The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, Extreme 12.0 by Zara is a bold and dynamic Oriental Fougere fragrance for men. The composition opens with the zesty freshness of bergamot and grapefruit, balanced by the sharp mint and spicy cardamom notes that add an invigorating edge. As it evolves, the heart introduces nutmeg and cedar, grounding the aromatic top notes with a warm, woody undertone. Finally, the base layers in vanilla, amber, and musk for a rich, comforting finish. This fragrance is designed to create a dynamic contrast between fresh and spicy elements, making it both energizing and deeply satisfying.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal effect. The fresh top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow it time to settle before heading out. This fragrance performs best during cooler weather when the spicy and woody elements can truly shine.
