If Gulf Orchid intended El Capitán Extreme to be a UWA clone, they've missed the mark entirely. Community opinion is brutal, calling it a weak imitation not even worth a sniff. Best to just skip this one.

About

El Capitán Extreme opens with a flash of zesty lemon and invigorating mint, quickly softened by the herbal, aromatic calm of lavender. As it settles, a warm spicy heart of cinnamon and clary sage emerges, lending a comforting warmth. The base anchors the fragrance with earthy patchouli and rich cedar, sweetened by a creamy vanilla and amber embrace.
