Jimmy Choo Man goes Extreme
The modern fougère fragrance is bold inside and out, with Marlon Texeira front and center
Jimmy Choo is back with its boldest men’s scent yet. The house first gave us Jimmy Choo Man in 2014, a sharp woody-aromatic staple that’s since spawned hits like Man Intense and Man Aqua. Now comes Jimmy Choo Man Extreme, a fragrance built for guys who live for the rush of the outdoors and the thrill of pushing things further.
From the first spray, it’s fiery. Red thyme and black pepper hit like a spark, setting the tone before the heart shifts into fresher territory with geranium and clary sage. It eventually dries down to a warm, masculine blend of amber woods, tonka bean, and vetiver, all smooth, sexy, and lingering.
Anne Flipo, master perfumer for Jimmy Choo, shares “To create this fragrance, I thought about the different shades of red and how to represent them olfactively. One ingredient came to me immediately, red thyme oil and its burning freshness, which brings an incredible intensity to the trail.”
As for perfumer Tanguy Guesnet, he adds “The idea was also to modernise the classic fougère structure with a sensual warmth thanks to the tonka bean and amber woods that create a real signature.”
Even the bottle leans into the drama with a scarlet lacquered flask with silver lettering and a red leather-print lid which looks as powerful as it smells.
And who better to embody all that energy than Marlon Teixeira? He’s been the face of Jimmy Choo Man since 2016, and for Extreme he’s pure adrenaline riding his motorbike along a coastal highway, ocean crashing against the rocks, before settling into that golden-hour calm. He’s the fragrance come to life: bold, free, and unforgettable.
