by WIDIAN
Limited 71 Extreme by WIDIAN is a bold, dark oriental fragrance that unfolds with a vibrant, aromatic opening of bergamot, lavender, and sage, quickly giving way to a rich, smoky heart of akigalawood, amber, and cashmeran. The oud is front and center throughout, delivering a deep, resinous, and slightly barnyard character that adds complexity and magnetism. There’s a subtle sweetness beneath, possibly from dates or saffron, though unlisted, which softens the intensity and adds nuance. The scent evolves into a luxurious, powdery base of patchouli, vetiver, and amber, creating a lasting, sensual aura that lingers for over 12 hours. With its strong sillage and dramatic projection, it’s best suited for evening wear, particularly in cooler seasons, where its dark, opulent character shines. The fragrance stands out for its high-quality ingredients and elegant, dramatic character, making it a standout among WIDIAN’s limited releases. It's not for those seeking a light or fresh scent, but for those who appreciate powerful, evocative profiles with considerable depth and presence. While some note a resemblance to Liwa in its sweetness and smokiness, the overall composition is distinct and more mature, leaning into a serious, smoky-woody aesthetic.
