What does UDV Extreme smell like?

The top notes of tarragon, mint and lavender give it a fresh, herbal start, while tonka bean sweetens it from the outset. In the heart, cedarwood and cinnamon lead, with iris adding a soft, powdery touch. The base of vanilla, benzoin and musk settles it into a warm, oriental finish.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer comes well behind. It suits leisure time, evenings and nights out, and some also wear it to the office. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) and Miro Cabal pour Homme have a close profile.
