Bvlgari Man Extreme by Bvlgari

What a pity that this olfactory masterpiece has disappeared. I’m left with almost 15 ml of the bottle and I cherish it like gold. It’s simply a beautiful fragrance.

Hidden gems of perfumery; undoubtedly the best fresh men’s aroma. Morillas does it again. It transports you to an oasis in the desert surrounded by cacti and a pool of fresh water; that kind of mature, distinguished freshness, with no room for childish games. Powerful opening with cactus, grapefruit, and astringent bergamota, followed by a hard-to-explain scent that is fresh, mature, and powerful. This is what Bruce Wayne would wear after taking off the Batman suit to head to the coast in his Lamborghini. In my opinion, one of the best scents ever created… but it has a major flaw: the performance is disappointing. After 30-40 minutes, goodbye to what makes this fragrance powerful; the projection is almost non-existent and it stays close to the skin. The trail is weak and brief, nearly non-existent after the first hour. It’s for intimate enjoyment, a treat for yourself, not for others. To conclude, if you are a fan of Morillas’ work and fresh citrus, you must have it; it can’t be missing from your collection. The scent is so delicious that the weak performance fades into the background. It’s worth it for this sublime aroma. Ideal for those who exercise power, teach, or hold leadership positions. Fragrance: 10/10 Longevity: 3/10 Projection: 4/10 Price: 8/10

A friend wore this fragrance and for me, the grapefruit smells like stepping in a manure pile; that’s the note at its worst perception for my nose; but the cactus note (very well executed) made me want to smell it again. Below, the vetiver gave it continuity until it dried down to woody notes. I could smell the fragrance from two meters away for at least 6 hours. I think the cactus note gives a different twist to something already seen.

The original version of this flanker gives me a sense of pleasure that few fragrances give me. I approached the Extreme version looking for that potency, trail, and longevity that the first one lacked. While I didn’t find them, I found other facets that I personally value more. Class, freshness, but not citrusy; more like air conditioning, a bit more artificial than the first, but pure enjoyment. I put it on and immediately get compliments. No need to wait for that. For 4 hours, I feel it in the air; then I reapply. It’s maximum elegance, it’s an executive in his office with a window overlooking the buildings in the area, a man who knows what he wants but doesn’t try to show it permanently. Totally underrated; if it weren’t because I love the original, I never would have known it. Therefore, you won’t feel it in the environment you move in; you can stand out for originality. Thanks Morillas for this.

One of Morillas’ best creations, a citrus nothing like usual, very special and unlike anything on the market. It opens with luminous and elegant woody citrus, soon the cactus juice note takes the spotlight; it’s a sweet-sour tone, very tasty, insanely sexy, and pleasurable. Among the scents that bring me the most compliments in my collection. Average longevity for fresh designer scents, 6 hours, nothing to object to. For hot and daytime climates, better if it’s for a semi-formal occasion. PERFUMACO

One of my favorites in these accords; I know and am passionate about cacti, but that juice I mentioned, if anyone can tell me what it smells like or how to identify it because I still can’t notice it. Bergamot, woods, and cardamom make a unique and indispensable perfume in a collection; this is a true gem, and if I had to pay $150, I would; I love it. A fragrance that gives an impeccable clean sensation; with this one, it’s my third bottle in my collection, and I’m not one to repeat fragrances, and this one has managed to be in that small percentage. It won’t be as famous or common, but if you come across this review, don’t hesitate to try it; I’m more than sure you’ll like it.

I walked into a perfume shop in León, Guanajuato, and the bottle caught my eye (I really admire the Bvlgary line). I asked for a sample and loved it, but the price (1800 MXN for 100 ml) made me hesitate and regret it, since it was exactly what I was looking for: fresh, green, spicy, and citrusy. Fortunately, weeks later I found it at Costco for 700 MXN and grabbed it. It’s already my second bottle and it’s exquisite. To those who say it doesn’t project or last, I don’t know how they use it; on my skin, it easily lasts 12 hours and is noticeable up to a meter away. Even with a long-sleeved shirt, the scent survived washing on the collar and sleeves. 8.5/10

Very Bulgari, very Italian. I don’t know what some Bulgari perfumes have that makes me feel good, put-together, clean, and like a happy, dapper gentleman. I don’t wear perfume for others; I wear it for myself, for pleasant sensations. My nose is sensitive to delicate scents, but with class, and this subtle fragrance certainly doesn’t lack class and style. Of course, if others happen to catch the scent, even better. I’ve learned not to worry about others’ opinions: I’ve been bald since my youth!

