Lavender Extreme

테이스트 헤븐이랑 비슷하네요 좋습니다

A abertura tem um cheiro bem forte que me lembra coca cola, a secagem tem um cheiro muito bom, pra mim não chegou no cheiro perfeito mas faltou bem pouco, infelizmente projeta e fixa pouco.

i really like this, so elegant and pleasant. not really worth the price but it's good quality and smells good, can't go wrong

A curious fragrance, and likely not going to be what anyone expects from the name. The top notes of violet and lemon open with a mighty bang, and that's where the trouble begins. For an opening it is certainly compelling, but it's also quite synthetic and chemically - a characteristic that unfortunately carries through the rest of the life of the perfume. Once the violet and lemon calm down, which happens quite quickly, lavender, cinnamon, geranium, and rose take over. I get a bit of all of them but that's also part of another problem: you cannot truly say this is a lavender scent. The rose and cinnamon do nearly all of the heavy lifting, and to round-out the sharper herbaceous qualities of lavender to the point where you're not quite sure if this is supposed to be a lavender-forward perfume at all. The middle is more of a warm, spiced floral scent, rather than an "extreme" lavender scent. The base notes of tonka and coumarin only add to the detraction. And, through it all, that strong synthetic tinge never quite goes away. Not that synthetics are bad; many are very good, and even the more overtly-synthetic-smelling materials can be used in clever ways to add a sort of otherworldly or inflexible facet to a fragrance. But these materials just don't mesh with the misdirection this fragrance went with its warming and soothing spiced floral nature. It is by no means bad, it's decent, but it misses too many marks and failed visionary executions to really be memorable and noteworthy.

This is a really fun and playful lavender fragrance. It is super sweet and iv had people say I smell like coconut with this on. The thing is I have trouble wearing it, it’s expensive and now discontinued so I want to save it for formal events but it doesn’t smell formal at all and is a very casual scent.

You're all gonna come for me cuz I'm going to sound so BASIC compared to my usually (somewhat) more expressive and eloquent self haha..... I felt COMPELLED to come write a review of this because... I'm really confused... You see... I was gifted one of those HUGE decanter bottles of this from a very very good friend... When I saw this GORGEOUS metallic silver box I knew it was Tom Ford but really had no clue which fragrance came in this unusually-colored packaging... And THEN... i saw it: L - A - V - E - N.... Ohhhh nooooo!!! I thought... One of the ONLY notes I HATE... Ok I'm going to give this a try since there's ONE perfume I own and LOVE despite having some noticeable lavender in the top (Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Précieux).... So I decanted into a gorgeous spray and gave myself a liberal dousing and .... oh...! Wow that's definitely a lavender blast.... Ok ok haha I'll live... "It's the thought that counts right?".... But then.... IRIS....? am I crazy? This sure is getting POWDERY.... yeah there's coumarin / tonka .. probably vanilla too, but there's IRIS ... The lavender faded fairly quickly (probably to the dismay of millions) and I couldn't have been happier... It rather quickly transformed into a powdery orris / tonka / almond / cinnamon... Even a BIT lactonic (only a tiny bit).... I'm now wearing it today having attended a big celebration banquet luncheon and today was perhaps my FOURTH full wearing and I absolutely LOVE this perfume... Do I like lavender now? Honestly I'm keeping an open mind but I actually DON'T THINK I do... I think there's a very strong / striking realistic lavender in this but it SEEMS to morph into something less lavender and more powdery where it lasts FOREVER... impressive longevity... 9/10 and I'm still confused.

mr lavender thanks TF

I come came here after wearing Lavender Extreme for a few hours, but before reading anything about it. I figured it would be a great fresh fougere for the hot and humid Florida summers. At first -- perfection. It's a bright and realistic lavender. Within minutes, I recognized the scent that developed, but couldn't put my finger on it. It was very familiar to me. About 30 minutes in, it hit me: Play-Doh. I'm so glad others had the same experience. Play-Doh doesn't scream 'Tom Ford' or luxury fragrance. To me, it doesn't warrant the pricetag. For a lavender fougere, I'll stick with TF Beau du Jour, which has some complexity to it.

This is perfection. An aromatic and beautiful lavender, yet sweet vanilla and cozy. I will definitely enjoy my 9ml of this. I would make this my signature if only it was not discontinued. It breaks my heart a little bit!

