Black Extreme

Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is a really good designer fragrance that fills all my needs for a winter fragrance. It is sweet relying heavily on Tonka, Vanilla and woods (all perfect notes for the cold). MDBE has a denser vibe but the citrus notes at the top and the white florals in the heart lightens it a bit so while it feels thick it doesn't feel like a blanket like when wearing Amen another sweet Tonka heavy fragrance. This is a nice under the radar fragrance that will demand people's attention in casual settings. I'd consider it a great date frag in any weather. Orientals in general work well on me to others. Most are warm, inviting and very people friendly. Hard to imagine a guy wearing MDBE to offend those around him if worn the right way...Which leads me to performance. You can choke people out with this fragrance because while its not a 12+ plus scent, it get's pretty close, while projecting loudly for many hours. It lasted 9 hours on my skin. So be very wise on the amount of sprays. It can walk a fine line between 'just right' and 'too much'. anything over 4 sprays may be pressing your luck...In my opinion this is a less is more frag. But if its really cold and you feel like being obnoxious, go for it...lol...Every once in a while I have the urge to do that too...lol This isn't a complicated scent which evolves through its stages in a seamless Guerlain like way...It's more linear and no where near complex...But i'd buy this scent again if for nothing than the fact that most guys won't know about this brand let alone this fragrance and it smells great for hours. The EDT is very similar as others have noted and some may be hard pressed to notice the difference besides the performance aspect. Simply Put: This is a better, warmer and stronger alternative to POLO Black or even La Nuit and would be a great all around fragrance for lovers of sweet masculine scents. 8.5/10 YouTube Channel- Simply Put Scents

I wanted this fragrance but it disappeared and a few people said it was discontinued. As of 7/2021 it's back on fragrance net.com for @$60 (before coupon). If it is discontinued, now's your chance. I got it and it's my first time delving into the "stronger" edition of a fragrance after owning the regular (Mandarina Duck Black). To me, it smells the same if not just a bit more powdery. Some citrus in the beginning that turns into a powdery, vanilla orange cream-cicle. Citrus/orange is there prominently but the tonka/vanilla/powdery notes are powerhouse intensity and really push it back. Overall very similar to the original and I now love both. But whoah buddy is it strong! That tends to happen on my skin with heavy vanilla/tonka. A spray filled up my bedroom and I finally washed off the two sprays I used on me as summer isn't the right time for this. Summer = cloying quickly! After washing I can still smell it. I love both this and the original so this'll be great come cold weather. IMO, not office friendly as it's too strong. Use the regular Mandarina Duck Black for that. If you own the regular/edt version, IMO you're not actually getting a different fragrance here so it may not be worth it. I love the original, wanted a pumped up version of it if the price was right, know Extreme has been scarce (even discontinued according to comments), so to me it's a real winner. Just don't expect any noticeable changes beyond intensity.

Glad I came across this one. Like most have said before, it does smell like the EDT but Extreme performs better. Longevity and sillage are good, above average. Overall, the tonka and wood are ramped up slightly, while the citrus is toned down a little but still there. If you don't care for tonka, you may want to pass on this one. Of the EDT and EDP, I do like the EDP better. Smells somewhat more well blended to my nose. I love how they didn't change the scent completely. Too many flankers have no relation to the original. A company comes up with a scent that sells and rides the coat-tails of popularity in hopes we will buy something that smells completely different. It would be like if you went to a restaurant that is famous for their pizza, you order a new kind of pizza on the menu, and they bring you a turkey sandwich...You wouldn't be too happy. Unless you don't like pizza but then why are you ordering pizza in the first place. :-). Anyway, Extreme keeps the original Black's identity but with some refining and tweaking. Like the review below, I get some of the comparisons to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. So if you like CAHSEE or the EDT, you will like this one. I know I do.