Morillas is good, Bvlgari is good, man, but ‘Extreme’? The only thing that’s not good is the longevity; I’d say it’s wasted money. How can you spend so much on something that’s skin-close in an hour, a distant memory in two, and gone by three? Why ‘Extreme’? Is it for people who do extreme sports? I don’t think so. Does it last long? No. Is it that different from the others? Not really. Sure, it’s a good perfume, nothing against that, but… for 10 minutes of pleasure.

Another pleasant surprise! I felt the initial freshness, though when testing it in the store surrounded by other things, I didn’t pay much attention to that phase. I have to say that, even though the most voted note is cactus, I’ve never smelled one (just in case I bring a lighter near it and get pricked, haha). What I liked most was the heart. I’ve never smelled freesia either, but I imagine they stand out here; the scent felt moderately floral and sweet, and it stayed this way for many hours. As it dries down, it picks up more woody tones, and that’s where I like it less. No note rubbed me the wrong way; it doesn’t smell bad or overly chemical, and it seemed very well assembled. The downside is that it seems to project little, yes, but its longevity defied my expectations and lasted me about 10 hours.

Magnificent woody, spicy, and citrusy perfume for daytime use. It creates a very pleasant and comfortable aura around the wearer. Its notable citrus opening is immediately followed by the star player: the brilliant cactus juice, which gives it a distinctive and surprising touch. The soft white flower, amber, benzoin, and the soft vetiver and cedar round out the aroma. It has an interesting development and is long-lasting, making itself felt in enclosed spaces like offices or classrooms. It has nothing to do with its woody predecessor. A good fragrance if you like citrus and are curious to know the scent of cactus juice.

Whenever I encounter a fragrance created by the nose of Alberto Morillas, I appreciate his immense talent for pulling off the unexpected… Bvlgari Man Extreme is no exception. The semi-classic, rugged citrus opening presents itself in an almost generic way, with sweet and green sparkles that last at least 10 minutes. Afterward, the atypical cactus juice note begins a long, evolving presence, disrupting the spirit of the resins that settle and emerge from the wood. The result is a rugged, citrusy aroma with sparkles of a sweet, woody vetiver that turns out to be friendly, masculine, modern, and almost formal. It’s not precisely a new or ‘extreme’ scent in its concentration; the cactus gives it a personality, or rather, a prominent and clean accent. Using it gives a sensation of extreme cleanliness. It has moderate performance across four seasons; it’s a fragrance that allows for overapplication, which I recommend, you just need to anticipate the timing for the event. Bvlgari Man Extreme is a possibility if you don’t have aromatic woody scents in your collection. At times, it evokes the vibrant beauty of Dior Higher. Bvlgari Man Extreme.

Hello, I started wearing it this week and it’s a total hit for everyday wear. I’m obsessed. Smells refined, fresh, and cheerful. On my skin, it lasts easily 6 hours, which is already a miracle since other perfumes fade on me instantly.

Until today, every Bulgari fragrance I’ve tried has had things in common: they’re elegant, pleasant, and very subtle. This one was no exception. I like its scent—it’s citrusy, aromatic, even relaxing, but quite subtle. I haven’t tried the Man version, but if this is the Extreme, I wonder how subtle the other one could be. Its development is almost linear, but for me, that’s a virtue. You can clearly detect the grapefruit, bergamot, cardamom, and a note that smells like tea (very common in Bulgari), though it’s not listed; maybe it’s cactus juice, but it adds personality. The woody notes and vetiver are also very soft, but blended pleasantly. I couldn’t smell the benzoin, amber, or freesia. It’s an intimate fragrance, perfect for enjoying alone or on a romantic date. I see it as appropriate for all year round. It lasts 6 to 7 hours, but very close to the skin.

It doesn’t last… it’s very soft. Even Boss is better.
