Attitude Extreme

Love this. An elegant gentleman’s fragrance, multifaceted and intoxicating - The “extreme” in the name, however, is a bit misleading. It’s worth having just for the magnificent, stylish and functional flacon - which is a work of art. Attitude Extreme smells amazingly good and every time I wear it I spend most of the time just sniffing my wrist. As it evolves, and there are flashes of recognition, but I don’t detect the coffee as coffee, or the cedar as cedar, rather each note presents as a facet that hints at recognition. (that made sense in my head) Really wish the coffee note were more prominent. Always wanted a fragrance with the uplifting, aroma of the first espresso of the day. In AE the coffee is hinted at, along with an anise note similar to Opium Pour Homme, The dry down is slightly sweet and woody. Supremely sniffable. Attitude Extreme is like an olfactory metaphor for impermanence. It’s exuberant and intoxicating while it lasts - but all of a sudden it’s gone and the wearer is left wishing it were still there. Armani means quality - Attitude Extreme is an awesome men’s designer fragrance that would be an ultra-legend if its performance were cranked up. Since it was discontinued it seems to be worth more than its weight in platinum which is depressing because I’d love to have more of this. An amazing fragrance, complex and elegant, that doesn’t smell like anything else, is a crowd pleaser and - like its awesome flacon - is a work of art.

I really like this fragrance. It is complex and does a great job of taking some simple notes and creating something fun and unique. I love coffee. Attitude pairs the coffee note in typical fashion with cardamom and anise but brings the strange with with some great citrus and amber. The effect is magical, however and it pains me to say this; the performance lacks and it is heart breaking, because this scent is truly great. Attitude opens up all cough syrup, and I love it for this! The cough syrup opening eventually subsides and the citrus, coffee and amber present themselves perfectly. There are slight whiffs of cardamom and star anise in the mid notes. Attitude nestles down beautifully into some cedar and patchouli in the dry down. It is beautiful how well the notes are separated in this composition. It is a love for me, but the projection lacks so applying extra is a must. I like wearing this when I am meeting friends or out with the missus and it is late in the day. Think several sprays under a crisp dress shirt, and definitely around the neck and chest area so you can take in the fragrance as well. Give Attitude a few sprays when the occasion calls for dressing down, but you want a sophisticated edge.

One of the best scents in my 80 bottle collection. Top 5. On me I get the anise, amber and lemon with patchouli holding them up. I don't get a lot of coffee with this one. Different scents smell different on different people but this smells awesome on me. In my opinion this is one of the most underrated fragrances out there and the best of the Armani house. I originally smelled this fragrance at a fragrance shop where I was sampling many different scents, niche and designer. The owner let me try this and told me that this was his favorite scent in the store. This was bolstered by the top rating of the female sales associate. When I smelled this it just connected with me in a way that none of the others had. Simply amazing and worth double the price in my humble opinion. Definitely test before buying though.

I was reviewing my old bottles and when I sprayed Attitude Extreme.... it just kicked in why I loved it so much, many many years ago. With more than 107 bottles this is still top-tier for me. The time was not graceful for the Amalfi lemon, the smell is less powerful from what I remember from back in the days, but the composition is still that beautiful. Even thou the perfumer is not mentioned in Fragrantica, I do remember that it was made by the star combo: Alberto Morillas, Annick Ménardo, Olivier Cresp. If I have to sell all my fragrances, Armani Attitude Extreme, Dior Homme 2005, and the first Valentino Uomo Intense will be the last to go.

When I first try it at the shop, I know that I am going to get it soon... So I got it week ago ! At the begining, it is a good fragrance, but I love the dry down even more ! You can put it on when is cold or hot out side, "nevermind", but I think that you have to chose the right clothes to put on with this... When I smell it, I can imagine younger bussines man (20-30) years old, wearing it for some bigger meetings where he have to show his EXTREME ATTITUDE ! In short, good job by Armani, strong fragrance, younger crowd is going to love it (I DO !)

Got it from Macy's....i can only wear armani fragrances and worshiped them for the last 10 years and i am 25. to be honest i don't really like smelling AE from the bottle. i love it though on my skin. I believe that this one has almost nothing to do with the original one. It sometimes reminds me of the diamonds one and the original irresistible by givenchy. The dry down reminds me of the original mania for women which i loved. All in all a very mysterious fragrance that once again stays really close to the skin, at least my skin. Thanks :-)

Loved this one during high school. Got another bottle a few months ago, but didn't use it a lot, so I'm selling it again. The opening is great and the drydown is also nice. A spicy, fresh lemon transitioning into a warm bed of amber, with a powdery drydown. However, despite how good it smells, I can't smell it on myself after 2 hours which is quite a letdown. It's mostly a personal scent, it hovers above your skin. Quite a shame since it smells so good.

So glad to find both the Extreme version and original one, genuine and at a ridiculous price both ! Guess the seller didn't know its value but good for me. Both were genuine and of its release year of production. I only had before the original one which was really great, to my opinion the best Armani has ever created, the extreme one has amplified longevity and smell of the original one, so love it. Lucky to have this discontinued 'gems' !

Ohh how can I start this great perfume it’s fascinating smell why it is discontinue ? I don’t understand this I think This is the best Armani Perfume so far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very safe and avaliable blind buy If I know before it is discontinue I would get more more and more stock If you find it anywhere thats mean you have a new treasure :) I miss a lot this fragrance...

A+++++++++++ 10/10... A true gentleman perfume.....!!!!! It is truly the best fragrance ever created.....!!!! The only smell the carve out a true true MAN......!!!! Very very hard to compete.....really bravo big time.

I was able to find at a very reasonable price on eBay. Good luck! Took me a while to find a while to find a decent price. But anyways this scent is a nice lemon, anis, and coffee combo.

If you want to stand out of the crowd just wear this fragrance. Simple as that. Smell: 9/10 Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 9/10 My overall rating: 9/10

My ex had this and oh my god! I wish I could still smell this again one day. This was absolutely perfect scent. So spicy but soft, so sexy!

This was my brother's signature scent a few years back and god damn did I love it. Absolute gentleman's scent, classy and smokey. Love it!

I just LOVE this smell-a little bit too sweet but in a good way ) Longevity is about 8 hours and it projects on miles ))

OK, this should have been called Spicebomb! :) It really stars like a Bomb, or a Supernova full of hardcore spices! :D

This scent is seriously powerful! It lasts all day and the spice notes are intoxicating. Definitely gets me noticed.

The closest one to this masterpiece (in my opinion) is Amber pour Homme intense by Prada.

one of the best fragrance by armani.. i jus luv it... longevity -10+

Solid gold scent! A Masterpiece fragrance/cologne from Armani. 10/10
