WoodyWhat does Extreme Women smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange, blackcurrant and freesia. In the heart, sweet acacia and heliotrope carry the floral side towards a powdery sweetness. The base of musk, cedarwood and amber dries down quietly, with gourmand and woody touches staying in the background.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It reads feminine. Oriflame Amber Elixir and Roberto Cavalli Florence have a close profile.
