What does Explorer Extreme smell like?
The top notes, sage and bergamot, give a fresh, citrusy start. Patchouli and Ambrofix form the heart, while amber, vetiver and leather take over the base. The accords add a fruity, sweet side, spicy and smoky tones, a synthetic sheen and a leathery edge.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall, spring and winter, with fewer picking summer. It spreads across occasions from daily wear to evenings, and it reads mainly masculine and modern.
