Man Extreme

Man Extreme, inspired by Bvlgari Man Extreme (2013)

Man Extreme opens on pink grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot, with cactus juice adding a watery, green coolness. Guatemalan cardamom gives the heart a fresh spice, freesia (a light, peppery flower) keeps it airy, and amber adds body. Haitian vetiver, with its earthy, rooty edge, takes over as it dries down. Woody notes and benzoin, a vanilla-like resin, support it in the base.

About the original

Bvlgari released Man Extreme in 2013 as a flanker of Bvlgari Man (2010), with Alberto Morillas usually credited as the perfumer. Its launch copy called it elegant, deep and intense, and it came in a silver bottle with silver and black packaging. Bvlgari's current Man collection lists Wood Essence, In Black, Glacial Essence and Rain Essence but not Extreme, and it is widely reported as discontinued.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Bvlgari stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Clean and citrus-led at first, it becomes more grounded as the vetiver comes through. It suits someone who wants an aromatic scent with some depth but no heavy sweetness.
