About This Perfume
Think Warm amber spice with violet leaf snap: that is Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Black Extreme. It opens with violet leaf, black pepper and lemon, moves into orange blossom and saffron and settles on tonka bean and labdanum. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $42.

Notes behind the picks
Ted Lapidus Fantasme (1992) smells of berry, peach sorbet with rosy powder, with peach and pineapple up top and vanilla, musk and cedar underneath.
