Paul Smith Extreme for Man Eau de Toilette

I enjoy blind-buying perfumes based on the pyramid and reviews. It's like a game. Usually, I like everything, but this scent is an exception. Unfortunately, it's just not good. It has an interesting pyramid structure, but it lacks something special. It smells like shaving foam.

I bought this product without testing it, specifically for warm weather. I was attracted to the description of the first notes, including lemon and bergamot, as a fresh and spicy scent, with a musky ending. In reality, there is no freshness; it mainly has sweet and cloying notes, with a hint of incense but without the musk. It is suitable for those who enjoy warm, cozy, and sweet fragrances. However, for me, it is too overpowering.

Adding to the review.
We opened the bottle of the gift and were shocked - there was absolutely nothing in common, not even a hint. In fact, we couldn't smell anything except alcohol! It was extremely disappointing. I called the operator, Elena, and she didn't give me any optimism, just standard phrases about authenticity guarantees, etc. But when she suggested that I might have confused the scents and compared them incorrectly, I was beyond outraged! Only my extreme busyness prevented me from writing to the complaint department with photos of this bottle and the previous, larger one that I had bought here without a doubt of its authenticity.
At the end of the day, I came back to the perfume, and oh, miracle! I could smell the familiar scent from a distance!
I don't know what happened - maybe it needed some time to settle, breathe, warm up, or maybe something else, but I withdraw all my complaints, apologize to the website, and personally to Elena.
The fragrance is authentic! It's fantastic, sparkling, warm, enveloping, tempting, teasing, simply magnificent!
Thank you, Makeup, I will remain your customer!

Thank you for bringing back this perfume on the website. The scent is amazing. Thank you.

The perfume is good, the main thing is that my husband liked it. But there are two things that bother me: 1. The scent doesn't unfold properly, the initial notes are too strong (to put it bluntly, almost overpowering). 2. The cardboard box doesn't have a special code. Although this fragrance doesn't seem like a fake - everything is as it should be - the bottle, the quality of the box, the authenticity of the barcode. Overall, I will continue ordering - I think it's still the original.