Spraying this feels like you're being swallowed in a literal cloud of lavender and vanilla. Shortly after, the vanilla dominates and you're left with a slightly sweet, buttercream vanilla for the duration of the fragrance. Yes, it does remind me of Play-Doh. Luckily for Tom Ford, I enjoy that scent. To be brutally honest, I'm not surprised this was discontinued. Its very linear and I would prefer to have more lavender in a fragrance called Lavender Extreme. To me, this is more like Tonka Extreme. I find the lavender in Beau de Jour to be far more prominent and satisfying, not to mention that its simply a more complex and interesting fragrance, albeit masculine. This is firmly unisex and the lavender isn't as bracing and sharp as in BdJ. This is an absolute joy to wear, but I can understand how most wouldn't want to pay Private Blend prices for a very linear lavender/vanilla scent.

Absolute best Lavender fragrance ever made. Bitter , calming Lavender with smooth, creamy tonka. So smooth , well blended and high quality. I don t know why they discountinued it. If you can get your hands on it please do. You won t be dissappointed.

I just got a bottle of this …. to me, this is utterly heavenly. Sweet, soft, billowy, cotton candy lavender, lemon and rose. The tonka and coumarin are heavy and rich. This smells so decadent to me. I rate this a 10/10 and a Fragrantica score of 4.8. Not that anyone cares, but that is the highest score I have ever given a fragrance.

I agree, this is definitely one of the best lavender perfumes, and I am repurchasing it! It's gorgeous, smooth, beautiful. The lavender is blended so well! It's smooth and intense. Longevity is also impressive!

Inspired by Caron Pour un Homme. This is the best lavender perfume ever made. I smelled it once in a Tom Ford booth. I was blown away. The bottle is epic design wise. I didn't pull the trigger because of the price. Now it's discontinued. What can I say more.

I'm devastated that this is discontinued. I discovered it exactly the time Tom Ford stopped producing it and the price of a bottle shot up like crazy! This really smells like lavender. Other lavender scents either are too light on lavender or too sharp. This one is amazing, the vanilla rounds out the lavender perfectly, you almost don't even notice it. And the scent doesn't change much from first spray to end of the night. If this ever comes back in stock, or if I ever find a bottle that's not double the price, I'll definitely snag it!

I feel so lucky: I was able to land a 45 mil tester for 15 euros! I’ve always loved lavender scents in fragrance of any kind, so this one definitely appealed to me, but by the time I heard about it (or by the time I started collecting at all) it was already discontinued. I never expected that I would be able to get my hands on this, but I’m very happy with it. Knowing that 45 mil is all I’m going to get of this in my lifetime, I’m going to cherish this precious liquid, because I really love it! Aromatic scents like these I’m often in the mood for, for sure. It’s not a signature for me, but very comforting for sure. Lavender is obviously the star of the show. It’s very herbal, a tad floral, and it’s comforting and stimulating all at once. Perfectly unisex, very clear smelling, and lasting power is incredible. To me it’s ridiculous they discontinued this.

It offers a bold and fresh take on lavender, beautifully blended with warm spices and woods. Its longevity is impressive, making it a standout for evening wear. However, some may find its intensity a bit overwhelming for casual use.

Rene.Saller below said this perfectly. It is a nice fragrance, but you could replicate this with some inexpensive lavender essential oil and some tonka, for less the 1/10th the price. Also, this reminds me of Avon's Skin So Soft, which makes sense because that uses heavy doses of lavender, but I can't shake the association with the insect repellent use of that stuff. I love lavender, and it goes beautifully with vanilla, but this just seems very simplistic for a Tom Ford creation. Caron Pour Un Homme can be had for around $65 and actually smells better and more complex than this.

beautiful and comforting, makes me feel kind of dizzy but in a good way, very relaxing. it’s unisex but leans pretty masculine imo, very realistic lavender scent. definitely worth tracking down despite how expensive it is now.

It’s a fantastic dumb reach if it weren’t discontinued!!! My scent of the day today!! This fragrance showed me that Lavander isn’t just a bathroom cleaner & that with good quality lavender along with additions of chocolate & vanilla nuances, Lavender can be the complete bomb & even since recently purchasing Lavande & Purple Hat & even Reflection 45! I personally think this is best..Again problem is I just got a new 50ml bottle of this & being it’s been discontinued for some time now I’m hating to say that this may be the only little bottle I’ll ever have.

