Today I wore Tom Ford Extreme to work. I'm not here to regale you with stories of compliments, etc but I must say on a cooler morning that was gray outside I enjoyed the sweet, leathery, boozy, ambery type of scent that this turned into. I'm not a sweet or a leather fan per se but the dry down on this was classy, sophisticated and masculine. It also hung on my clothing and skin throughout the day. I saw some older threads that had been archived so I started anew. This is as good as some in his private line. I'm not sure if its an every day scent as much as a special night scent but its a very sophisticated and under rated scent to me. Just wanted to throw out something long pushed down the pages.

One of my favourites for cooler weather, I get no sweetness from it though.

Agreed, underrated scent... it definitely has an autumnal vibe to it, and I will be wearing it in the autumn. I prefer it to a lot of his private line... it's classy and mysterious at the same time, don't know how it pulls that off...

Sampled this one countless times hoping to finally "get it", unfortunately I've always come up short. I've never been able to get past the almost plastic esque beef jerky meat seasoning note.

I own a bottle,

for my nose it is a replica od some in the private blend.

I bought it when I was on a Tom Ford spree,

But it does not seem to appeal to me anymore, may be it is time to re-discover it

One of the better Tom Ford releases. It could easily be in the Private Blend line. Love it.

You're right, I better not. Extreme is not cheap, but if they moved it to Private Blend line it would be three times more expensive. Which makes the current price practically cheap, LOL! But let's keep this a secret.

I love this scent as well as to my nose it's like the classic old school gentleman's fragrance brought up to date with it's leather, tobacco boozy nature.

I just get small amounts of sweetness in scents I find boozy. Always have. May just be my nose.
