28 – Inspired by BULGARI EXTREME

Description

• Launch & Creator
  Introduced in 1999 by Bvlgari. The scent was created by perfumer Jacques Cavallier.

• Fragrance Family & Style
  Woody-aromatic. It leans toward freshness paired with classic masculine woody tones. It’s refined, somewhat formal, yet approachable.

• Note Structure

  • Top notes: Tea, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Petitgrain, Neroli, Lavender, Coriander, Galbanum
    Starts off with bright citrus and green freshness, with herbal and lightly floral lifting touches.

  • Heart (middle): Nutmeg, Pepper, Cardamom, Brazilian Rosewood, Balsam Fir, Guaiac Wood
    The middle adds a spicy character, some warmth, and a richer woodiness. The heart bridges the fresh top into a more grounded base.

  • Base notes: Musk, Cedar, Iris, Oakmoss, Sandalwood
    In the dry down, the woods and moss become more prominent, softened by musk and iris, giving a smooth, elegant finish.

• Scent Evolution & Feel
  The opening is bright and crisp — citrus jumps out, green tea adds a clean herbal tea-like vibe. As it settles, you get spices (pepper, nutmeg, cardamom) working together with woods, making it deeper and more textured. Finally, the woods and moss anchor the scent, smoothing it into something warm and subtle, yet still noticeable.

• Longevity & Projection
  Moderate to good — it projects well in the first hour or two (especially the citrus & spice) and then transitions to a more skin-close scent, though the base stays around. It lasts several hours, enough for daytime wear or evening wind-downs.

• Best Use / When It Shines
  Excellent for spring, summer, and moderate climates because the freshness holds up well. Suitable for daytime, work settings, casual to semi-formal events. Because of its woods and spicy-heart, it also can carry into evening if you want something that’s clean yet mature. Might be a bit light for very cold nights or heavy weather if you prefer strong projection then.

• Character & Vibe
  It gives off confidence without being loud. Sophisticated, mature, clean. Something someone wears when they want to smell good and elegant, not overwhelming. It leans classic, with touches of vintage style. It’s one of those fragrances that can feel timeless.