This fragrance is a nice dumb reach for any person. But the thing that I’ll say is that the vanilla is pretty overpowering to my nose. The opening is also pretty sharp with a blast of sweetness and sharp lavender. 3 sprays is all you need of this trust me. When it dries down a bit the sillage starts to come out and that’s when this fragrance can start winning for you. This is a spring clean type of fragrance, meant for someone who is dressing down for the day and running errands or something. It’s a crowd pleaser if I had to categorize it, but I think the vanilla absolutely dominates the lavender.

I wanted this to be like Caron Pour Une Homme, as my decant of that is failing and I was able to swap for a good size decant of this. It is similar, but not in the ways I want. TF has more metallic notes in the onset, but it is similar to the Caron in that they both have the smell of real lavender plant. Caron's has a ranker, more rooty planty lavender in place of the metallic notes, but it is but it lacks the delicious vanilla dry down I love in the Caron. For onset, TF is better, for dry down, it can't replace PuH for me.

Discontinued. However in my opinion Penhaligons Brilliantly British EDP is almost identical.

Lavender Dragees- that’s what I would have named this. Beautifully pastel. It smells like candy coated almonds and lavender. Pressed powder creaminess. I don’t pick up Violet or rose but I’ve only worn this twice. It’s beautiful and now I have to save up for a full bottle once my 15ml lab sample runs out.

Warm, spicy, uplifting. Rich, green hay. Both skin + fabric results in root beer/cream soda & choc cake. I'm normally opposed to gourmand, but this is deep and not cheesy or saccharine. Strength of tonka bean dominates dry down…choc milk that's not sweet. Nuanced and fun to explore with faint vetiver complexity. Dangerously cozy and appealing. Never got any lavender. Want to try a stronger version, if avail. 1ST TRY: Dominant thick woody warmth expertly balanced by dry top note. Trying to find floral, but only get mild vetiver. Cozy and sexy, with complicated spices/cinnamon. Instead of dense vanilla - rich tonka bean/choc milk. Impressively comforting vibes that use dryness to be tasteful and not generic. What lavender there is, lends the perfect amount of dryness to body, not aroma. One of the most impressive takes on a “cozy night in” that’s easy to like. Personally, too safe for full bottle.

I have 50 ml unopened sealed bottle for sale. Pm me if you are interested. Batch 2018.

If you're hankering for this but can't afford to buy a bottle, Oil Perfumery makes a fairly accurate dupe that might suit your needs. Personally, I think this fragrance is quite beautiful, but I wouldn't pay $200 or more for what is essentially a very upscale version of a lavender essential oil over a pretty vanilla-coumarin base. The other floral notes are beautiful, and I do love the elegant Tom Ford chess-piece bottles (fingers crossed that Maison Alhambra will do one of their hilariously brazen knockoffs so I can display it next to "Lovely Cherie"), but I simply cannot countenance Tom Ford prices. If I had a few spare Benjamins to spend on a single bottle of fragrance, I would go Guerlain or Chanel, no question. MAYBE Frederic Malle. But I find most of the Tom Ford scents to be overrated--this one might be my favorite so far insofar as there is no weird, off-putting, in-your-face niche note to ruin everything, just a clean, relaxing, spa-like lavender note with a soft but insistent coumarin note.

I hate cinnamon. This would be perfect without cinnamon. I'm looking for lavender-tonka-vanilla combinations such as Pour un homme - Caron, Prada Luna Rossa Sport and Killian a Taste from Heaven.

Okay here it is…I’ve never even paid attention to this when it was out Al all!! I was one of those with a super crazy price with the chrome presentation chrome metal plac on front & what not.. It may have been 2020 during Covid not sure all the reasons why it got axed. Nevertheless I thought nothing of lavender except for a bathroom cleaner…But wait..Actual lavender oil mixed with whatever Tom Ford does with a private blend?? OMG mannnn I was wanting something completely different in my collection nearing the end of 2023 and recieved a sample of Molinard Lavande & knew I loved the drydown of that $60 fragrance, The perfume guy on YouTube was holding them both saying how they where similar…So I started reading all of these reviews and blind bought it full presentation & all from a seller who had a few and wow oh wow!!! Lavender with I don’t know? White Chocolate? Whipped airy coconut? I’m no professional But I sure am enjoying trying to figure it out…I will purchase Lavande edp so I can wear this scent profile more often & be my dumb reach because with 50% off the original price of this one is still high but worth getting before it’s once & for all gone for good…

If anyone is willing to trade, please let me know. Been searching for this one, pretty hard to find.
