The Different Company’s Extraits Extrêmes collection offers five distinct directions: leather and tuberose, aromatic herbs, smoky incense, lemon pastry and salted caramel. June launch coverage introduced Crazy Tubéreuse, Gin-Seng, Gothic Incense, Maddy and Salty Kiss in 10 ml and 50 ml Extrait de Parfum formats.
Crazy Tubéreuse: flowers and leather
Alexandra Monet’s Crazy Tubéreuse combines black pepper and aldehydes with tuberose and night-blooming jasmine, followed by Russian leather and styrax. Start here if leather alongside white flowers appeals more than a fresh floral bouquet.

Base Notes
Gin-Seng: ginger, herbs and woods
Meng Gu’s Gin-Seng opens with goji berry, fresh ginger and basil. Blue chamomile, red ginseng and watery fruit accords lead into herbaceous musk, Haitian vetiver and cedar. Consider it for a green, aromatic direction rather than the collection’s pastry sweetness.
The traditional Chinese medicine reference is the fragrance’s creative theme, rather than a reason to expect a therapeutic effect.
Gothic Incense: pepper and smoky woods
Serge de Oliveira’s Gothic Incense pairs black and pink pepper with a green spice accord. Incense essence and absolute accompany burnt cedar; smoked woods, oakmoss and Atlas cedar form the base. Choose this one to explore smoke and dry woods.
Maddy: lemon madeleine and rum
Véronique Nyberg’s Maddy uses frosted lemon zest, a salted-butter madeleine accord, aged rum and vanilla. It is the clearest starting point if you want a cake-like gourmand.
Some Maddy wearers enjoy its lemon-and-madeleine resemblance, including a nutty pastry impression. One likes the scent but finds it familiar among citrus gourmands. Sample it beside a lemon gourmand you already own to decide whether you want another version of that theme.
Salty Kiss: caramel, pecan and biscuit
Cristiano Canali’s Salty Kiss combines sea salt with salted-butter caramel, pecan, speculoos and white musk. The salt sits within a sweet gourmand composition; the name alone is not a reason to expect a fresh aquatic fragrance. Try it if caramel and toasted-nut notes appeal more than Maddy’s citrus pastry.
Where to start
Pick the direction you most want to wear: Crazy Tubéreuse for leather florals, Gin-Seng for herbs, Gothic Incense for smoke, Maddy for lemon cake, or Salty Kiss for caramel and pecan. The official collection page includes a discovery kit, which lets you compare them before choosing a larger bottle. Check its contents and your local purchasing options when ordering.
For context on the format, see our EDT, EDP and Parfum guide. Concentration is one part of a fragrance; select the composition you enjoy rather than using the percentage as a quality or wear-time ranking.
