This fragrance has excellent longevity and a strong, intense scent. You need to apply it sparingly. If you overdo it, the scent can become overpowering. Just a light spritz on the nape of your neck is enough to release a long-lasting, rich aroma. - Hwahae UserOily SkinOct 16, 2016
I've been using CK One as my basic fragrance, and I switch to John Varvatos depending on my mood and the weather. I've been using CK since I was 20 years old, and after 4 years, the scent has become a bit tiring, and lately, I've been feeling that the fragrance is a bit overwhelming. I've been wondering if it's not a bit too much sometimes. So while exploring new fragrances, I remembered Gucci Guilty and Flower by Kenzo, and I went to Olive Young to test them out. After smelling various scents and taking notes, I went out to grill meat with a friend. On the way out, I lit a cigarette, and a very subtle fragrance wafted from my hand. It was a slightly floral scent, not too strong, with a soft, earthy undertone, and a musky dry-down. I quickly checked my notes and found that it was Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme. After actually purchasing and using it, I've come to the conclusion that I made a great choice. The scent is not overbearing, it's subtle and sophisticated. The top note is a bit sharp, with a grassy, alcohol-like accord, but the middle notes of soft floral and powder blend beautifully. The well-composed base note also nicely rounds out the lingering effect of the middle notes. It's time for me to bid farewell to the CK One I've been using for 4 years and get better acquainted with Bvlgari. The longevity of the fragrance is very short. Even though the "Extreme" version was released to address the longevity issues of the original, the longevity is still disappointing. The top note barely lasts 10 minutes, and the middle notes last around 1-2 hours. The base note is similar to the middle notes, so it's hard to distinctly notice the base notes, and you can only detect a very subtle, faint woody aroma. The initial spray has a very strong alcohol note. Even in subsequent sprays, the first 1-2 minutes have a slightly harsh quality. It seems they used this method to try to boost the longevity, but compared to the original, the top note is significantly more potent. For those who are used to wearing slightly heavier, more lingering fragrances, it may be difficult to gauge how much of the Bvlgari scent remains on you throughout the day. Those who typically wear fresh scents like Ferrari or Acqua-based fragrances may find this fragrance quite jarring, and they may even dislike it. Since this is a subtly rising floral-musky fragrance, good application areas are the wrists and behind the ears. However, spraying it slightly above the ankles can also work well. If you apply it at a height that's not covered by your shoes, the scent can gently diffuse upwards, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance throughout the day. This fragrance is recommended for those in their mid-20s to early 30s. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinAug 2, 2016
The fragrance was so strong that it almost stung my nose, but it lasted all day. The notes that emerged over time were not bad either. I used it when I was a carefree high school student.. (haha) When I was in high school and didn't know much about perfumes, I bought this one and was surprised by the ginger-like scent. The fragrance seems a bit harsh. I hope you can adjust the spray amount well! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 8, 2016
It has better longevity than Bleu de Chanel. It is one of the most popular men's fragrances that can be counted on ten fingers. It has a very different scent from Bleu de Chanel. If you're buying it just because it has better longevity than Bleu de Chanel, I don't recommend it. The scent has become cluttered. I recommend buying Bleu de Chanel.
