The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999 by Bvlgari and crafted by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Extreme is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that stands out for its dynamic blend of fresh and spicy elements. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of grapefruit, bergamot, and neroli, creating an invigorating top note. As it evolves, the heart notes of lavender, coriander, and galbanum add complexity and depth, while the base notes of guaiac wood, musk, cedar, and sandalwood provide a warm and lasting finish.
One spray is sufficient for daytime wear, as the vibrant top notes are strong but short-lived. The warm base notes come through after about an hour, making it perfect for evening events or layered under a jacket.
