What does Eau Sauvage Extrême (1982) (Eau de Toilette Concentrée) smell like?

It opens with lavender, lemon, bergamot and basil up front. Toward the heart, sandalwood, jasmine and rosemary join in, and the base of amber, cedar and oakmoss settles it onto an earthy, woody footing. The overall impression is fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with fewer choosing winter. It suits daytime through evening and reads masculine and classic. Giorgio Armani Eau pour Homme and Rochas Eau de Rochas have a close profile.
