I bought this a few years ago for my dad based on the recommendation of the sales assistant. He never wore it, so I “borrowed” it.
This is definitely a cool/cold weather scent. Probably more suited for the evening too.
The performance on my skin was honestly not very good. I got maybe an hour or two of projection (and that’s being generous) and then it quickly became a skin scent. Other people are saying the opposite, so maybe I had a bad batch.
It’s a very sweet scent, probably due to the vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood, but I didn’t get much in the way of the citrus.
At any rate, it was nice enough, but I didn’t get much enjoyment out of it and I’ll probably never buy it again.
I hope for everyone else that I just got a bad batch and you’ve had a better experience than me.

Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is my first try of this house, and allegedly this entry is now discontinued.
It’s primarily a dark, sweet, powdery blend that is a semi-gourmand, dominated by notes of tonka, vanilla, pepper, and woods, with citrus in the opening. It’s slightly provocative but does not remotely test the boundaries of standard gourmandish designer scents for men.
It reminds me somewhat of Rocawear Evolution in it being a dark, overtly-synthetic but overall well done semi-gourmand fragrance. It’s enjoyable and many, especially men, would no doubt find it enjoyable.
Performance is decent, with significant projection for a couple of hours beyond which it gradually descends into being a skin scent.
Most Mandarina Duck fragrances seem inexpensive, including the similar Black, at $20-30 for 100ml, but at potentially exorbitant discontinued pricing, Black Extreme could prove more trouble than its worth, in which case I’d just pivot to the still-cheap Evolution. And if you want to pivot to leather and oud somewhat, Bvglari Man in Black is a solid option that’s comparably priced.

This is Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme for the colder months. It is sweeter and definitely suits cooler weather as opposed to warm weather. If you enjoy CAHSEE then you will likely enjoy this. It is quite hard to find these days though.

Just posted mine on ebay for sale. I haven’t used it at all because I just have too many fragrances and it’s been lying around for a few months, untouched. So, I figured I’d just sell it.

I owned this but wasn’t anything special. So I sold it.
It’s the same concept as Chanel eau extreme except that one is better this one is more sweeter and you would have a hard time pulling this one off in warmer temperatures.
If I remember performance was pretty good. 3-4 hours of nice projection. Lasted about 12 hours on skin longer on clothing.
Never really gave it a chance but didn’t blow me away. CHASEE on the other hand….I fricken love that scent.

This cologne is like that hot girl that ghosts you after getting her number, NOWHERE to be found. Amazon, ebay, every online perfume retailer etc, all out of stock. If someone knows where to buy this please share the love, I can’t be the only one looking to get their hands on this.

Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is a rich slightly gourmand oriental fougere. The opening is a cannon blast of citrus, pepper, and tonka. After the citrus calms down we get a sweet visit from the light florals especially the orange blossom. The orange blossom when mixed with the other elements of this composition comes off like orange blossom water, giving it a strong mediterranean vibe. The tonka in this fragrance is deep and rich and is present throughout. The scent eventually dries down to its woody vanilla base, with embers of pepper and orange twirling around it. I quite like this scent, and it was quite affordable when I purchased it. MDBE is a wonderfully rich scent that is perfect for winter and fall. It has great longevity and is suitable for any occasion. Easy on the trigger, because MDBE is BEASTLY! This scent lingers beautifully on a scarf or on clothing, giving you that extra comfort on a cold or rainy day.

Black Extreme provides a pumped-up, potent take in this Eau De Parfum. Starting at the top and traveling all the way to the end of the scent, there is tonka. While it varies in presence, I pick it up throughout. I mean it could be listed here in the top, heart, and base and I’d believe it. So, if you don’t care for that note, you probably want to look elsewhere. Sweet orange/citrus come to play at the beginning, but fade to the background during its life. I don’t pick up very many floral notes. Perhaps some orange blossom, but the burly tonka with base notes of sandalwood and vanilla chow down on said floras because they’s hungry. Speaking of the base, our star tonka stays in the game, joining with sandalwood and vanilla, providing hours of a semi-sweet woody mix. Pepper needs to be mentioned as there is a bit of spice present, but not much. While the original Black “can” be worn in the summer heat, Extreme has to hibernate in my collection until the fall. Of course, that would will vary dependent on your climate.
Something that I’ve noticed when I do wear Extreme is the high compliment factor from women. Men: not so much, in fact none….which I’m okay with…..not that there’s anything wrong with that. While I do enjoy this scent, I had no idea it would be so well received. Every time…every-time I wear this in a public area, I get complimented or asked “what I am wearing/ please write the name down”. Puzzled looks then ensue as they hear “Mandarina Duck”, followed by questions and answers such as: “No, it is not made by nor affiliated with Duck Dynasty. Has to be the highest amount of compliments to number of wearings fragrance in my collection.
Performance is great! Finally found a newer designer Eau de Parfum release that lives up to the name. Lasts more than 10 hours and (as you can see from the previous paragraph) it gets out there. Tom Joad sums it up fairly well: “I’ll be all around in the dark. I’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look”. Very good projection lasts for about 6 +/- hours then starts to reign itself in…..slowly.
Definitely worth checking out while prices are low/still around. I would blind buy (bearing in mind: this is heavy with tonka and the less concentrated sandalwood/vanilla/sweet orange notes). If you like Black, you should like this: same vein, different part of the body. Hopefully, they will keep this in their lineup, but as they did a poor job (if any) in marketing. Time will tell.I recommend it for adventurous, romantic and adult men who always know what they are doing .

