In my search for Ylang in Gold, I stumbled upon Pure Extrême in the perfume shop and knew right away that this perfume was coming home with me.
The sales assistant also noticed my great joy, as I have been looking for a summer scent that truly blows me away.

The reason I adore this perfume so much is also closely tied to my first love, Carmen Electra 2007 by LR. Back then, I only had a sample, and by the time I could afford it, the perfume was no longer on the market.
However, Pure Extrême only reminds me of that, as the scent is much fresher, rounder, and more elegant than the LR fragrance.

With some floral perfumes, the flowers are too prominent and take away the freshness. That is not the case here; the selection of flowers promises to maintain the freshness and lightness. The pleasant sweetness and freshness come through beautifully on my skin.

Definitely a daily scent for summer and spring, also my favorite for the next summer vacation.
And very suitable for a summer wedding, whether as an elegant bride or as a guest.
However, for an evening out in summer, I would reach for Ylang in Gold.

I can only partially understand the comparison with Chloé; Chloé has more of a fresh laundry vibe and feels more floral.
Both have their own character.

I probably had to grow into the scent. The first time I smelled this fragrance was on the day it was presented to me as an alternative to Midnight Shimmer, after the latter was no longer available. But the pain was still too fresh, and it wasn't sweet enough.

I must have successfully suppressed that day, because when the decant arrived and I sniffed it a second time, it all came back to me.
Yes, it has that certain something, like my Midnight Shimmer.

The scent itself is round, fine, and not too sweet.
For me, it starts with incense and a bit of vanilla. The incense quickly recedes into the background and rounds off the prominent peppery vanilla-tonka bean with well-placed musk. Sometimes I think I smell something floral, but I must be imagining it.

Unfortunately, the longevity leaves much to be desired; nevertheless, the bottle will probably move in soon and the perfume will become one of my favorites.

One of those rare moments when you're out and about, you stop for a moment and catch a whiff of a fragrance. And suddenly, you're lost in a beautiful memory. Just a few seconds, and before you can think about where it came from, it's gone.
I experienced this with this perfume, and the beautiful thing is, I can enjoy it over and over again.
At the first sniff, I was already taken aback; alongside the incredibly harmonious scent, summer memories came rushing back. Although one would typically wear this fragrance in colder days, I was transported to a nearly forgotten summer holiday in Croatia. Back then, at a campsite by the salty sea with a coffee, the beige pebbles between my toes, and pine trees all around.
This scent simply brings a smile to my face, and I can only feel good.
My memory was truly working at full speed - this must be what they call a Déjà-vu perfume.
After the decanting, I quickly needed to get the bottle.

I have often heard and read that Intense Cafe comes very close to K'Bridge Club, and I got a decant to make a comparison. In the first few seconds, they are not comparable at all, but over time, they start to align.
The K'Bridge is still a bit more harmonious, balanced, and refined.
If you prefer the coffee scent, you should reach for "Intense Cafe | Montale."
I won't deny that they can be confused, but personally, I found my nostalgic scent more in K'Bridge Club.
