7.5

Extra Virgo · 2022

Pangea

7.8

Extra Virgo · 2022

Citrus · Floral · Green

Extra Virgo Pangea is a unisex scent where Omani black frankincense, truffle absolute and Siam benzoin set an earthy, resinous frame. The notes read as a whole rather than in stages: a resinous, earthy base with powdery Florentine orris absolute over it. Cep and shiitake absolutes add a mushroomy depth, while benzoin keeps the sweetness soft. Citrus, green and floral accords lighten it, so it doesn't settle into a heavy woody-spicy mood. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and leisure and evening wear come up most often. It reads slightly more masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Prada Infusion d'Homme and The Different Company After Midnight have a close profile.

Monte Kush

7.5

Extra Virgo · 2022

Fresh · Floral · Green

Extra Virgo Monte Kush is a unisex scent that takes a fresh, green start and deepens it with rose, oud and smoky resin. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though only a small number of voters have rated it. Most voters place it in autumn and spring, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and suits evenings and nights out too. Italian rosemary and Italian cannabis bring a green, spicy freshness, and terpenes sharpen that herbal note. Damask rose absolute and Turkish rose soften the floral side, while Cambodian oud and Omani green frankincense set a woody, resinous, smoky base. It reads dry rather than sweet, balanced between herbal edge and rose.

Oracle

7.1

Extra Virgo · 2023

Citrus · Green · Spicy

Extra Virgo Oracle is a unisex fragrance where mandarin orange, Italian lemon and juniper berry sit on a green, smoky base. Those who have tried Oracle find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these impressions are still tentative. It reads as cool and smoky, and suits men and women alike. It opens with mandarin orange, Italian lemon and orange for a bright citrus lift. In the heart, Tuscan cypress, Italian sage and juniper berry add a green, spicy, earthy tone. The base of smoky notes and Omani frankincense dries down resinous and woody. Its profile is close to The Fragrance Kitchen At Your Own Risk and Lubin Itasca.

Montecristo

8.0

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Extra Virgo Montecristo is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, spicy and animalic character on a resinous, smoky base. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, with longevity scoring a little higher. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are still tentative. It is unisex, warm and dense, relying more on depth than on show. The scent reads as one piece: the sweet spice of honey and cinnamon leans on the earthy, resinous depth of oakmoss and cistus. Civet and castoreum add an animal warmth, while frankincense and Laotian oud bring a smoky, woody weight. Floral and powdery accents soften this heavy picture. Incense Wood Spirit and Santal Noble have a close profile.

Vesta

7.8

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Extra Virgo Vesta is a unisex scent where honey, beeswax and resin meet in a sweet, spicy warmth. The notes read as one whole: honey, propolis absolute and beeswax give the scent a dense, waxy sweetness. Violet absolute and iris add a soft floral side, while black grape brings a fruity edge. Spices and clove keep it warm, frankincense, benzoin and Chinese oud carry a resinous, woody depth, and peppermint lightens the heavy texture with a touch of coolness. The few voters so far find both longevity and sillage good, and the overall rating is high, though with so few votes this is only a first impression. The dense, sweet character sits comfortably on anyone. Extra Virgo Florilegium and Anatole Lebreton Bois Lumière have a close profile.

Florilegium

7.5

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Extra Virgo Florilegium is a unisex fragrance with a floral, sweet core, spiced by resin and smoke and warmed by an animalic edge. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though with few votes this is more a tendency than a firm verdict. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather, and it reads comfortably on both men and women. Tuberose absolute and gardenia lead the floral side, while honey, vanilla and beeswax add a creamy sweetness. Spices, rum and Chinese oud pull that sweetness towards a woody, smoky depth, and civet with propolis absolute leaves an animalic, resinous trace. It reads as one dense blend rather than separate layers.