This is very close to the EDT version in smell. The selling point obviously is because this is an EDP and in theory last longer and has more powerful silage. This one certaily will not let you down. The tonka bean note is the more prominent of all of the notes listed, although the citrus notes and to a much lesser extent the vanilla notes are present. The silage is superb DO NOT OVERSPRAY and the longevity is second to none! This is actually a really good alternative the Chanel Allure Pour Homme Sport Eau Extreme. It smells quite similar especially in the dry down and costs half as much. I would say only that Chanel Allure Pour Homme Eau Extreme has a bit more citrus. It also has comparable silage and projection. Absolutely worth a shot! Sidenote: when shopping online for this a lot of places have this listed as a women's fragrance. There is no women's version, so if you're on a site that does have this listed as a women's fragrance ignore that! (fragrancenet.com)

I dont know where to begin when writing out a review for this bottle. Is it a potent magical opera set in the backdrop of a vanilla orange cedar forest?.... Yes. Does it last?... very much so... so much that its almost just as peneterable as my niche fragrances. Not as much as a Tauer but more than any dark Kilian fragrance and you can find this for sub 45 dollars!. Its also inbetween a linear and non linear fragrance. I know that doesnt make sense but It opens up beautifully and your so entranced in every note, but at the same time it feels like the molecules fade out and then punch back in like an LSD trip. A story indeed this perfume is. More like an invisible talking friend actually. Overall a great Perfume. Amber Fougere so one would say its a great winter/fall fragrance but I pull it out whenever cause Im in love with it. Give it a try or a sample as it's definitely worth checking out from a brand that sells on the low.

Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is a rich slightly gourmand oriental fougere. The opening is a cannon blast of citrus, pepper, and tonka. After the citrus calms down we get a sweet visit from the light florals especially the orange blossom. The orange blossom when mixed with the other elements of this composition comes off like orange blossom water, giving it a strong mediterranean vibe. The tonka in this fragrance is deep and rich and is present throughout. The scent eventually dries down to its woody vanilla base, with embers of pepper and orange twirling around it. I quite like this scent, and it was quite affordable when I purchased it. MDBE is a wonderfully rich scent that is perfect for winter and fall. It has great longevity and is suitable for any occasion. Easy on the trigger, because MDBE is BEASTLY! This scent lingers beautifully on a scarf or on clothing, giving you that extra comfort on a cold or rainy day.

MANDARINA DUCK BLACK EXTREME Where do I start with this one? I'm spoiled for choice with the amount of good things this one offers. Let's start with the smell and well the classic what does it smell like? This is the spoiled lovechild of Xerjoff's Uden and Chanel's Allure Homme Sports Eau Extreme. Spoiled because well firstly it's predecessors are extremely rich and secondly because their love child hasn't been deprived of any of those riches himself. It's a class act. It beats the two mentioned 'luxury' perfumes in performance by a HUGE distance and evokes the same 'feel good vibes' that those two to manage to do. Fruits,Tonka,Vanilla are the major factors in this feel good composition with beautiful underlying florals and spices providing this with some pristine depth. All in all Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is a classed out gent who's spoiled with luxuries but still extremely well behaved when called upon.

Very happy with this blind buy. The opening is not great... reminds me of industrial glue but the drydown is divine. After a strange opening (made me question my purchase), it eventually turned into something woody, dry, masculine. If you enjoy fragrances in the style of Boss Bottled Intense or D&G The One, you'll like this one as well. It's classy, gentleman-like. Not for clubbing, more of a date night fragrance. It's a tad sweet but you wouldn't call it gourmand. It's definitely not a freshy either. Not a great choice for hot, sticky, humid weather, probably because of the very light vanilla/Tonka base. A Fall, Spring or cooler Summer weather fragrance for sure. I think it's office-friendly if you don't overspray. Overall, after a so-so opening, the magic begins.

This is a great blind buy. I have seen it for a reasonable 50$ and I immediately had to buy it since I know it is discontinued. To me this smells very fresh citrusy with tonka and vanilla. Its has similarities to Chanel Allure Eau Extreme and Versace Eros minus the mint note with vanilla toned up. I don’t understand people who did not vote it as a summer fragrance. For me this would smell the best in summer and spring. I imagine this would layer beautifully with something like Nishane Ani to get that sweet ginger citrusy vibe. This is a solid fragrance with good longevity and fine silliage. Nathalie Lorsan never fails in creating amazing fragrances on a budget.

