Baldessarini Ultimate is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Geza Schoen. Ultimate opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Magnolia, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Baldessarini's Ultimate carries a Statement verdict, an amber-led wear.

A truly polarising scent, Ultimate is either a niche-quality gem and a 'cheapie' triumph or a medicinal flop with shocking performance. What's not debatable is the uncompromisingly masculine, bitter-spicy character - so if you like your fragrances dry and serious, it's worth trying for yourself.

While some find performance weak, the spicy-leather core leans towards evening and cooler weather. Its mature, masculine vibe suits formal settings and dates, but its strong character might be too assertive for casual or office wear.

About

Ultimate blasts off with a sharp, peppery rush of pink pepper and citrus, then rapidly settles into an amber-heavy heart featuring magnolia and freesia, before landing on a base of warm leather, earthy patchouli, and smoky frankincense. Expect a dry, spicy aroma with an overarching amber warmth.
