Online Houbigant Duc de Vervins L’Extreme

Duc de Vervins L’Extreme is a citrus, aromatic, earthy, scent created for men in 1991.

Review

This scent is a longer lasting version of the original Duc de Vervins. A higher oil concentration intensifies everything, creating the feeling of more of everything. This scent is not so simple, compared to its original. It is still perfectly suitable for all occasions, from office to casual to formal, and will last much longer. It is comparable to vintage Drakkar Noir from Guy Laroche, as well as vintage Polo Green from Ralph Lauren.

Inspiration

Duc de Vervins L’Extreme is just as it seems…..a more extreme, or intense, version of its original counterpart. Its composition is intensified, resulting in a longer lasting scent. The adventurous man knows no bounds here.

Notes

Refreshing Bergamot and Lemon burst forth, awakening your senses. These citruses fall slightly to the background as the spicy and herbal nuances of the heart take over. Cumin, Nutmeg and Rosemary stand above the Lavender here. Earthy Oakmoss and Patchouli blend effortlessly, holding up the lighter notes and helping them stand out and last longer.
