Lapidus Pour Homme Black Extreme

I find this to be a very underrated scent that should have become more popular. It can be bought for around €20 new here in Ireland for 100ml which is a good deal. Firstly, the bottle, while unusual looking and definitely looks like something from the 80s (some might say dated, some might say its unique/nostalgic), it is made from plastic on the cap, and black glass on the main part. It is not see through in anyway. The box is nice, with a cool hologram sticker, I assume to check the authenticity of the bottle you bought. The atomiser is very good, with great dispersion that travels a good distance. Only the trigger is a bit cheap feeling with not the most solid plastic trigger. So, the smell. The initial blast is quite harsh, but fruity. You can easily smell both the fruit and the pepper combo in the top notes. It dries down to a nice, smooth, unique smelling blend with the pepper being very prominent. It is quite a mature, strong, masculine scent, and ive seen some compare it to "1 Million". Seriously? There is very little comparison here. The only comparison is the projection/longevity class, and the initial fruity blast of the top notes. While its not the fruity, soft fragrance that most women tend to love in general, it definitely gets a few compliments in the few weeks ive had it. Which is better than most. On my skin, its not a "clubbing monster" in terms of projection, it definitely projects better than most, and has great longevity (10+ hours). I definitely recommend this if your looking for a good projecting fragrance that doesnt break the bank, that has a mature smell, but smells unique. I've not smelt anything like this before (but ive only started my fragrance journey a few months ago, but still). I guess this didn't sell well due to the price, which is a shame, but it's worthy addition to your collection.

So, the questions are always the same: “Is it similar to the original?”, “It lasts like the original?”, “It projects like the original?”. The basic answer is: YES! This version could be the “modern” version of the traditional, ready for the market that claims for colognes with a touch of niche perfumery, without the 80’s aroma and with the ballad and one night stand focus. While the traditional is a bomb full of notes (like honey, pine, pineapple, incense, roots, etc.), this one has less notes and variations, which makes it easy to identify some nuances. It opens with some citric (which I really don’t recognize), black pepper and violet leaves (very noticeable), that splicing in the middle part with saffron, woods and the orange blossom. This orange blossom note gives a touch that reminds me of Fleur du Male (even though 20x subtle). To finish, tonka beans and labdanum, as strong as grey amber. The result: a strong and sweet cologne, with a hint of the traditional smell – you really swear that it is present – and with excellent projection and lasting power, which is a standard in Ted Lapidus colognes. In my opinion, it can be worn in many places and situations (cinema, dinner, bowling, work, etc.) since the weather is cold. I know there is no rules to wear a cologne, but I am a little bit severe with this flexible use of fresh scents at the winter (cold places) and/or gourmand and strong scents at the summer (hot places). I rather use the good sense! And, if I could give an opinion to its creator, I should say: “put a little bit of aoud. It is going to be extraordinary!”. Once again, Ted Lapidus makes a cologne that will divide opinions but, with no doubts, has excellent quality.

This is a gorgeous deep, dark and refined fragrance. Great for the night/cold weather. It's an "Encre Noir type of perfume - " to love or hate, nothing in between". I love it, my wife hates it. For me it's an absolute masterpiece. Upon initial spray, it comes on quite bold. It's a sharp scent of a dark pepperish violet, and a hint of orange. After the opening the manly dark scent remains but you note the orange note growing together with an exotic flower and woody notes. It becomes just a bit sweeter and smokier and a bit darker as well. Its longevity is easily 12+ hours. Don't over spray or it may become intrusive to the people around you due to its heavy dark/middle notes and heavy sillage. You get a very lovable dry down with a very strong tonka note backed up exotic flowers. So you get still a dominant dark smoky scent but always with a hint of a flowerish gourmand scent in the background. In terms of longevity it's not a beast but it is well above average. This EDT smells expensive and and in line with what you expect from a Lapidus/Bogart black extreme fragrance. It is indeed a very nice juice and one of a kind. It does not pretend to clone anything and I like it that way with its proper individuality. My rates Scent:9.0 Longevity:9,5 Sillage:9.0 Unique:8.0 Quality:8.5 Wearability: 9,0 Overall rating: 8.83/10,0 I love this frag. Edit - The dry down is absolutely fantastic.

Just got a 100ml bottle based on reviews here. I saw the notes, and heard 'sweet' from reviewers, and was expecting something more like AZZARO SILVER BLACK/ONYX... so I was a little dissapointed upon first smell.. But that was my own pre-conceived fault. The initial spray seemed 'strange' to me (as in I wasn't expecting anything like it)... then after a while, i sniffed my wrist, and I liked it more (?), and upon a small re-application (not that it needs it because longevity is monstrous), it smelled absolutely PHENOMENAL. Maybe I haven't smelt as many scents as others, but to me this smells very original... even the bottle design looks like it came off the set of Prometheus, I really can't fault this fragrance. LAPIDUS PH BLACK EXTREME really surprised and impressed the hell out of me. This is a modern masterpiece. --------------------------------------------- SILLAGE: perfect LONGEVITY: excellent SCENT: excellent BOTTLE: strange (like a HR Geiger design) VALUE FOR MONEY: great OVERALL: 10/10 --------------------------------------------- PS: I own both this and the classic PH (and love them both), but this one projects and lasts a bit better to my nose... That isn't saying much though, because they both last for weeks :)

Blind Buy Not disappointed... Modern perfume with retro vibes... citrus spicy In my opinion this stuff is manly n have a great performance with good prices ( for some people it's very cheap ) Longevity n sillage is good... I prefer spray on clothes and its last a day.. But if i spray on my skin i get some good manly top notes n pretty nice drydown... And i don't found harsh smell like some people wrote in review... And this is lovely oriental woody fragrance... Buat anak2 indo... Monggo guys di serbu nih perfume.. Di jun 2020 utubers parfum indo belum ngebahas nih parfume.. Buruan sikat...
