The original Jimmy Choo Man launched in 2011 and has since grown into a popular fragrance collection for men who want sophisticated, stylish scents.
Over the years, the designer fashion house has released new versions of Man, each appealing to different tastes and occasions. For 2025, they're offering something a little warmer and spicier, and it's bang on trend. Below, I've collated all the details on Jimmy Choo Man Extreme, including how it smells and what makes it different to the other scents in the range...
What Does Man Extreme Eau de Parfum Smell Like?
Man Extreme has the modern, masculine freshness of the original Jimmy Choo Man, peppered with herbal and spice notes. It's warmer and woodier, making it, in my opinion, a more elevated interpretation that is bold and charming.
You'll Love Jimmy Choo Man Extreme If:
You'll love Jimmy Choo Man Extreme if you want something different from your 'standard' fresh fragrance. Man Extreme is masculine and stylish like the original, but this interpretation is more herbal and spicy. Perhaps you're a Jimmy Choo Man fan and looking for something a little more elevated for special occasions or just a subtle change.
What Are Man Extreme's Notes?
Fragrance family is Fougere Aromatic Ambery
Top notes are Red Thyme, Black Pepper.
Heart notes are Clary Sage, Geranium.
Base notes are Tonka Bean, Vetiver.
What's the Inspiration Behind the Man Extreme?
The Jimmy Choo Man fragrance collection embodies a stylish and sophisticated man. For Man Extreme, Jimmy Choo has leaned into his adventurous side, creating a scent to stand out and get noticed.
What Does Man Extreme Smell Similar to?
Many people have compared Man Extreme to the iconic Dior Sauvage, and I can see the similarities, but Man Extreme isn't quite as citrusy.
What's the Longevity Like?
Of all the Jimmy Choo Man fragrances, I find this to be the most lasting. I could still smell it some 6+ hours after spraying it!
How is Man Extreme Different to the Rest of the Range?
The Jimmy Choo Man collection has always been about confidence and style. The original Man Eau de Toilette (2014) is fresh and modern with melon and patchouli, perfect for every day. Man Blue is a more rugged interpretation with leather, while Aqua's lighter, citrus-woody aroma is ideal to wear in summer and Ice's musky base pairs well with a sophisticated suit. Now, there’s Man Extreme, a bold, energising citrus with earthy depth and spicy warmth, perfect for standing out.
What's Special About The Design?
The original square-shaped flask bottle remains. This time, it's a vibrant red bottle with silver accents. Like other versions, the fragrance's lid is made from leather with a crocodile skin effect, which continues onto the box packaging.
