Paul Smith Extreme Man Paul Smith for men

it gives me headache when I wear it. it smells like ysl live jazz

A sharp pleasant citrus opening that fades within 30 minutes and becomes extremely close to the skin. I use this scent for the gym only. Actually, it's perfect for the gym: non-offensive, not loud/nauseating, and lasts only a few hours. Very clean. Poor sillage and longevity but a nice fresh fragrance you can use frequently for everyday activities. Harmless.
Overall: 6/10

Do you know that smell when you get into a brand-new car? Yep.. that's what I got with this one. And then, after 20 minutes or so it becomes nauseating.

What a great fragrance. Puts a smile on your face on every occasion. It has the joy of a nice spring day when you are walking on green grass in a park with birds singing, sun shining above and dogs and squirrels running around. This is the scent for those times. No matter how much you apply it never gets cloying. Very fresh, semi sweet, peppery, legendary scent. Thanks Paul Smith.

note: sillage and longevity are average

Occasion: Spring and fall, day & night, casual and formal.

The citric blast opening was instant no for me, but I can't help but know, in disappointment, that without it, I would have bought this scent on the spot, especially since it was reduced to clear. I also know from experience that I would have regret it :-/
This is a very odd smell that I swore was riddled with patchouli, it has a peculiar green, woody smell I can't get past.
If you can get past the horrid, citric opening, try it.

Dears, maybe the name "Extreme" comes of "extreme diference from the traditional version", wich is one of my signatures.

However, I recognize its qualities, and I like to use it day-by-day.
Like Cassiano said, has "nothing to add", just pure rosemary in a sweet and a bit floral drydown.

This a correct perfume... just correct, made for "good guys".
THe sillage is average, good staying power and well done.

Similar to Apparition Homme- E. Ungaro, but by far with twice its longevity.

i like this more than the women version, smells like laundromat

My partner loves to spray a lot of perfume and with this one I never feel it's too much. A fresh fragrance to wear dayly and not so common in my opinion, at least I'm not so used to smell it around like XS or Kenzo for an example.
A nice gift to buy without knowing the persons preferences cause I think it's difficult not to appreciate, unoffensive and nice.

My husband smells like indian food and fabris softener when her wears this. Not a bad thing.

The word "Extreme" has nothing to do with this fragrance whatsoever. Instead, it should be named "Normal". Paul Smith Extreme isn't very strong or invasive to anyone. It's very suitable for office wear or everyday basis. It's the kind of fragrance that I can just wear whenever I don't feel like wearing anything too spectacular; let's say... Hermes or Le Labo. The start can get a little fruity fresh but it will eventually dry down to a crisp and clean peppery woody scent. Tonka bean isn't very sweet here while the rosewood and geranium are the main characters in this composition. Again, this is a very normal fragrance, so don't expect too much from it. You may be disappointed.

Its a light, pleasent scent but its lasting power is absolutely abismal.

Good for guys who dont usually wear fragrance as it wont annoy anybody, but is individual enough to be noticed.

Its a fresh peppery/spicy scent. Its very pleasant. To me, it's Paul Smith's 2nd best (after Paul Smith Men) It's a very nice smell.

this is really refreshing scent..its like squeezing a lemon and bergamot together. and when it dries down..it turn into floral woody citrusy scent...longevity is average and sileage is average..

its a fun smell to wear..but not extreme to me

Paul smith has some really nice perfumes i loved this extreme perfume it was perfect for all thing summer winter day night etc... smells uniwue and lasts a long time

I am always amused by fragrances that are inappropriately or inaccurately named. This is one of them. The opening for this is a crisp combination of citrus and spice, but not in a "knock your socks off" kind of way. The only thing "extreme" about this is the "extreme"-ly low price I paid for it at Kmart.

Having said all that, I really do like this fragrance very much indeed (enough in fact to go out and buy a second bottle after I initially bought it blind).

As the citrus settles down, the wood and spices really predominate and this is when the fragrance is at its best. The wood is simply magnificent.

I am not that familiar with rosewood as a note, but the woodiness in this fragrance is deep and rich, yet mellow at the same time: it spans the gap between the more subtle woody fragrances I own (e.g. Oxygene by Lanvin) and really "in your face" super-strong ones like Givenchy Gentleman.

The longevity is quite reasonable - three hours in a hot Australian summer. Given that during summer, hardly anything lasts very long on my acidic, perspiration-prone skin, three hours is not bad.

This is not "extreme", but it is an "extreme"-ly well executed fragrance.

for me this is an excellent casual non offensive scent, with distinctive woody accents, bit of spice, pepper maybe, i have great memories when i first wore it, maybe this made it special to me .. anyways, althought quite synthetic smelling, it`s very balanced ...

shorter longevity and small to medium sillage ... casual and suitable to work / office ... always having 100ml bottle supply for me ... very cheap .. can be worn in cold weather aswell imho ...

Paul smith extreme is citrusy but the woody-floral scent defeats the citrus. so those thinking this is another citrus-wood summer scent is mistaken.

it's a good night/cold weather scent IMO.

i cant say its my favorite cologne, however i do wear it alot. the fruity/spicy combination is cool to me because i can wear it just about anywhere. until i find a better fragrance with that combination i'll stick with this one.

paul smith does a great job with all of his scents

I love this scent on my boyfriend. I agree with guyspfld about the spice and the citrus. I like it when my boyfriend wears this scent in the summer. It makes me feel summery and I think he likes it too ;-)

Perfume of the type " nothing to add". It is a nice, but common fragrance. It has long lasting on my skin. However, I do not have the intention to buy another bottle for my collection.

Great scent...I really notice the spice, but it is matched by great citrus

This is my fav at the moment, a bit strong at first but very floral afterward. Always makes me smile when I wear it, really nice scent.

Wow! Paul Smith is the man. I had bought this a few weeks ago and left it on the shelf. I tried it on and got lots of favorable comments. This one is a keeper.
