In Extremis Astrophil & Stella 2024
1
A Masterpiece dedicated to Caravaggio's art
In Extremis is a masterpiece, a true work of art that stands out among the myriad of scents presented at the Esxence fair this year. It is not just the best fragrance I have tried at the fair, but a high-water mark for what is possible in the world of perfumery. Its ability to balance a wide range of notes, from the fresh to the smoky, from the floral to the earthy, makes it a remarkable achievement. In Extremis is not just a fragrance you wear; it's an experience that lingers in the memory, a scent that becomes a part of your personal story. This fragrance deserves the highest of praises, a standing ovation in the realm of scents.
Its sophisticated blend captures the essence of artistry in perfumery, balancing a wide array of notes to create an unforgettable experience.
From the moment you experience its opening notes, you are transported to a world where freshness and mysticism intertwine. The Galbanum, paired with the Angelica, Lentisk, Blue Chamomile, and the subtle smokiness of Birch, create an opening that is both invigorating and intriguing.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a tapestry of olfactory treasures. Osmanthus and Magnolia bring a floral softness that is perfectly balanced by the Incense and the warmth of Musk. This middle phase is where In Extremis showcases its ability to blend contrasting elements into a harmonious whole, offering a sensory experience that is both comforting and enigmatic.
The base of the fragrance is where In Extremis truly reveals its depth and complexity. Vetiver, intense Leather Oud, Ambergris, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood and Oakmoss come together to create a foundation that is both grounding and captivating. This combination of base notes ensures that the fragrance leaves a lasting impression, one that is rich, multifaceted, and utterly unforgettable.
