Lapidus Pour Homme Gold Extreme

First Impression: Not even close to 1 Million or any of the flankers. It is a warm spicy scent, but it's actually kinda transparent and hard to detect if you're expecting something super heavy and sweet, it screams of quality though. I think it's beautifully blended and doesn't scream at all. It's more of a subtle masculine spicy accord with a delicious base of vetiver and vanilla. This is ultra modern, does not feel old school at all. This is something totally new and awesome. The clove and pink pepper combo is actually super masculine and understated, this is a very very very sophisticated scent, and I think everyone should definitely try this out on the skin and wear it for a day. It's a refreshing break from other scents, and stands on it's own as being extremely unique. I just need to see how long it lasts, as I type I'm about 30 minutes in and I'm loving it.

This stuff is very nice for a cold winter day. It's a great fragrance around the holidays or after a day of skiing in front of a fire with a glass of wine in your hand. It opens really sweet but give it about 5-10 minutes and what you get is a more moderate sweetness with the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg taking over. If there's leather here, it's not prominent, more like a supporting note. Likewise with the vetiver, it's subtle. This is all about the spices and some sweetness. I really enjoy it. Performance is moderate and totally acceptable. When you consider the price for a 100 ml bottle is around $22, it's a steal. This is a really nice winter fragrance you can spray on without worrying about clearing a room or breaking the bank. It's a winter dumb reach. I'm betting the ladies will like it too.

Really really nice. Yeah, you can say its has the same vibe one million has... but they dont smell the same. If you think silver scent smells like grapes, you can say lapidus gold smells like cherries. Cardamom is the major note in this one. Not a disgusting annoying cardamom but something different and intensive. Vanilla is strong here too, and with the cardamom they brings me something like tonka, thats why in my opinion it remembers me of bogart pour homme but is pretty close to ARSENAL GOLD. Longevity 9/10 and Sillage 9/10.

Very original and strong. Probably not for teenagers but for people well settled and with a strong personality. My son dislikes it but I tested it and was positively surprised and encouraged to dare try it on myself later.

@moondawn I bought this for my partner because of your review, so I wanted to say thank you! We both love it. I really enjoy the balance of spices and vanilla/ amber, which is very masculine but in a lovely huggable way.
