Packaging
The first thing to notice about Kalahari Extreme is the lavish packaging. The fragrance bottle is housed in a gorgeous white box with a beautiful print in orange inside. The colour story compliments the perfume so much and looks very special, just like the fragrance itself. Just like other bottles from this house, this bottle also has an eye-catching weighty lid depicting an ouroboros, an ancient symbol of the snake biting its tail to signify endless regeneration.

The nose behind this fragrance is Majda Bekkali. This olfactory masterpiece opens with energetic top notes of pear, anise, and orange, creating a vivid, spicy freshness reminiscent of dawn breaking over sand dunes. As the scent develops, captivating heart notes emerge, including Virginia cedarwood, myrrh, nutmeg, pink pepper, and cardamom, infusing a woody and spicy complexity that reflects the desert’s depth and warmth. Finally, the mesmerising base notes of frankincense and labdanum remain, leaving a lasting impression that captures the timeless allure and mystique of the desert environment, a fascination that endures through the ages.
Performance
It starts very strong and dries down as a lovely, musky scent with a soft projection. It stays on my skin for about 4–5 hours.
