Paul Smith Extreme Woman 5ml EDT Mini
Paul Smith Extreme Woman is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women, originally launched in 2003. The composition was crafted by renowned perfumer Antoine Maisondieu and captures a refined, modern femininity with a crisp, contemporary edge. The opening unfolds with a bright citrus-green aura from Green Tea, Black Currant, Bergamot, and Mandarin Orange; a graceful floral heart emerges with Cassia, Freesia, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Musk; the base settles into a warm, sophisticated blend of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Amber. This 5ml EDT mini offers the same essence in a travel-friendly size, making it ideal for testing, purse carry, and on-the-go refreshes without sacrificing the signature Paul Smith experience.

Fragrance Notes
The scent opens with a crisp, green-tea driven brightness intertwined with the tart-sweet facets of Black Currant and zesty Bergamot and Mandarin Orange. The heart step softens into Cassia’s gentle spice, airy Freesia, delicate Lily-of-the-Valley, and a touch of Musk, creating a clean floral core. The base adds warmth from Cedar and Sandalwood, balanced by Vetiver, Patchouli, and Amber, which together ground the composition with a luxurious, skin-like warmth. The overall impression is a light-to-moderate sillage that feels elegant, contemporary, and wearable across daily life, with a subtle lasting power that remains refined rather than overpowering. Subtle woody and amber tones give it a lasting signature without becoming abrasive, making it suitable for work, social events, and intimate evenings.
How to Use
- Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) for optimal diffusion as the body warms the fragrance
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application to preserve the scent’s natural evaporation and bounce
- For best longevity, apply onto clean, moisturized skin; consider a matching scented lotion or unscented moisturizer beforehand
- Keep the mini bottle away from direct heat and sunlight; store at room temperature and ensure the cap is tightly closed
- If you need a midday refresh, a light spray on the chest or behind the ears helps re-capture the original aura