For me, this smells like a bell pepper.
It’s like entering Pizza restourants.

Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is a really good designer fragrance that fills all my needs for a winter fragrance. It is sweet relying heavily on Tonka, Vanilla and woods (all perfect notes for the cold). MDBE has a denser vibe but the citrus notes at the top and the white florals in the heart lightens it a bit so while it feels thick it doesn’t feel like a blanket like when wearing Amen another sweet Tonka heavy fragrance.
This is a nice under the radar fragrance that will demand people’s attention in casual settings. I’d consider it a great date frag in any weather. Orientals in general work well on me to others. Most are warm, inviting and very people friendly. Hard to imagine a guy wearing MDBE to offend those around him if worn the right way…Which leads me to performance.
You can choke people out with this fragrance because while its not a 12+ plus scent, it get’s pretty close, while projecting loudly for many hours. It lasted 9 hours on my skin. So be very wise on the amount of sprays. It can walk a fine line between ‘just right’ and ‘too much’. anything over 4 sprays may be pressing your luck…In my opinion this is a less is more frag. But if its really cold and you feel like being obnoxious, go for it…lol…Every once in a while I have the urge to do that too…lol
This isn’t a complicated scent which evolves through its stages in a seamless Guerlain like way…It’s more linear and no where near complex…But i’d buy this scent again if for nothing than the fact that most guys won’t know about this brand let alone this fragrance and it smells great for hours. The EDT is very similar as others have noted and some may be hard pressed to notice the difference besides the performance aspect.
Simply Put: This is a better, warmer and stronger alternative to POLO Black or even La Nuit and would be a great all around fragrance for lovers of sweet masculine scents.

Glad I came across this one. Like most have said before, it does smell like the EDT but Extreme performs better. Longevity and sillage are good, above average. Overall, the tonka and wood are ramped up slightly, while the citrus is toned down a little but still there. If you don’t care for tonka, you may want to pass on this one.
Of the EDT and EDP, I do like the EDP better. Smells somewhat more well blended to my nose. I love how they didn’t change the scent completely. Too many flankers have no relation to the original. A company comes up with a scent that sells and rides the coat-tails of popularity in hopes we will buy something that smells completely different. It would be like if you went to a restaurant that is famous for their pizza, you order a new kind of pizza on the menu, and they bring you a turkey sandwich…You wouldn’t be too happy. Unless you don’t like pizza but then why are you ordering pizza in the first place. :-).
Anyway, Extreme keeps the original Black’s identity but with some refining and tweaking. Like the review below, I get some of the comparisons to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. So if you like CAHSEE or the EDT, you will like this one. I know I do.

This is very close to the EDT version in smell. The selling point obviously is because this is an EDP and in theory last longer and has more powerful silage. This one certaily will not let you down. The tonka bean note is the more prominent of all of the notes listed, although the citrus notes and to a much lesser extent the vanilla notes are present. The silage is superb DO NOT OVERSPRAY and the longevity is second to none!
This is actually a really good alternative the Chanel Allure Pour Homme Sport Eau Extreme. It smells quite similar especially in the dry down and costs half as much. I would say only that Chanel Allure Pour Homme Eau Extreme has a bit more citrus. It also has comparable silage and projection. Absolutely worth a shot!
Sidenote: when shopping online for this a lot of places have this listed as a women’s fragrance. There is no women’s version, so if you’re on a site that does have this listed as a women’s fragrance ignore that! (fragrancenet.com)

Pretty much a more refined version of the EDT. Smells a bit more mature to me (And thats fine since Im no longer in my 20s) with more sandalwood and black pepper. Projection and longevity are up but it’s still not a beast. In the end I think this is the evolution of the already fantastic “regular” Black.
P.S. Extremely wearable on Summer nights, just don’t get crazy..

I just got this in the mail today from Israel…..I love it.
It definitely smells like the original version right off the bat, but side-by-side, this one is more refined and mysterious.
It ends with a more sandalwood-vanilla woody finish as it’s not quite as balmy as the original.
The original is more balmy while this is more woody. Still very smooth. My girlfriend LOVES it.

Yep notes are the same, but you can make out the words Eau De Parfum on the box.
Would definitely like to sample this if it’s even been released yet?!

These are the same notes as pure black. Are they just amped up for greater lasting power and projection?
