611 Extremo Giovanna Antonelli for women and men

Too strong and sweet for my taste. "Mature" is the perfect description. The tuberose and pear are very dark and muddled. Projection is excellent. Good for you if you can wear this!

Good scent for mature women.
I find this for older ladies. Not for a young soul I think. I did smell this once before, maybe it was another scent from the ‘reminds me of’ list. But I smelled it on older ladies in their 60-70.
It’s too heavy on tuberose and I smell a lot of licorice.

Update: I was wrong that It would be suitable for older ladies. I sprayed on my skin and it radiates Hubba Bubba bubblegum. Just a gorgeous smell that makes you fall in love. I have a better mood thanks to this. Love love love

I don't think this is getting enough love!
A soft powdery tuberose with a little fruit and ... I thought it was anise ... but looking at the notes and sniffing again it's a hint of licorice. Sweet, delicate but moderate sillage and surprisingly long lasting. It's soft, sweetened with vanilla and benzoin and just beautiful in the evening, but it has plenty of interest and freshness for sunny days too. I think it's fabulous.

The opening of this fragrance is incredibly icky and sweet with a tuberose that has that bubblegum quality you can sometimes get. I didn't notice the rhubarb in truth but that could've been conspiring to create that pink hubba bubba opening? 611 becomes heavily exotic and heady with what I perceive as ylang ylang, but could just be the tuberose mellowing out. Also adding to this I got a almost boozy tonka/caramel base underneath but this is likely the sweet benzoin/vanilla and you do get a touch of licorice too.
It's interesting reading the notes now and comparing to what I thought they might've been.
Anyway...this fragrance does transition a long way staying quite floral but then drying down to basically a vanilla sweet benzoin which is probably my favourite part.
At first I thought it was clumsy, flouncy, perfumery and overly ballsy in a Mugler kind of way. This perfume reminded me of the trend of this and the mini resurgence of late with everyone and their dog banging on about Byron Mula Mula with which this has some similarities.
Opening hour or two was a bit rough going but then as it developed I really liked it, I'd say it's more feminine leaning for me.

these all have a sort of bitter chemical vibe to them; this one is potent and pretty intense; sweet tuberose, pear, rhubarb, benzoin, hawthorn. A powerhouse, nothing creamy or milky or shy about it.

A milky tuberose.

A beautiful milky creamy tuberose slightly fresh yet gourmand. i just detect a hazy licorice, and white jasmines not dominant but quite thin.

Pure beauty.

major tuberose and iris floral on me

The fragrance of 611 Extremo had, as inspiration, a walk through the Botanical Garden in Rio de Janeiro. The perfumer was Cécile Matton, who has been involved with several creations for international brands such as Lalique, Giorgio Armani, Etat Libre d'Orange, Viktor & Rolf, etc. The name (each fragrance has a number in front) does not have an established concept, except for the fact that one of the requirements was the use of 11, which has great personal significance for Giovanna. And the term Extremo means, in Portuguese, Extreme.

611 Extremo is classified, by the manufacturer, as floral-oriental or, as the industry has been calling in recent years, "floriental". It has notes of bergamot, pear, and rhubarb, heading the composition and bringing an opulent body of tuberose, Egyptian jasmine, and hawthorn. At the base were combined notes of iris, benzoin, vanilla, and licorice.
On the skin, the fragrance of 611 Extremo is more mutant than that of 411 Intenso. And that's great! In fact, the fragrance surprises by remembering several pieces of other perfumes and concentrating them in the same composition.

Do you like tuberose? Then you will like this perfume. Don’t you like tuberose? No problem! And I explain why. Despite being a fan of fragrances that have rhubarb, this note does not stand out here. The output is dominated by the pear note, which bears the same nuance of pear from other current fragrances as, for example, that of the Black Opium EDT (YSL). Then, the floral body brings a delicious tuberose, which arrives hand in hand with the strong indolic side of jasmine and dominates the evolution, almost completely. It is at this stage that fans of fragrances such as Central Park West (Bond No.9), Terracotta Le Parfum (Guerlain) and Carnal Flower (Frederic Malle) will identify with 611 Extremo. However, the tuberose is not so voluptuous to the point of bothering those who do not stand its smell. And this is because the perfumer, creator of other floral fragrances full of oriental and gourmands nuances, managed to balance the floral aspect with a sweetened base, which is not excessively sweet. The vanilla and the benzoin are dipped in a kind of aniseed liqueur that cuts sweetness and blends to the iris, slightly powdery, but without that scent of makeup.

611 Extremo is a scent that fools the senses and makes you think of coconut and ylang-ylang notes for several moments. My only concern would be a limitation that can occur in very hot places, such as Rio de Janeiro (the place of inspiration), which has temperatures above 40ºC during the summer. In addition, the male audience may be wary of wearing this type of fragrance, especially the Brazilian, more accustomed to aromatic and oceanic scents and raised with the saying that a masculine cologne "has to be woody." But for those who have already crossed this genre barrier and like to venture into the universe of niche fragrances, it is a gem.

It is worth saying that it projects and lasts very well (despite the fact that it caused me a little bit of olfactory fatigue) and has the same presentation of the others, with that white box and golden label, in honor of the Municipal Theater in Rio de Janeiro.

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE FRAGRANCES..!IT LEANS MORE ON THE FEMININE SIDE. BEAUTIFUL FOR NIGTH TIME WEAR OR COLDER DAYS. IT A FLORAL WARM SWEET FRAGRANCE FOR MOMENTS I GET A MEDICINAL VIBE. I LOVE THE JASMINE, THE VANILLA AND BENZOIN!!
