Duc de Vervins L'Extreme

Duc de Vervins L'Extreme by Houbigant is a citrus fragrance first of all, with spicy, green, floral, aromatic and amber notes all around it. It was released in 1991 as a masculine scent.

Lemon and bergamot open it with a bright, sharp citrus burst, clean and invigorating. Lavender adds a herbal, aromatic freshness typical of traditional men's fragrances, while orange blossom gives a soft, bittersweet floral note. Spicy notes then warm the heart. The base is classic in style: oakmoss brings a damp, earthy, forest-floor greenness, and amber a gentle, golden warmth that rounds off the composition.

With its citrus brightness and mossy depth, it suits spring and early autumn, for daytime, the office and smart occasions where a groomed, traditional scent fits. It will appeal to someone who appreciates the classic citrus-and-moss style of earlier decades and wants a refined, gentlemanly fragrance rather than a modern sweet one.
