Olfactory pyramid

Top Notes: Spicy Accord & Ginger
The opening is lively, spicy and stimulating: the spices and ginger immediately give an energetic, slightly “raw” impression, with a vibrant and modern soul.

Heart notes: Lavender (Lavandin) + aromatic accents
The heart carries the dominant olfactory signature of Extradose: lavender (or lavandin) is intense, aromatically clean yet warm, with a slightly herbaceous and masculine nuance. This step is important: it stabilizes the fragrance and gives it character and charm.

Base notes: Vetiver, Warm woods (Guaiac wood, woody notes)
The drydown is earthy, woody, and robust. Vetiver adds a natural, slightly earthy, and virile touch, while warm woods and guaiac wood enhance the depth and persistence. The drydown reveals a warm, enveloping, masculine, and sophisticated profile.

Occasions of use

Extradose is ideal for:

Evenings, appointments, dinners, events

Autumn and winter , or cool spring evenings, thanks to its warm and enveloping profile

Performance

Longevity: Good-High — Many reviews report 6–8 hours or more on skin.
