One side of the box says "Eau Extreme" and the other side says "Extreme Fragrance".

The black edges of the glass signify it being the edp. Clear glass it's the edt.

Is this readily available?
I ask - as I thought it was impossible to find, but have seen it many places online.

Is it the same as I got from TPC...http://theperfumedcourt.com/products...1-c9113fc01121

Excellent. This scent is excellent; it's great too, because it is one that doesn't take time to "get." I liked it straight away. Unlike the Aresene Lupin scents which I love now, but it took me some time to get them.

It's a good one. I remember getting very lucky and snagging this for $35 over a year ago. It's a different scent to a degree from the EDT, which is more of a green/woody anise scent with a semi-oriental gourmand. The EDP is very sweet and high calorie-- sometimes I sniff the cap and feel like I've eaten a candy bar. It's got a cocoa note, but my favorite part is the rooty sasparilla/root beer accord in the top notes, which gives a fizz that percolates through the sweetness.

Though it's very dark and dense, I go with one spray to the chest and it stays very close to the skin and well behaved. Playful all the way. It's like Guerlain tried to mug Mugler.

Indie speaks the truth. Spray this one lightly and it works best.

While you're at it, sample Cologne du 68. IMO it wears like a L' Instant Pour Homme flanker, even though it's not.

You're right about this, I couldn't put my finger on Cologne du 68, but it does smell like a L'Instant Pour Homme flanker-- maybe with a lavender character. It's high on my list.

I find that it has less of that strong cocoa in the Extreme and more of a praline/gourmand tartness to it.

I've been searching for this version for quit sometime. Is strawberrynet even trustworthy? I tracked their ip and it seems that they are based in Hong Kong of all places. It seems kinda risky since that part of the world is known for knockoffs of just about everything.

though i've never used strawberrynet i've heard excellent reviews from them. I had mine hooked up by another member for 70$ shipping/tax included. Up close i do not think it smells like cocoa, but when i smell around me man i smell like dark chocolate. Its amazing, that bitter cocoa to it, with hints of floral near the mid. It last a long time and is remarkable trust me on that

Yea, that's why I've been dying to get myself a bottle lol. Thanks for your 2 cents though, makes me drool from all the research I've been doing on it. I just might take the risk.

Buy a bottle and mail me a sample (it's like $1.35 by first class ground). I have stuff that I'm sure it authentic, or so good that it would be worth the money if it was fake. I'll tell you if you have a fake. Just PM me when you get it.
