Tom Ford for Men Extreme
by Tom Ford
Tom Ford for Men Extreme is a richly layered, deeply masculine fragrance that blends earthy truffle, sweet fig, and woody cedar into a complex, velvety composition. It opens with a bold, slightly animalic blend of citrus and fig, evoking hand-tuned leather and damp forest floor, with a potent, almost incense-like intensity that mellows into a smooth, warm amber-vois. The scent is not loud or aggressive—it wears close to the skin, creating a subtle yet powerful presence that draws people in. It exudes sophistication, class, and quiet authority, making it ideal for formal or evening wear, particularly in cooler months. The performance is moderate, with significant longevity and slight intensity that fades into a soft, warm drydown after a few hours. It’s not for those seeking overt projection or bombastic power, but rather for those who appreciate depth, nuance, and restrained elegance. It stands out as one of Tom Ford’s most refined and memorable offerings.
