What does Extreme Story smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close without disappearing. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter the least chosen. Leisure, daily wear and the office top the occasions, and it reads as masculine and modern.

In the top, lemon, tangerine and bergamot give a bright citrus start, while pepper and elemi resin add a light spice. The heart brings a soft floral touch through violet, peony and lavender. Vetiver, patchouli and amber leave a sweet, woody base.
