Key word here is Tried!!! I don't like this scent, it reminds me of Vitamin C chewable's our Parents use to shove in our mouths in the 80' and 90's..! there is a kinda leathery ness at the far dry down making it the only part I enjoyed, had another clone of Oud for Greatness, without realizing it accept that one has added metallic and tooth infection smell added in, Yeah I hate it! at least this one is tolerable but do not like it...

I seen a few reviews of people and reviewers praising this fragrance, so finally bought a bottle.. wish I had not!!! I love the smell of Fig trees and Figs and could see how it could be used in a nice Freshy that would be a heavy weight in crowd pleaser!!
THAT IS NOT THIS!!! It smells nothing like FIG!!! Fig trees grow Wild where I live even lived under a Giant Fig tree growing up for a time (homeless Children so we camped a lot!!)
as bad as that sounds I love Fig Trees and well versed how they smell!!
I can't stand the smell of this smells closer to a grapefruit style of Citrus that got lost in the fridge, or maybe a bag of rotten Oranges with a ting of creamy and again that Grapefruit sharp bitter ready to spear your Nose Hairs!!! as it plunders your nostrils of all that is Holy so it can strangle your Sinus glands! Imagen those old cheesy westerns where the Villon is strangling a damsel in destress as she screams for her Cowboy Hero to come to answer her cries for help, as the Villon removes one hand again and again to smack her for every cry for help, she is your Sinus glands the Villon is Figue, and the Hero Cowboy got held up in a game of poker at the saloon (The Damsel is BLEEEEEP)

How ever not all is lost it seems to smell much better in winter and along side a sweet caramelly rubberesk resin-ness like the dry down of Ard Al Zaafarans Mukhallat Kalaam which also has a smoky Vanilla smell to it

Thats right use in winter and layer it one side this frag the other side the other (not sprayed in the same place type layering but multi faceted style)

Polo Red Extreme has a bit of a TM pure malt thing going on when on my skin, on my clothing it is unmistakably polo red dna!! I can't say I love it when it comes to being on my close, so normally in layering habits I pick one for the skin and one for my clothing or I will wear it on both, this one it's a skin wearing fragrance!!! layered or not, Awesome stuff!!

I truly love the malt note in this!!! this is by far my most favorite so far of the pure line or from tierry mugler for that matter!! it has a little to much alcohol and medicinal smell for the first minute or so but quickly go's away, don't let this one pass you by!

it smells like a piece of wood freshly cut then sweetened!!! then there is another note that kinda takes it from smelling like wood at the same time! kinda weird! any one remember avon tai winds & wild country?? it smells like some one took these two layered them then dumped sweetness in there :/ but I can say I do like it a little more then when I first sprayed it but can't say I like it still before I just did not! at all actually any who think I am going to get rid of it I just don't care to wear it! I do like the old avon wild country but thats because of the heavy note of oakmoss! but not this, it's a little splattered together not happy with it
