The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1991 by the esteemed French perfume house Houbigant, Duc de Vervins L'Extreme is a Leather fragrance that balances fresh and earthy notes with a rich, mossy base. The opening is bright and zesty, thanks to bergamot and lemon, which cut through the air like a crisp autumn breeze. As it settles, lavender and spicy notes introduce an aromatic warmth, leading into oakmoss and amber that ground the composition in a deep, leathery embrace.
Apply Duc de Vervins L'Extreme to pulse points for a balanced experience. The top notes are vibrant but fade within two hours, so give it time to develop its rich leather and mossy base. It’s best worn during cooler weather when the warmth of the amber and earthy notes can truly shine.
