South Korean niche perfume brand BORNTOSTANDOUT dropped a four-piece Extrait Extrême collection devoted to the most concentrated form of fragrance. As the brand describes, “This isn’t just an extrait—it’s Extrait Extrême. A wild overdose of raw materials, pushing perfumery beyond limits with an extrême 50-60% fragrance concentration.”
This BORNTOSTANDOUT collection gets its unique qualities from a three-month aging process in traditional Korean Onggi—porcelain vessels historically used for fermentation. Extrait Extrême introduces four unmistakable, boundary-pushing products that are hand-blended, hand-filled, and hand-packed in Korea: Black Guava, Black Mango, Oud Candy, and Purple Stain.
At a time when fragrance connoisseurs can’t get enough of scents with larger-than-life projections that make their presence unmistakable, these fragrances deliver both intensity and longevity.
