Terre d'Hermes or Grey Vetiver are my favorites. I just got my Encre Noir a l'Extreme in and I love it, very cypress-y. Arguably the best value vs. price I've ever seen in a fragrance, paid 20€ for 100ML, performance is good, presentation is awesome imo

This one (al extreme) was my VERY FIRST blind buy EVER, i bought it based only on notes that are in it. And it was a TOTAL HIT - bullseye! I guess it was beginner's luck, because since then i did many blind-buys, but none od them so IDEAL as the first one, with Lalique en al extreme! Great fragrance, best value for it's price! Cheers!

@gregornovak70752 жыл бұрын
@@carlito7863 exactly! But when i tried it in summer (not at highest temperatures but f.i. at summr evening), it was also amazing, so i would say that al' extreme is for year round, except for hotest days, but then sport gets it's turn and it works great (although name "sport" is used because other fragrances use name "sport" when they are more "summery" or "casual' or "fresh", so in case of sport version i really don't get the name..); i hope it helped, cheers!

I absolutely love this one! I love the original, and it is the one that started my passion for fragrances along with Guerlain LIDGE, but À l'Extrême is even better than the original. It adds a lightly smoky, very resinous, incense-y, balsamic and oud-ish side which to me gives it a big "classier" vibe. A bit like adding some C.D.Garçons Wonderoud/wood to Encre Noire. It is niche both in its polarizing, not mainstream, commun smell and the quality of its ingredients. And for the price you can find it online, it's ridiculous. Glad it's got some attention here.

Sycomore by Chanel is the most refined of all. For the summer , I wear Vetiver Babylone from Armani , a very beautiful citrus Vetiver scent , better than Terre by Hermes in my opinion.
