Extreme Night

The small amount of Cypress in my collection has thus far been a real letdown, but EN has been an incredibly enjoyable surprise...two weeks in, and I have enjoyed this far more than CH Sport or Man Wood Essence. I would agree with some others that the name seems odd - this is actually a versatile, signature-worthy fragrance - but I can easily look past that to focus on the juice. My one and only hesitation with EN comes just a couple minutes after first spritz when I am subtly reminded of whatever type of air freshener comes to mind, but some real strength begins to quickly take hold and shape the scent with some pleasing touches of masculinity while still remaining light-ish. Very pleased with the blending, the floral is never loud, and as the Cypress comes to the forefront you can still feel the supporting notes playing a beautiful role...there is almost a cooling feel that takes place which makes the entrance of Tonka and hint of Vanilla such an interesting contrast. I will absolutely reach for this as a late-Spring or Summer option in the evening, sure, but other than that it doesn't "speak" to me as a night-specific wear, at all, EN has plenty of potential for use throughout your calendar. Not a world-class performer, but does possess a stubborn Cypress that sticks around for at least 6 hours on my clothing...my wife loves the freshness of EN and that is after an after-work hug so there's some longevity, there. Will be buying another bottle, love it.

I think that this fragrance has been decently reviewed thus far so I’ll just add a few additional comments. If I had to compare this to something else, it’s like a mix of JPG Le Male and Kenzo Power. Masculine with some nice florals with vanilla - maybe some soft spice of nutmeg and tonka bean. Overall a really nice, clean-fresh smell which is especially interesting for fall days and cool evenings. This does quite poorly in hot/humid conditions. Lastly, the longevity is moderate at 5-6hrs but the projection is always subtle, even from the first 10-15min. If you’re looking for a good date scent that’s light but not an aquatic/citrus aroma, it’s an option for you. I’d give a 5 or 6/10. ***Update after several weeks of wearing it*** This is really nice. I wear this in the evening when it’s cooler. Smells masculine, floral and aromatic. Just my style. 7.5/10

In Toronto, a 40ml popped up for a low price at the local drugstore. What a treat! Opens with sweet florals, and stays pretty linear. Good mix of iris, sandalwood, vanilla and musk which is nice since it doesn't rely too heavily on a tonka base as other fragrances do. Comparing it to others I own, this reminds me quite a bit of Zegna Intenso but more powdery and much better balanced. This would also compete for any occasions I would use Armani Code Colonia for, however, it is not nearly as strong. Rather than lavender and tonka, I will use this iris-vanilla-tonka combo instead for more intimate occasions as this fragrance did not project very far and stayed noticeable on clothes for about 6 hours. On skin, this is very quiet after an hour, nice and powdery throughout. A good purchase for quiet romantic evenings... not very extreme... just really nice.

Beautiful clearness and mystical spiciness gives the strength of this perfume. This scent gives me that experience just like i'm going about loose in a cypress parkland surrounded by flowers. It's quite an erotical scent as well, manly and exciting! One of the best cypress creation ever! Deep and ethereal. Better works in spring or autumn as i noticed. It lasts 6-9 (intensively 4-6) hours on my skin. Great job Mr. Kors!

It was meant for romantic close encounter moments. A dinner out with someone special because of the hint of sweetness it has. Not a bad & good to have scent in my collection.
