The Extreme version opens sharper than the original, with nutmeg and clary sage giving an immediate spiced kick. As it develops, narcissus and vetiver come through in the middle, before sandalwood, tobacco and vanilla take the scent into a rich, almost dessert-like finish.
This is built for cold nights, the kind of fragrance that feels right with a heavier coat. Projection runs strong for the first stretch and the tobacco-vanilla base means it lingers on clothing well past the evening.
