Desire Extreme

Alfred Dunhill Desire Extreme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Desire Extreme opens with Blood Orange, Saffron, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Clary Sage and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Amber. Alfred Dunhill's Desire Extreme carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it swerves the crowd-pleasers with its bold, dark character, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something unique and masculine, it could be a winner.

Its moderate projection and longevity mean it won't overpower an office, but the darker, more intense leather and spicy accords are better suited for evening and casual wear. The polarizing nature also suggests it's not universally office-safe.

About

Desire Extreme kicks off with a sharp, sweet burst of blood orange and bergamot, spiced up by a noticeable saffron kick. It quickly transitions, stripping away the initial fruitiness to reveal a robust leather heart, intertwined with aromatic cypress and earthy clary sage. The drydown gets darker and deeper, with vetiver and patchouli offering a woody, amber-tinged finish that feels both modern and a bit rugged.
