Houbigant Duc de Vervins L'Extreme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1991. Duc de Vervins L'Extreme opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber and Oakmoss. Houbigant's Duc de Vervins L'Extreme carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Duc de Vervins L'Extreme is the high-quality, long-lasting barbershop fougère of your dreams. Forget modern Drakkar Noir, this is the refined, mossy, citrus-forward throwback you've been searching for.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for various settings, though it leans more formal. The classic, clean profile, often compared to barbershop scents, makes it versatile for day and evening wear, but its bold character means it's less suited for active sports.

About

Duc de Vervins L'Extreme opens with a zesty, bright burst of bergamot and lemon, underscored by the subtle sweetness of orange blossom. As it settles, a clean, aromatic lavender emerges, intertwined with a dash of warm, inviting spices. The drydown is a sophisticated, deeply masculine embrace of earthy oakmoss and a touch of amber, conjuring images of classic barbershops and timeless elegance.
