Signature Extrême Parfum Extrait

The fragrance that embodies "Don't judge a book by its cover." Don't let the polarizing, yet weirdly addicting opening scare you off. Its like a dragon protecting a vast treasure. This one, I didn't like it at first, at all. The opening pushed me to draw conclusions fast. You get a blast of dirty, oudy, smokey birch. Its very dirty. But then, against all odds, the opening grew on me. And then, I was revealed a mid and drydown that are absolutely heavenly. This scent is vastly different from opening to drydown, its a ride. Very long lasting, not overpowering (after it settles), but very present. Believe it or not, I wear this in hot weather in Mexico. The first 30 minutes give or take are going to be more polarizing (and you may just fall in love after a few wearings like I did), but after that it starts to morph into a deep myrrh heavy, incense delight that I can't get enough of. In summary, polarizing opening that has potential to be that weird, dirty smell addiction that grows on you out of nowhere. Mid and drydown - frankincense and myrrh heaven that doesn't quit. A true fragrance roller coaster. Sample, sample, sample first. But, you need a MINIMUM of three separate and FULL wearings to allow your nose to flower to the magic of this one. At the end, you may find yourself with one of those hidden gems that not everyone gets, but you adore. And surprisingly, is cold weather and warm weather versatile.

Was not immediately a love for me in all honesty. It starts off a bit here and a bit there with a smokiness that initially almost seems out of place. After a couple minutes it starts to calm down and I can detect less smokiness and spice and oud start to make themselves felt. Around the same time a creaminess comes into play like chocloate but not chocolate in smell. It is at this point that I really find it near impossible to stop smelling it. Give it a few wears and I think most will really begin to fall in love with this one as I did

This juice is a BEEEEEEEEEEAST. And in a good way. Zaharoff really turned up the concentration from the original. Still smells like the original but much more potent. And it wasn't weak to begin with. Using this in moderation is the key. More is not better, regardless of how much you may brag about how many sprays you're wearing.

Come on man! This smells clean. This smells like that heavy duty industrial grade abrasive green soap mechanics use. The kind that comes in big metal cans. Edit: And there might be some beef jerky in there.

This is a dark and dirty (in a great way) version of Signature Pour Homme. I really love this version!
