The perfect mixed concoction. It will need many sniffing before you properly understand it. It's literally the best niche out there, it's enjoyable, complex, no price cheating, pulls compliments, satisfies fragrance snobs, because it's made to smell naturally. Woodlovers will be covered too, because it's saw-dusty due to the Akigalawood.
It's very versatile, fresh enough for summer, complex and woody enough for winter, longevity is excellent.

Yeah, that's about right.
It's powerful and oily. It has this strong cypress opening note, some would even call it a turpentine note, and this note is not for everyone, that's for sure! Also, if you will hug someone shortly after applying L'Extreme, the smell will stick to them like glue, so you better restrain yourself from hugging your girl who just put some Black Opium on her neck.
I would say it's the perfect 'lone wolf' type for walks in the forest or park on a rainy or foggy day. Goes nice with reading a book. But it's like the opposite of a crowd pleaser.

The funny thing about your description is that I still find it more than interesting - a dark cloud sitting on your shoulders for an entire day. If you are energetic and always in motion, yeah, this is definitely not a frag for you. But I'm a melancholic person, sometimes even moody, so it's expected I like it.
It's like Phil Niblock's music, monotonous, deprived of emotions. I find comfort in these kinds of things:

Ok second reviewfag here, not the same as >>17191825
I bought bunch of designer samples, because i hate testing top notes at the store and im not a poorfag so i can afford it. Here are my reviews so far
> YVS La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique
Super lovely, gonna buy this soon. It is spicy sweet, very unique and overal extremely pleasant to smell.
> V Dylan Blue
Kinda boring, but still good. Kinda wanna buy so i have a normie blue frag.
> V Oud Noir
Oud smells like shit in my opinion, so i am not surprised that i dont like it. It smells like oud, there ya go.
>JPG Le male
Super good, but i also immedietly recognized the scent. Might still buy though, just because it so cheap and smells so good.
>JPG ultra male
Also very good, not as good as Le Male, and one of my classmates wear it, so i wont buy it unless it goes on a big sale
> Terre d'Hermes
Overhyped, i feel like it is very simple, just a tangy vetiver. If you really like this i would suggest checking out galimard aventure, they smell super similar, but galimard aventure costs like 28 euro.
>D Sauvage
Just a boring fresh spicy frag, i didnt even recognize the scent, so my country probably agrees with me
>Dior Fahrenheit
Very good and interesting opening, turns to kinda simple leather. Not my style, but i might still buy it when it goes on sale.
>D Homme Intense
Boring, but i am going to try it again, because i think i might have gone nose blind when i tested it.
>Prada Lhomme
Very clean and lovely opening. Continues to be clean throughout, but at like 2 hours it starts smelling like shit for like an hour. Need to try again if something went wrong
>A Reflection Man
Its a meh frag, not worth its price at all. It is a more complex version of neroli intense
>TF Black Orchid
Opening is way to sweet, it gets a bit more gourmand and woody, but i dont really like it.
>CDG 2
Smells super weird, kinda like if you took some of those sour gummy worms, and then injected them with chemicals and woody notes.

They tend to be very strong. Lots of his fragrances are based on huge overdoses of aroma chems but he uses much more interesting ones that things like ambroxan or iso e super.
You can find the formula for megamare in some posts on basenotes and it uses some super expensive aroma molecule at something like a 25% concentration.

eros edp - really good, hard to describe
eros flame edp - gets me a lot of compliments from ladies but my bros ask me if it's my mom's perfume
lacoste 12 12 blanc - smells nice, spicy?
issey miyake l'eau d'issy - smells fruity and wonderful
acqua di gio - smells like citrus, i think the issey miyake is better

32 year old male here.

Most of my career I've worked at places that don't care about what I look or smell like (bike shops, big marketing firms, small ad agencies, think jeans and t-shirts as the norm), but I'm up for a design director roll at a very high end home goods company.

Based on the company and people running it (they all look like high power NYC women who spend a lot of time on their look) I get the feeling I can't roll in wearing just old spice.

Would something like this be an okay scent? I've never worn any sort of scent before.

Other people really enjoy it. I enjoy getting compliments and for everybody that gives you a compliment, there shit loads of people who think you smell good

I don’t know what I’m going to do when I stop getting compliments, because realistically speaking everybody in my immediate circle of people I know can only tell me that I smell good once.

I can understand why some anons don’t like it, to be honest, there are other fragrances that I enjoy wearing more, but I wear BI everyday at the moment because “normies” (people who don’t autistically collect frags as a hobby) love that shit. Expressing your identity or your feelings is all fine and dandy but the whole point of wearing a fragrance is so that people think you smell good.

I think some anons hate BI it because it doesn’t get them compliments. Then they have to ask themselves what the reason for this is and that’s a really hard pill to swallow…

Wearing it first time right now. About 4 hours in. It isn’t bad. It has many notes that tie together, which is neat for the price. Dry down is definitely where it’s at. Soft, clean, it straddles a lot of profiles so it’s hard to pin down. Early on I thought it smelled a little old ladyish, but that is very subjective. Definitely unisex, I wouldn’t call this masculine really. It’s a solid fragrance, and I like linear stuff mostly.
