Paul Smith Extreme Eau de Toilette for Women, 100ml

Product Information

I wouldn't use this for evenings/special ocassions as it lacks longevity and doesn't pack a 'night-out punch', but it's great in the day (maybe not in summer, when something cooler may be required) and also nice for cosy nights in. Missed payments may affect your ability to use Clearpay in the future and your details may be passed onto a debt collection agency working on Clearpay's behalf. I've tried repeatedly to get on with this fragrance, but the opening is so thoroughly nasty that I'm now officially giving up on it. The first effect of the scent brings forth notes of lush black currant, mandarin, green tea, and citrusy bergamot.

It overrides the rest of the scent and the result is very stale and flat, like fresh cut grass mixed with cream, a bad combination. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. Extreme Woman is one of the best known fragrances by the brand Paul Smith and a perennial bestseller.Although I wouldn't consider this my signature scent, nor would I say this scent is particularly outstanding, I do keep on coming back to it. I get perhaps mandarin and vanilla and a little spice, something that could be a nice scent if it weren't also oddly stale and bitter, like some green herb or spicy/herbal floral. As these float away, they expose the base of amber with its warm, resinous, and decidely oriental scent, vetiver, erotic patchouli, cedar, and rich sandalwood.

I particularly find that this perfume is one of the few perfumes that I own that I know will not be too strong for me to wear around pregnant friends and coworkers (sharpened/altered sense of smell). Floral without being too lush, musky without being too sexy, and mercifully, clean and only very slightly sweet. You need a bit of magnolia white in a house, but the whole thing painted in the colour would be a bit too dull without some sort of accent.

Launched in 2002, this is a bold and sexy scent blended with notes of blackcurrant, cedarwood and sensual amber, making it a true classic with a twist. At first it's fairly fresh, something like a warm lawn/grass smell, then I usually get a hint of spiced orange, maybe a little mulled wine and a sprinkling of black pepper. Though the larger quantity generally represents a better deal, the smaller size is perfect for testing as scents can smell differently depending upon the pH of your skin and how it mingles with your other skincare products.
