What does Desire Extreme smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it lasts without filling the room. Voters lean towards night out and evening wear, though leisure, business and daily use also get a share. The number of longevity and sillage votes is small, so those ratings are only a rough guide.

It opens bright and fruity with bergamot, blood orange and saffron, then gains body from cypress and clary sage. The base of vetiver, leather, patchouli and amber takes over, turning sweeter and drying down smoky and leathery.
