What does Orient Extreme smell like?

As a whole, the scent rests on the warm sweetness of honey and benzoin. Sandalwood and patchouli give it a woody base, oakmoss brings the chypre side, and rose adds a soft floral note. Citrus notes lighten the heavier sweetness a little, and musk keeps everything smooth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated as strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Voters lean slightly feminine, though a good share read it as masculine, so it sits somewhere in between. Caron Pour Une Femme de Caron and Roja Parfums Amber Aoud Absolue Précieux have a close profile.
