What does L'Humaniste Extrême smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and it also works in autumn, while winter is chosen less often. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads more masculine, though it stays unisex.
The top notes of cardamom, lemon, black pepper, pink pepper and bergamot give a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, quince adds a fruity touch while nutmeg and patchouli set the spice on a woody base. In the base, tolu balm and tonka bean sweeten the scent and moss keeps it green.
