L'Humaniste Extrême revisits freshness in perfumery, starting on top, as its illustrious predecessor, with notes of bergamot, lemon, pepper and pink berries, enhanced by a liquorous, powerful heart. A fleshy note of quince, a hint of patchouli, melting with a comforting, elegant tolu balm, rounded out by a delightful accord of moss and Tonka bean. L'Humaniste Extrême exudes a powerful freshness of elegance and refinement.

The original L'Humaniste deepened — bergamot, pepper, and nutmeg over developed character.

Editor's Notes

The original L’Humaniste was made in 2009, just before boutique gins had properly arrived on the scene. And now, with L’Humaniste Extreme, we discover a fragrance more developed in character, coloured with deeper tones. The effervescent freshness of the original remains, holding back from its cut of tonic water (or vermouth, take your pick) - embracing more resinous and woody profiles. Its intense herbal profile, viscous and liqueur-like, lends bitterness and rounded fruitiness, like an extraction from the hard skins of citrus fruits and quince. While a complex of woody spices and chypric notes imagines a gin aged in oak barrels. Indeed, L’Humaniste Extreme is a gin to be savoured, served in a snifter than a tall Collins glass. Impressions of liquorice, bitter lemon, orris root, and cut grass are to be found. On wear, it offers a long-lasting and developed freshness.
