The simplest ideas

Tom Ford, Lavender Extreme.

The greatest ideas, in my experience, are the simple and obvious ones. The "why didn't I think of that?" ones.

Lavender has to be one the most universally loved scents in the universe. I've met no one who dislikes lavender. Seriously--if you have a problem with lavender, who are you?

So lavender, being so popular, is part of the recipe for what seems like every cologne, EdP, room spray, candle, you name it. Fragrances for men, for women, for children--lavender. It is to the scent recipe as baking soda is to baking.

But.

For all the universal appeal of lavender, surprisingly, very few houses build a fragrance around it. PART of the recipe, sure. Maybe even a big part of the notes now and then.

But the BASE? The overall impression? Heck, the single NOTE of a one-note fragrance?? For some reason, no manufacturer does this.

So the genius of TFLE is just doing what should have been so obvious, so simple--make a lavender fragrance, for anyone.

That said, this could have been a genius idea but botched in the execution. It could have smelled like a room candle, or an air freshener, if not done correctly. Tom Ford has a high brand and image, and this fragrance was done at the level you would expect as part of this house.

Bold and daring.

Strong--nothing by Tom Ford is ever "clean" or "mild".

Layered--there is chocolate, fruitiness (raspberry?), some aldehydes perhaps.

But all returns to lavender. A very expensive, layered-but-seems-like-single-note fragrance.

This scent could fit into any collections--man or woman; spring or fall. Recommended highly

Magic

Tom Ford perfumes are pure magic. You can like them or not, but almost all perfumes of its private blend are so special. When you first try them there is something unique you haven’t smelt anywhere before.

This lavender extreme is another example. When I first smellt the cap was like wow… it is so charming and cozy. The first impression when sprayed was a lot of lavander, a very realistic one. Then in the drydown the cinnamon and other elements come in and it results in a creamy and pleasant lavander.
I don’t find myself wearing this in my day routine, I find it more like a perfume to go and sink tour nose into from time to time.

Batida de Coco

When I saw this scent, my heart jumped briefly: a lavender scent - from Tom Ford! I wonder if this is a Tom Ford for me When all the others are too loud for me, mostly inharmonic. And I love lavender, nothing can go wrong, if it also comes along in the typical Ford Sillage and durability....
So it had to be a bottling!
Sprayed on - and yes, THAT's the lavender I like. Just like the lavender sacks smell for laundry. I also have to think very briefly of my beloved "Lavandula" from Penhaligon's. Very nice!
I'm wallowing for, say, five minutes, thinking about how to get a bottle. The scent, I'm sure you've guessed, makes a U-turn. At first, again for a few minutes, I feel reminded of my beloved "Fourreau Noir" by Serge Lutens - lavender with a magical tonka bean, slightly smoky. Very nice, but I already did.
Well, I'll see what happens next.
Attentive readers of course have the title of this comment in mind, and so now follows the inevitable: After only a short time this wonderful lavender dream becomes a coconut nightmare for me. The lavender is still there (not like in "Caron pour un homme", where it disappears completely after a short time and gives way to an unbearably sweet vanilla) - but it is superimposed by a cloud of warm coconut milk. Yeah, it smells like coconut to my nose. This cloud might even be quite pleasant for most people, in between "Fourreau Noir" flashes through from time to time.

I don't like coconut at all, though. Yes, I hate it. Both on the tongue and in the nose.

Sigh - yes, I wanted to like you so much... I prefer to refrain from an evaluation, for many noses it will be a very pleasant, soft scent. The Sillage is for such a smell in the very good range, at least 7.5. Unfortunately, I can say nothing about the durability, I go to wash off the smell now :-(

Polaris

The thought puncture points of the extended earth axis through the sky vault are commonly called celestial poles. And very close to the north pole of the sky there is a star of second size called Polaris. Since it hardly circles - in contrast to its other companions - it is a good point of orientation in the sky.

The comparison of Polaris with Lavender Extreme is deliberately chosen. As a star with an apparent brightness of the second magnitude, it does not immediately fall into the eye or under the nose and is by no means - as often erroneously assumed - the brightest star of the night sky visible from Earth. As an orientation it is, however, a type enrichment in the vastness of the fragrance market with regard to the Typus´ lavender plant idea. A little bit oldschoolig and nevertheless with small own ideas, he lights the way for us now.

The bottle is great, also fits the theme and actually has something polar star-like about it.

The scent is not the brightest, the strongest, the newest. He doesn't want to be a superlative. This polar star is - as described above - a good scent orientation point in its profession.
It starts quite fresh, a bit citric. Then, of course, lavender, a very well made - herbaceous-fresh facet. A Mediterranean lavender that I have been able to see here and there in the south of France in recent years. A soul plant. Undemanding, growing on rocks - strong in winter. The latter supported by the tonka bean rounding off the track (I also perceive something cinnamony, coconut on my skin rather not), with which it ends: a soul scent. In the air with nose distance somewhat spicier, powdery. Fresh, lavenderpieksender.
with the nose on your hand very close
At the end of the celestial pole Polaris shines the autumn beautifully to me - hardly circling, not pushing itself into the foreground. My star second size.

Lavender cuddles on clay cushions!

For me personally, lavender is a fragrance that one loves very much or cannot stand it at all. There is no in between. The herbaceous and tart version of lavender is very often present in eau de colognes and that is often too strong for me. But when lavender appears in a tamed version as a fragrance with vanilla or, as in Lavender Extreme, with cinnamon and tonka, I'm blown away.

Lavender Extreme starts very citric and already with a full load of lavender. So quite intense and suddenly with a very intensive scent perception. After about 10 - 15 minutes, cinnamon is added as a scent and soothes this violent first attack on the scent perception. Now the lemon withdraws but is still easy to perceive. Half an hour later a very nice tone canote is added and makes the scent incredibly soft and gentle. Cinnamon and lemon are still there and in the background both underline only this wonderful creamy lavender, which literally cuddles up to the skin and makes you dream of a holiday in Provence.

The silage is now not as violent as with other Tom Ford scents and at a distance of half a meter it is still perceptible to the surroundings, but it does not fill the room. After about 5 hours the farewell has come and now the flowering lavender field slowly disappears into the sunset. Now the nose has to sniff heavily to catch some more nuances of the scent.

Conclusion: As an absolute lavender fan I like this fragrance very much, but the usual price for 50 ml Lavender Extreme is already insane. I have not regretted it and could now add another fragrance jewel to my collection. To all the other lavender fans I can only say that this scent is the hammer.
