OrientalWhat does Black Extreme smell like?
It opens with tangerine, pepper and bergamot, giving a citrusy, lightly spicy lift. In the heart, orange, tonka bean and tiaré pull it towards a fruity, creamy side. Cedarwood, vanilla and sandalwood form the base, and it settles into a sweet, gourmand, woody finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, followed by spring, with summer far behind. It is worn across daily use, leisure, evenings and the office. Most voters find it masculine and modern. Montblanc Legend Night and Zara C4SHMER4N have a close profile.
