I bought Extreme as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend's sister-in-law, someone I only vaguely know. I was looking for something fresh, unobtrusive but still floral and feminine enough for her to like it.
The bottle
The reason I found this perfume in the shops is because of its packaging. The mainly yellow-orange-red wavy lines throughout the front and the two sides of the box catch the eye immediately. The clear bottle is simply cut, squared with Paul Smith Extreme written at the bottom left corner of in the unmistakable signature logo. The cool waves appear again on the left hand side of the bottle - why not at the back I do not know - it gives the bottle a 'psychedelic' effect when you look at it through the liquid. The bottle has a screw-on lid, which is a great plus, not seen very often nowadays!
The fragrance
The composition of the eau de parfum is light yet long-lasting. It has a fresh top which is quite strong and spicy, probably that is why it is called extreme: it has a rich, peppery feel to it without it being masculine - I find it a nice achievement.
The spicy freshness soon subdues into a floral middle, this is where I like this fragrance most: it is still fresh but becomes flowery and powdery sweet, thanks to the feminine heliotrope. Heliotrope is a flowery plant originally from Peru and was brought to Europe in the eighteenth century. It has a wonderful, vanilla-like scent and is a popular garden plant in England.
This floral middle phase lasts for about an hour after that it settles into a fresh and woody base where the floral sweetness is taken over by the sensual amber and musk.
The overall impression is a mixture of orange peel, freshly cut grass mingled with wild flowers and fresh cedar.
Excellent choice when you just want to feel fresh and feminine, not overbearing but still wearing an original not one-of-a-dozen type of perfume.
This fragrance will appeal to all age groups as it is quite neutral, everyday, fresh and clean.
A matching Extreme for Men version is a perfect choice when buying for a couple. The two scents complement each other and present a nice duo package.

...that I like to use. Paul Smith Extreme for Women is a classic scent. It's very feminine but it's a scent that may be worn at work, as well. Paul Smith Extreme for Women never fails to remind me why it's always a good decision to buy a luxury brand. This perfume is a light scent that is also powdery. Whenever I wear this scent it always gives my personality an instant boost, in the sense that my friends give me more hugs when they smell this perfume ... ...on the laws of attraction.
It also comes in a very nice bottle. You twist the cap to open and close it. You don't have to worry about accidentally spraying your scent on your things while the perfume bottle is in your work bag or purse. A good choice made when you decide to buy it. ...

Advantages: Crisp, cool and refreshing scent Disadvantages: Price
I first discovered Paul Smith Extreme when it was recommended to me by the woman working at the fragrance counter, i was looking for a light refreshing scent for everyday use which wasn't obtrusive.
I purchased a 100ml EDT (Eau De Toilette) for around £45, i considered this a little on the expensive side at the time of purchase, but now taking into account it has lasted me about 12 months using it everyday (usually more than once) and that this ... ...i consider the price of really good value.
I was pleased to discover that this scent has quite good staying power and lasts for approximately 6 to 8 hours, which isn't bad for a light fragrance.
I would describe this fragrance as an everyday one as it's subtle and not obtrusive, it doesn't grow tiring and keeps you feeling fresh. ...

Advantages: Smells great and is a noticable fragrance! different! Disadvantages: Doesn't last very long on my skin
PaulSmithExtreme. When i first smelt this product i thought it was horrible because of the sudden spicy smell that hits you. It was given to me as a present so i couldn't not buy it and i decided to try itt out for a day. I wore it and after it drys and the smell begins to mature i really really liked the smell of it! I love the way it is quite noticable but also it is subtle, in a way that it is noticable but in a nice way, not a sting the nostrils, look at me way. I have had many complments on this fragrance and i even bought it for my brother for his birthday because he liked it so much as well. i found that it doesn't stay on your skin for very long though although it may just be my type of skin. ...
Advantages: Smells Lovely Disadvantages: More For General Wear Than Special Occasions
With Christmas just around the corner I am predicting that there is about to be a flurry of Aftershave reviews on Ciao so I have decided to get in first with this review of PaulSmith's Extreme Aftershave Spray for Men.
PaulSmith has made his name in Britain as a successful Fashion Designer, opening his first Shop in Nottingham in 1970. In recent years he has expanded his portfolio with a full range of Perfumes for both Men and Women. This review is about one of these Products called PaulSmith's Extreme Aftershave Spray for Men.
Unlike many similar products this particular fragrance really is a true Aftershave since technically speaking many similar products that are colloquially referred to as Aftershaves are not actually Aftershaves at all, but instead they fall into the group of Perfumes called Eau de Toilette's, or Eau de ...
Advantages: Very original, and long lasting. Disadvantages: Costs a lot of money (probably because of its brand)
PaulSmithExtreme for men is one of the best smelling aftershaves I have owned. I am now buying it in 100ml bottles as I get so many people commenting on how nice it is.
My personal opinion is somewhat the same. It is original and it isn't an aftershave you would get fed up of too soon but it is let down by its price.
Among most things of today, you will pay for a brand. Whether it be clothes, aftershaves or even cars, you probably could find something very similar for a fraction of the cost.
Unfortunately, this is one of those products where I just have to ignore how much its costs because as I mentioned before, It is one of the best aftershaves I have come across since Cool Water by davidoff was first released. ...
