1920 Extreme

I think it's apt to address the strongest comparison being made. This is very much like Zino. There are some subtle differences, but for many this will feel like a "softer" version of Zino. Zino is the most abundant fragrance in my collection, with many backup bottles I've accumulated over the past 2 years. So I know this fragrance very well. Ounce per ounce, there's a clear winner on value: Zino. However, Bois 1920 Extreme is a truly pleasant variation on this spicy sandalwood accord. It takes the best qualities of Zino and accentuates them, and achieves a wonderful lighter aroma without patchouli and rose. That's about the simplest way I can put it. If you really like Zino and sandalwood, you will definitely enjoy this... In fact, if you *want* to love Zino but patchouli stands in the way, here's your answer! Yes, that's right -- there's no patchouli in this (would have thought it did, actually--Zino rubbed off on me a bit too much). The only downside is longevity. Zino lasts maybe 25~40% longer. So I'd venture to say if you enjoy both, Zino is for cooler months and Extreme is for the warmer ones. Fragrance: 9.3, Longevity: 7.1, Value: 7.5

This smells like a Perfum version of Davidoff's Zino. It's really, really close. Thicker and maybe it's a tad smoother, and dries down a bit slower. A perfected Zino? Maybe but even vintage Zino can be had for a fraction of the price. I love Zino and if I was rich I'd be happy to have Bois 1920 Extreme. I can't say it's better then Zino even if cost was equal. But if you love Zino and have money to blow go for it. Quality stuff. It's like the difference between Terre D' Hermes EDT and EDP. It has a thickness and weight that sometimes can be preferred. Edit: Tried this again today. Just love this stuff. Really surprised there is no tobacco listed. I distinctly smell it strongly in the middle stages. The bourbon vanilla drydown is really something else.

It is a true masterpiece: original, classy, different, high quality I find most of their perfumes to be a bit on the lighter and less impressive side but this one is the exception BTW, it is not the same at all as the regular Bois 1920

This is a beauty after the first 10 min. The lavender - sandalwood combo keeps it powdery and smooth and the tonka - vanilla rein in the sweetness...too little jasmine to really matter. This is delish .

Bois 1920 Extreme is quite a good suprise. The opening is definitely manly with bitter and smoky green herbaceous accord (sorry but I don't get any fern here). It has a retrò-feel that I quite appreciate. In the drydown it developes to a sweeter velvety bourbon frangrance with Vanilla and Tonka Beans. The whole fragrance is well balanced, warm, absolutely comfortable and elegant. Although Extreme is a quite intense perfume it's not overwhelming and the Bourbon gives the Vanilla and Tonka Beans end a nice character and an exra touch of luxury. I don't know how it would be on a woman, but it's perfect on a man. Like it. Rating: 7-7.5/10
