VETIVER EXTREME
Description
Many of the same notes in the original are present in Vetiver Extreme. Notwithstanding, the scent is less hesperidic and more spicy. Tarragon brings a spicy licorice hue, and ‘frankincense adds a dramatically smoky quality’ to the heart. Enhanced with cedarwood and tonka bean, the drydown is slightly more oriental.

Despues de mucho tiempo de curiosidad y admiración por las fragancias de Guerlain, hace dos días encontré en Buenos Aires una pequeña perfumeria con muchas fragancias importantes, de narices emblemáticos. Una de ellas fué vetiver extreme. Y fue todo lo que creí que era. Una fragancia imponente y seductora. Con notas de maderas ahumadas y picante, verde y tónica un frescor salvage, que trasmite energia pura.

This is an outstanding cologne. It may be dissed by the rubes of the world but it is top-notch! My only complaint is that many pumps of the aerosol has to be used to extract the savory notes of manliness--it is a weak cologne without repeated applications.
