rose in my scent memory.
But when I first smelled Extra Vieille:
FRESHNESS KICK, ALARM, all citrus notes on parade, jump to march march.....
The top note is very defining here, a classic eau de cologne for warm days, but much rounder and more elegant than, for example, 4711.
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet is very similar, but it remains a bit powdery in the dry down, older in memory.
For me, Extra Vieille remains one of the best eau de cologne in the classic sense, refreshing and invigorating, timeless, quite understated, and thus a great summer companion.
