Chaco is the second largest primary forest of Latin America, called the "impenetrable forest" for its incredibly dense formation. This Paraguayan forest is the only place in the world where gaiac wood grows, known locally as palo santo. The region is also prized by perfumers as source of petitgrain essential oil, as well yerba maté tea leaves. Chaco the fragrance is a cologne style built around a refined tea structure. Perfumer Alexandra Monet placed the petitgrain and maté in conversation with each other, heightening each other’s mellow greenness in the process. Palo santo, with its woody, salty and smoky facets, brings warmth and sensuality, resulting in a unique unisex signature with lightness and modern elegance.

About Paul Smith Extreme Woman by Paul Smith
- What makes Paul Smith Extreme Woman unique compared to these similar fragrances?
- Paul Smith Extreme Woman combines a balanced blend of floral, woody, and musky notes with fresh green tea and spicy cinnamon accents. The inclusion of lily-of-the-valley, amber, and patchouli creates a complex depth not fully matched by these alternatives, which tend to focus more on either fresh, woody, smoky, or fruity facets individually.
- Can I expect a smoky character in Paul Smith Extreme Woman?
- Extreme Woman has a subtle warmth from cinnamon and amber, but it is not prominently smoky. Fragrances like Mad by And Fragrance or 14 Juillet by Bastille have a distinctly smoky character that is more pronounced than in Extreme Woman.
- Which shared notes should I focus on if I like Paul Smith Extreme Woman’s freshness?
- Key notes contributing to the freshness include green tea, bergamot, blackcurrant, and freesia. These elements bring brightness and vibrancy, often balanced by woody or musky bases. Selecting fragrances emphasising these notes will replicate the fresh aspect of Extreme Woman.
