Hmm on one hand digits in a virtual account, on the other hand a olfactory experience not to be missed. For me that's not a hard decision.

This frag is in my top three and I love the stuff so yes. I am at some point going to buy a back up bottle as this is one fragrance I never want to be without ever. It's a real manly frag and one for those who belong to the manly man club.lol

Not sure I gather what you're trying to say..
post #7 of 40
IMO No.
post #8 of 40
In my humble opinion, no. I wasn't impressed with it and very nearly made the mistake of blind buying it.
post #9 of 40
Absolutely. Class in a bottle.
post #10 of 40
It smells very unpleasant to my nose.
post #11 of 40
YES...but keep in mind, I am Mr. Stinky.
post #12 of 40
Nice smell for the few minutes that it lasts...NO.
post #13 of 40
Have you sampled it?

I think it's worth it if that's the kind of smell you're going for. It's a little too suave for my tastes, so I would never get a bottle. But it's definitely a quality scent with a purpose and unique character.

Love the smell...HATE the price!

If somehow, some way....Tom Ford decided he was going to double the bottle size from 1.7 oz. to 3.4 oz and keep it at the same price, it would be in my collection immediately. But as is....sorry, as much as I like the fragrance, I simply can't justify spending that kind of $$$ on it.

I didn't care for it when I tried it, but my advice would be to look very hard for it. You're bound to get it cheaper than that!!

You can pick this up much cheaper on eBay.

I am a big fan of TF Extreme. Not a big fan of its price but still don't ever want to not have it in my collection. I wear it a lot in the cooler months here.
post #20 of 40
I think it is...
post #21 of 40
I don't like it one bit. Sensory overload.
post #22 of 40
It's an excellent fragrance. It's worth it for me. But it's very much a special occassion fragrance so I don't use it very often.

That's odd. It lasts for ever on me... and apparently Porsches.

My younger brother just moved to NYC and decided he didn't nee a car anymore. So he shipped it out to me in San Diego so I could clean it up for him and sell it. After I finished detailing it, I sprayed 3 sprays of it in his car... 4 days later still smells dark, leathery, manly, elegant, mature, sophisticated, mysterious, smoky, woody, leathery, and... pricey.

If you like the smell of that fragrance price shouldn`t be a matter, there are much fragrances, which are overprized in my eyes (same counts for one of my favorites Black Orchid), but don`t care if you think "It`s your fragrance"

Personally I think it`s definitly isn`t worth the price, because it doesn`t hold really long on my skin, maybe it would hold longer on yours... And I would never pay so much for an Edt. But check out ebay and look for serious offers.

To me, it is.

It wasn't for me, but to many it is.
post #29 of 40
I get kinda poor longevity out of it as well, but I dig it enough that I might be able to look past that and just re-up with a pocket atomizer when needed. As far as I'm concerned it's mis-priced so I'll be looking for a more appropriate price point for as long as it takes to find one.
post #30 of 40
Not really.
post #31 of 40
£80 for a 50ML is quite pricey for TF Extreme. I see it selling for around $100 online. Shop around
post #32 of 40
I thought I would like this (based on the notes) but whenever I smell it I get a medicated/Band-Aid smell.

This was one scent I did a big turnaround on - disliked strongly at first, but came to like later on.

Re the price; I'm guessing that you're UK based by your use of sterling. You could always wait for Debenhams/H.o.F. etc to do one of their 10% days. They're fairly regular. Would bring the price down to a slightly more reasonable £72.

This is a problem for me: I don't have paypal!
And even if I did, it'd be unverified.

I really want Diesel Masculine but it's discontinued unless on cheapsmells or ebay or something..
post #35 of 40
I found it to be a very forgettable fragrance.
No here
post #36 of 40
The scent is nice, but for me, there's too much going on with it. There are too many notes, too many things trying to happen at once. He bit off more than he could chew with this one, though it's still good juice. Longevity wasn't the best for me as well, which brought down my impression of it.
post #37 of 40
If you have to ask you have your answer....
post #38 of 40
No projection and poor longevity. For me it's a no.

Really?? Projection: first occassion I wore 3 sprays and was told by a friend I was choking her out, second occassion I wore 2 sprays and was told my cologne was really strong, third occassion I wore one spray and hit the sweet spot. Longevity: I get at least 12 hours, sometimes more.

However, I do agree with some saying that there's too much going on. It can be somewhat difficult to digest with all those notes.

Only if you enjoy dried fruits with your shoe polish ;')
That said it is quite masculine and dark.
