  By now, ‘extreme’ lacks meaning in perfumery, just like ‘intense’ or ‘absolute’. It’s a blurred, watery fragrance that loses the grace of the original, like a nonsensical Narciso Bleu ‘fresh’ whose musk is blurred with cedar. Decent performance but nothing ‘extreme’; I’ll stick with the EDP, which is more punchy and has a clear concept. I don’t know what this one is.

  I loved the opening. I own the Bleu Noir EDT and the DNA is always present. The Extreme is sweeter and fresher; the ice note gives a sense of dilution but lots of brightness and freshness. Buying both is redundant, but they serve different moments: the EDT for formal and elegant occasions, the Extreme for casual wear. I can’t yet judge longevity and projection as I’m just starting to wear it.

  I’ve been searching for a luxury substitute for my old Capri 19-69, something fresh for the heat. I’ve tried niche and designer, avoiding the most overused; I’m a bit put off by niche due to prices and undeclared synthetics. After sampling over 50 perfumes, three finalists emerged: one with brutal yuzu and iodine notes, another a clone with musk and little hype, and finally this Extreme by Narciso Rodriguez. For me, the best designer aquatic citrus in six years. Fresh opening with mandarin as the star, featuring a synthetic component that gives a glacial sensation without being unpleasant. The dry-down is magnificent: wood wrapped in musk, addictive and classy, lasting longer than expected for an EDT. A masculine proposal that skirts the edge of convention, breaking the mould.

  An interesting fragrance: starts with dry, dusty orange peel and ripe mandarin, accented by basil for an electric, icy freshness. Clean, silky musk takes over gradually, closing with sweet, present woods. It’s an elegant, spicy, cool, and rounded Blue, though the citrus notes steer it away from marine vibes towards a more woody and aromatic profile.

  I’d never tried a Narciso Rodríguez before as it’s practically a rarity in most perfumeries in my city, and thanks to getting a decant a few days ago, this first contact was very satisfying. I can’t distinguish the ice note, but the others are easily perceptible, especially the citrus, the musk, and the deep, masculine wood. I think it’s a very elegant perfume: like a bespoke white shirt made from the finest cotton. What I’d have liked is for it to offer a bit more longevity; it’s not bad but just about there: around 5-6 hours with a moderate trail for an hour or so, then quite close to the skin. I agree it reminded me a bit of Dior Homme Eau, but that similarity is brief and I assume it’s due to the citrus and the velvety feel of the musk. Scent: 9 Longevity: 6 Sillage: 6 Versatility: 9 Value: 8

  I’ve never tried Narciso Rodriguez, a rarity in my city, but thanks to a decant, the experience was satisfying. I don’t detect the ice note, but rather citrus, musk, and deep, masculine wood. It’s elegant, like a made-to-measure white cotton shirt. I’d like more longevity; it’s just right: 5-6 hours with a moderate trail for an hour and a half, then close to the skin. It reminded me of Dior Homme Eau, but it’s brief. Scent: 9, Longevity: 6, Sillage: 6, Versatility: 9, Value for money: 8.

  This fragrance is a bit strange. I bought it blind, but I’m not regretting it. The opening has a sour sweat sensation. It’s very uncomfortable. Afterwards, that sweaty smell starts to fade a bit and it turns into a darker, creamier citrus. Well, we’ll have to try it more. These are just first impressions.

  The scent isn’t my style, but I must admit it’s quite pleasant and you can tell it’s high quality. I’d love to smell it on someone else, but wearing it myself makes me feel a bit sick. It’s a musk with additives, but the musk dominates from start to finish. Good longevity, moderate projection. A slightly metrosexual aroma, could be unisex too.

  A musk bomb with citrus in the style of Bleu de Chanel, but with its own personality. It’s a variant of the blue fragrances; the mother scent is so distinct they didn’t want to be left out. Pungent with a herbal touch at the start, it becomes woody and musky upon drying, that sexy and dirty but pleasant smell. Very musky, floating between woody trails. Pleasant and performed well on my skin. I like it, though I’m not sure if I’ll buy it. To finish, the ice note seems ridiculous to me.

  A bomb of musk, with citrus akin to Bleu de Chanel to provide an olfactive reference but with its own focus and personality. It’s a variant of the hundreds of blue fragrances being launched; the mother fragrance is so distinct from everything else that they didn’t want to be left out of the competition. To better understand the aroma… it’s sharp with a minimal herbal touch in the opening, then dries down to become woody and musky, that typical sexy, dirty but not unpleasant smell for me. Note that it is very, very musky, with that note floating above the woody hints. I think it’s a quite pleasant aroma; on my skin, it was luxurious and performed well. I like this perfume, though I’m not sure if I’d buy it. To finish, I honestly think the ice note is ridiculous.

  I’m fascinated by the Bleu Noir DNA. This flanker resembles the EDP a lot, but without the intense woody base. Unfortunately, in my experience, it lasts a mere breath, so I won’t be buying it.

  This is a truly exquisite perfume for summer. It’s easygoing but smells high-quality, balanced, and has decent longevity. It lasts around 5 to 6 hours, which isn’t bad for a fresh scent.

  Exquisite for summer. Easy, smells quality, balanced, and has good longevity. It hovers around 5 to 6 hours, which isn’t bad at all for a fresh scent.

  I bought it on a TikToker’s recommendation, mmm… I wouldn’t buy it again due to its longevity and because I think it’s discontinued. The opening is delicious, with the fruits taking centre stage. It reminds me of the smell of dried fruit. The downside: it doesn’t last more than two hours and the trail is low, almost skin-scent. And the ‘ice’ note goes unnoticed. It’s for personal pleasure, a shower before bed, and about 50 sprays so you or your partner can smell it… and sleep fresh and clean.

  NR has added a bit of synthetic freshness and citrus to the cement-musky scent for spring/summer. Longevity is just about there. If you like the musky aromatic DNA of the Blue Noir line or are a fragrance fanatic or collector, go for it. The rest can do without. There are plenty of similar ones out there, and they’re much cheaper.

  Smells like a musky women’s hair lacquer.

  Fresh yet with its own elegant and distinctive touch; for me, the best of the Bleu Noir family. It doesn’t project much, but I don’t want something so invasive for a hot day. It keeps the essence of the EDT, with that sweet woody dry-down, but more subtle and just right, which I find positive. In the EDT, it feels too cloying and heavy, with that makeup or doll-like vibe reminiscent of the iris in Dior Homme Intense, but I suspect that’s more due to the cedar and vetiver combo.
