Adidas Extreme Power

Another great $3 scent! That's what I paid for a bottle. Anyway, unlike a few Adidas scents I tried years ago, this one is reasonably natural smelling and has a nice composition. The apple type note in the base is almost spice-like, but in this kind of composition spice would make it feel heavier, so this one vibrates at a different level (without actual spice, or not much of it). The coffee is great but doesn't last long with clarity; after a minute or so it stays as a background hum. It is sweet but not outright gourmand, and the wood notes offer necessary contrast. The balance seems just right here, and while some people want a more "edgy" scent of this kind, like vintage Rochas Man, this is good for when I don't want anything that might be too challenging on that day. Longevity was excellent and projection seemed good if not outstanding.

As others have commented this is one of the best colognes put out by Adidas. Two others I really enjoy from Adidas is Active Bodies (Discontinued) and Victory League. Adidas Moves is popular too, but it's not one that fits this middle age guy. As with literally all Adidas colognes, Extreme Power does not last long. The only exception is Active Bodies (original) which was literally a beast of a fragrance. Extreme Power is still nice though, and absolutely perfect for the gym before and/or after your workout. It's a sporty kind of scent as it smells a lot like many shower gels for men and aftershaves so it's unquestionably male. Nothing feminine or unisex about this one. The sport-fresh vibe combined with coffee, cedar and a touch green apple.

As others have pointed out, this is a supernice fragrance from Adidas, their best so far. Anything from Adidas smells good and a bit low-budget, but this one is on a higher level. I like it more and more. Opens fruity/citrus/woodie, after a while the Wood is more dominant and the tonka creeps in successively. To me, the projection and longevity are quite good, leaves many more pricey scents behind in the power department. I don't care really much in the design of bottles but substandard sprayvalves irritates me! Must recommend this one still. It is almost for free, you won't regret it! Well done Coty / Adidas!

The scent of Adidas Extreme Power is awesome! I received an instant compliment after the test. If it lasted more than two hours I would seriously buy three bottles. The scent alone is beyond any doubt fantastic and true to the lovely notes displayed in the pyramid. It’s almost a pity that it has poor longevity. I intend buying a bottle as it is “cheap” and I see myself giving this a proper chance, even if I end up using it around the house, or to visit the shop and I only get two hours out of it.

I love the way this smells. To me it's fresh and a bit oriental in a way. I sometimes think I smell melons when I wear this. I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere. Melon smeller.;) I get compliments constantly when I wear this one. "Oh you smell good." Yes, It is cheap, synthetic, and generic. But I only paid $5.99 CAD for it, and you can't deny that it just smells good. (It was sold at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada during the summer of 2012. Not sure where it is sold now, if anywhere.)
