L’Humaniste Extreme

Not all fragrances for which their perfumers make extreme or intense versions deserve them, but this one really did. The original L'Humaniste from Frapin is a gentle, mellow, elegant masculine fragrance which was pretty low-key, and after sampling it I very much wished it had come in a stronger version. Here it is, and you get the fuller sense of the notes with the beefed-up formula: the cardamon is still here, but the juniper and alocohol notes are much more evident. This smells like a relaxed club atmosphere: it's the rare scent that evokes a gin-and-tonic without seeming alcohol soaked, you could actually wear this to work without smelling like you've had a nip in the parking lot beforehand. Rather, it just projects calm and elegance. Very nice, and probably worth a full bottle.

Starts off with a bit more lemon up top than the original. The first time I sprayed it the lemon was all I got. Very cleaner-like lemon. But I let the sample sit for about three weeks and decided to just give it a full wear yesterday. Very surprised to find the lemon note more subtle and blended in a bit more. The majority of the wear very much resembles the original with its ginger-apple and citrus brightness but this one has a very nice dusting of spices and clean woods as it dries. It gives a little more depth than the original and sets itself apart from the (some might say) overly simple structure of L'huministe. Performance was probably a little better also but still not nuclear, nor would I want it to be. Strongly considering a full bottle.

This new creation takes the original to a deeper and much more interesting level to my nose. This starts off pretty fresh, green, some bergamot and perhaps some anise, classic stuff. In the dry down L’Humaniste Extreme goes warmer and here the magic begins. It’s a fusion between a classic scent and its own dna which I simply adore. Lots of spices, tonka, patchouli and slightly minty. On the improvement, Frapin managed to extend the longevity substantially on this one, thumbs up Frapin. Recommended stuff, their best release so far.

Indeed it's not as fresh as the original, but i do find it's a very nice and sexy fragrance! For me personally it's an improvement! I do detect the distinct spicy coca cola aroma Mike is talking about. This fragrance smells soo damn nice and has alot of versatility to it. I think you can wear this one whenever, but do think it's most suited to a cooler summer nights or in between seasons. Frapin really has a winner here and I think women will really like this!

We have a beautiful scent that is both fresh and woody. ideal for all 4 seasons. It’s a no-fuss perfume! Frapin worked on the longevity of the perfume, the perfume lasts much longer than the classic version. we directly feel that the raw materials are of quality.
