How does the 2022 Edition compare to the 2018 Limited 71 Extreme?+−
The 2022 Edition is generally regarded as a smoother and warmer iteration. While the original had its fans, the 2022 version is often cited as having a more refined scent profile that highlights the resinous amber and frankincense more effectively.
Is the oud in this fragrance "barnyard" or animalic?+−
No, the oud used here is clean, smoky, and woody. The community consensus is that it is a very wearable, modern oud that leans into sophistication rather than the pungent or "dirty" qualities found in some traditional oriental perfumery.
Which seasons are best for wearing Limited 71?+−
This fragrance is best suited for the colder months of fall and winter. Its dense accords of smoke, amber, and spice can feel too heavy or cloying in the high humidity of summer.
Is this a safe blind buy?+−
Given its price point and the complexity of the smoky-woody notes, sampling is highly recommended. While it is praised for quality, the intensity of the ambergris and oud makes it a polarising choice for those who prefer lighter, fresher scents.
