Perfume Parlour Inviting Extreme For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Inviting Extreme For Men opens with Grapefruit and Mint, settles into a heart of Sesame and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Hazelnut. Perfume Parlour's Inviting Extreme For Men carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Inviting Extreme builds on the Very Irresistible for Men blueprint - mint and grapefruit opening into that famous coffee-sesame mocha heart over nutty hazelnut and cedar. The cosy chocolatey-coffee signature lands well; as a budget take it runs sweeter and a touch flatter than the smooth, discontinued original.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A coffee-and-hazelnut gourmand that thrives in cold weather and turns cloying under summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Cosy and intimate for casual and date wear; its sweet edible profile is too informal for formal occasions.

About

Inviting Extreme opens fresh and cool, mint over a squeeze of grapefruit, before diving into its defining accord: coffee and sesame blending into a warm, chocolatey mocha. Hazelnut deepens the gourmand heart while Virginia cedar adds a dry, nutty-woody spine that stops it tipping into pure dessert. As a budget echo of Givenchy's discontinued men's gourmand it nails that distinctive moreish coffee-mocha comfort - the same snuggly, edible character that made the original a quiet cult favourite. The divergence is polish: the dupe leans a little sweeter and reads slightly more synthetic, missing the seamless blend of the original, and projection sits close to the skin with moderate 5-6 hour longevity. A warm, comforting cold-weather coffee gourmand at a fraction of the hard-to-find original's price.