BigDurian This is not a forum for banter, you can agree or disagree but talking it here on the review page is not ok imo, you can train your nose to be sensetive to diffrent notes in a smell like smelling thousands off diffrent perfumes and knowing and understanding naturals and chemical notes, your making yourself out to look the fool talking about kittylitter etc and Its a juvenile respons Keep it about the perfume, i guess your feelings gott Hurt when i dident agree it smeld cheap And iff so im not sorry, i strongly disagree on that point I Will remove this respons in a Day as to not sulky the ppl looking for Reviews

I really never review on here but I just got this yesterday and I'm in love! This is easily going to make my top 10 of all time, it's just the perfect balance of sweetness (not too sweet but definitely sweet enough). I can't stop smelling it! Definitely comes off as unisex, but I'll wear anything, regardless of who it's marketed to, if it smells good on me. This is easily one of my best blind buys of all times! Looking for a backup bottle right now because the place I bought it is already out of stock and I already know this one is getting some heavy wear from me!

This is expensive juice in a snapple bottle... Think a toned down mix between Eros and Alure, in my mind this is a bit like kajal homme, this has the naturals in aaall the right placeses... Oh my, iff you have a traind nose you can Instantly tell this is punching well over the price, not fake or cheap, Its smooth and more dense then say allure, dont let The bottle and price tag fool you, trust your nose Orange sparkly and soft vanilla, this cant go wrong, the hype is real 🙏

Simply amazing, and for the prize it is a bargain, if you find it, I have a 100ml and it will last forever because you need no more than maybe 2 or 3 sprays. Really well blended. This and Prada Luna Rossa Black are my most amazing discoveries for the Autumn 2021. I combine it with Chanel Allure Home Sport Eau Extreme (not layer but spray them in different parts) and I good to go, It cost me less than 40€. This is a 9/10 fragrance on my book.

I recently blind bought this fragrance after reading a few reviews and all i can say is: I LOVE IT!!! Its soft, its sweet and its smells exactly like the notes listed. Starts off a little citrusy (the pepper is pretty much non existent), then it turns flowery in a span of maybe 5 mins. And then its a vanilla and tonka bomb. Couldnt get my nose off of it. 100% blind buy approval form me and many others! Have a great day! :)

Pretty much a more refined version of the EDT. Smells a bit more mature to me (And thats fine since Im no longer in my 20s) with more sandalwood and black pepper. Projection and longevity are up but it's still not a beast. In the end I think this is the evolution of the already fantastic "regular" Black. P.S. Extremely wearable on Summer nights, just don't get crazy..

Love at first smell. Very citrus orange in the opening. The vanilla comes out fast and smooth. Smell some pepper. Very well blended. In the far dry down I get warm cookies out the oven type of feel. The dry down slightly reminds me of holloween man x. Not that it smells like coffee but has a warm cookies vanilla feel. I love it. Love the bottle as well.

I own this and Chanel Allure Sport Extreme. I don’t get their being described as identical. My wife smelled this on me and LOVED it. She said, “Wow, that is soooo sexy. That makes me want to get close and snuggle in!” Chanel is far more versatile, and can pretty much be worn anytime. This is an evening, date night, formal fragrance.

This is probably my favorite scent of all time. Idk why it go discontinued but I try and find similiar scents to it and never can. Its a beautiful fragrance. Fall/winter. I put it in that Spicebomb category of season type. Its robust, projects amazing, and was a huge complient getter when I had it.

One of my biggest mistakes in cologne history is selling this fragrance! This, Pulse Of The Night by Issey Miyake and Kensington Amber by Penhaligon's. Kensington Amber I was able to get again but for 3 times the cost. I loved this fragrance, and sold it for dumb reasons I cant recall.

One of the best Blind buys for fall/winter
