Limited 71 Extrait de Parfum

I have been on a fragrance journey for years, but nothing prepared me for the sheer brilliance of WIDIAN's Limited 71 Extrait de Parfum. This isn't just a scent; it's an experience—liquid gold that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression. It instantly became a staple in my collection. Limited 71 masterfully balances invigorating freshness with deep, resinous warmth. The opening is a vibrant, almost electric, burst of bergamot, balanced beautifully with the herbal, aromatic touches of lavender and sage. It’s an unexpected opening for such a rich scent profile, immediately captivating the senses. As it settles, the fragrance transitions into a smoky, opulent heart. The combination of Akigalawood and cashmeran creates an incredibly smooth, slightly spicy, and distinctly woody core. The hint of bay leaf adds an intriguing, dry oriental spice that is both sophisticated and mysterious. The dry-down is where the true magic unfolds. It melts into a deep, warm, and sensual base of rich oudwood, earthy patchouli, and a prominent amber note. The final result is a slightly sweet, ambery, and woody trail that feels both ancient and daringly modern. Performance: Beast Mode Longevity This is where Limited 71 truly shines. As an Extrait de Parfum, the performance is nothing short of exceptional. I’m talking all-day longevity—8 to 12 hours easily on my skin. The projection and sillage are strong yet refined; you will be noticed and complimented, but the scent bubble remains elegant, never overpowering. It projects confidence and luxury. When to Wear It? While the freshness gives it some versatility, its rich, warm composition makes it a perfect signature scent for cooler weather, elegant evenings, or special occasions where you want to project an aura of mystery and refined taste. Does the price point hurt a little? Yes, absolutely. But the quality of ingredients, the complexity of the blend, and the beast-mode performance make it worth every penny. WIDIAN Limited 71 is a masterpiece that stands out among a sea of generic releases. Don't sleep on this secret weapon; it's pure liquid crack for the nose. My Rating: 9.5/10 (Only deducting a half point for the price tag!) The performance? Mind-blowing. It’s expensive, yes, but this is top-tier perfumery that gets compliments every single time. A must-have for serious collectors.

Can someone please confirm if the notes listed above are correct for this particular 2022 Widian 71 Limited extrait de parfum (bronze bottle), as I don't think they are. Some of the comments below mention Lavender. There is no Lavender in this. Just incase you purchase it based on the notes listed above or some of the comments mentioned below. I did a bit of research and what I've established is that the notes shown above are the exact same notes listed for the Widian Limited 71 Extreme 2018 edition (the pure black bottle). I purchased the above 2022 Widian Limited 71 extrait de parfum (the bronze bottle) from Javoy Paris and they, as well as some other retailers selling it, have listed the incorrect notes as listed above with Lavender, Sage and Oud Wood as the top notes, when it does not. There was no mention of any notes in the box, which was very annoying. And this perhaps is why there is confusion with the correct notes. The official Widian website and the Parfumo website have the "correct" notes listed for this. And it does not correspond with the notes listed above. This, to me smells quite similar to Dior Sauvage Elixir with the Nutmeg scent coming out strong, except maybe a rich mans version of it. It is infused with a rich blend of incense and exotic spices, and is classed as a Fougere-Ambery fragrance that captivates your senses and leaves you spellbound as quoted by the official Widian website. The notes for the Widian 71 Extreme 2018 (the pure black bottle), has the Sage, Lavender and Oud Wood listed as their top notes. The official Widian website confirms the following notes. I copied and pasted them for ease of reference. Limited 71 Extreme (2018 pure black bottle). Top notes Bergamot, Sage and Lavender Middle notes Bays, Dry Amber, Akigalawood and Cashmeran Base notes Oudwood, Patchouli, Amber and Vetiver. The "above" 2022 Limited 71 extrait de parfum (the bronze bottle) Top notes Bergamot, Nutmeg and Coriander Middle notes Grey Amber, Oud Smoke and Patchouli Base notes Dry Amber, White Musk and Incense.

I simply can’t get over it—I’m at the same time baffled, surprised, and annoyed when I read that people associate this perfume with Initio - Oud for Greatness. My question to you is: How?? Where? With what nose are you smelling this? I honestly don’t understand where Oud for Greatness is in this. Show me with your finger, guide both my nostrils, enlighten me, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... So, no—Liwa has absolutely no connection to Oud for Greatness. Limited 71 also has not a single link to OFG. Now, the review: The scent is truly very similar to Liwa, but with more spices. I’d say it’s a more masculine version of Liwa, and slightly fresher too. An ideal fragrance, absolutely perfect. But in order to bust the myth, I had to consult a guy. I asked him directly, because he's someone who has tried ALL the limited versions of this perfume. And the truth is—there’s no difference. They're all the same. The differences are so small, so invisible, so insignificant, really. It’s the same fragrance with slight reformulations. Still long-lasting, still powerful, still produced in limited batches—and that’s it. Mystery solved. A beautiful masterpiece.

Gorgeous!!! Beast mode mix of Oud for Greatness and Bin Shaikh with much superior blending and ingredients that smell much more natural. The Oud here is similar to the one in Awfa. Superb blending. It’s slightly fruity and sweet compared to LV’s Nouveau Monde and similar in some ways to New York Oud by Bond No 9. Overall very pleasant, great for evening wear and above average performance. Shukran Habibi!

This is spectacular. Just perfect. Nothing more to say just quietly enjoy by myself. Nobody should wear this except me. I urge you all to not buy this stuff it's too expensive anyways. You can buy a liter of some other half decent soup for that dough. so there.
