What does Extreme Power Special Edition (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon and galbanum. The heart brings geranium, Granny Smith apple and coffee, with the apple adding a fruity note and the coffee feeding the sweet, spicy side. In the base, patchouli, white cedarwood, tonka bean and sandalwood give it a woody footing, with a synthetic edge in the background.

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, though the number of votes is small. It reads as a light, everyday men's scent. Versace Eros Flame and La Rive Gallant have a close profile.
