Paul Smith Extreme for Man Eau de Toilette

I love blind-buying perfumes based on the pyramid and reviews. It's like a game. Usually, I like everything, but this fragrance is an exception. Unfortunately, it's just not good. It has an interesting pyramid structure, but it lacks something special. It smells like shaving foam.

I purchased this without testing it, intending to use it during warm weather. I was drawn to the description of the initial notes, including lemon and bergamot, as a fresh and spicy scent, with musk as the finishing touch. However, in reality, there is no freshness to it, as it is dominated by sweet and cloying notes, with even a hint of incense, but without the musk. This is more suitable for those who enjoy warm, cozy, and sweet perfumes. Personally, I find it too suffocating.

Adding to the review.
We opened the bottle of the gifted perfume and were shocked - there was absolutely nothing familiar about it, not even a hint. In fact, we could only smell alcohol! We were extremely disappointed! I called and spoke to the operator Elena, who did not give me any optimism, giving me standard phrases about guarantees of authenticity, etc. But when she suggested that I may have mistaken the scents, comparing it to something else, my outrage knew no bounds! Only my extreme busyness prevented me from writing to the complaints department with photos of this bottle and the previous, larger one that I bought here, without a doubt an original.
At the end of the day, I returned to the perfume and - oh, miracle! - I could smell the familiar scent from a distance! I don't know what happened - maybe it needed to settle, breathe, warm up, or something else - but I take back all my complaints, apologize to the website and personally to Elena.
The fragrance is authentic! It is fantastic, sparkling, warm, enveloping, enticing, and teasing - magnificent, in a word!
Thank you, Makeup, I will remain your customer!

Thank you for bringing back this perfume on the website. The scent is amazing. Thank you.

The perfume is good, the main thing is that my husband liked it. But there are two things that bother me: 1. The scent doesn't unfold strongly, the first notes are too strong (if not to say crude), 2. The special code is missing on the cardboard box. Although this fragrance doesn't look like a fake - everything is as it should be - the bottle, the quality of the box, the authenticity of the barcode. Overall, I will continue to order - I think it's still the original.
