EXTRAIT EXTRÊME collection from BORNTOSTANDOUT®, a line of scent creations with a unique personality, further affirms the brand's bold and unpredictable essence. For individuals who dare to venture outside of their comfort zone, the exceptional sophistication of Korean artisanal distillation, along with the creativity and unique DNA of BORNTOSTANDOUT®, have created a fragrance experience that is both rich and unexpected.
EXTRAIT EXTRÊME is a remarkable innovation that goes beyond the confines of a niche perfume bottle, with a 50–60% essential oil concentration. Each fragrance is incubated in Onggi earthenware for a more complex, smooth, and deeper aroma. Founder of BORNTOSTANDOUT® Jun Lim revealed that the four scents, including Black Guava, Oud Candy, Purple Stain, and Black Mango have extraordinary aromatic power. They are intense, full of personality and all "overdosed with natural oud," a note that isn't found in any of current BORNTOSTANDOUT® EDP lines, he said. Handcrafted by expert artisans, each drop of perfume embodies the essence of tradition and redefines absolute luxury in the breath of the times.
In keeping with BORNTOSTANDOUT®'s dedication to fine craftsmanship and limited production, every fragrance in the EXTRAIT EXTRÊME line is skillfully handmade and packed in Korea. From formulation to final packaging, this crafted process ensures outstanding care and excellence.
The everlasting contrast between light and dark became the inspiration for BLACK GUAVA. The aroma of the sun-drenched tropical as strong and brilliant as the red guava blossoms in full bloom at the first moment. The fruit is crisper and richer due to the modest astringency created by a hint of geranium underneath that softness. That explosion evokes the enigmatic beauty of darkness by striking the sense of scent intensely, vividly, and overwhelmingly. It is then swiftly encased in a thick, alluring veil of incense smoke. Earthy patchouli, cypriol smoke, and the "beastly" undertones of gray ambergris combine to create a complex, alluring, and persistent perfume that gradually draws all light into the enigmatic darkness. Like a never-ending ballet between light and dark, the subtle harmony between sweetness and incense smoke creates a striking, captivating impression.

PURPLE STAIN offers us the idea of an old winery, where the original flavor is still present in every barrel and in the conventional techniques that have been maintained over the years. The mottled remnants of purple wine, like memories preserved by time, may still be seen on the vintage pages of an old diary. The story is expressed in the invisible language of scent by perfumer Jordi Fernández. A peculiar blend of smells enters through the nose right away, arousing every sense like a delightful hypnosis. Saffron, cinnamon, and nutmeg give Purple Stain a warm opening, while bergamot and pink grapefruit peel add brightness. A delicate, rich feeling is created by the center layer's soothing vanilla, rich caramel, and orange blossoms. Lastly, cistus resin and opulent akigalawood soften the smokey incense, patchouli, and cypriol, leaving an aftertaste that evokes profound vibrations like an invisible memory.

While sweetness is the central concept of the EXTRAIT EXTRÊME collection, OUD CANDY still welcomes you with the sweetest but even softest feelings. Like a slow stream of honey spreading, the top notes are the rich sweetness of melting brown sugar combined with the richness of warm milk and nuts, lulling each sense into a soothing enchantment. Then, like a beautiful silence in the middle of a swelling symphony, the white blossoms slowly begin to bloom. As time goes on, the initial sweetness gradually disappears and is replaced by a layer of dark wood and deep smoke, where warm vanilla, burnt caramel, soft leather, and slightly spicy saffron combine with dense black oud. According to Charles Baudelaire, "Perfume is the remaining imagination of those who have loved." The aroma of Oud Candy is harmonious, resembling a silky night wrapped around its lingering sweetness, leaving a sensual, warm, and potent aftertaste on the skin. It is a sweet candy that has lost its innocence and is now enmeshed in an alluring darkness.

The inspiration for BLACK MANGO was born in a single, vivid moment when Violaine Collas bit into a perfectly ripe mango. The golden flesh burst open, releasing sweet juice that dripped over her fingertips, leaving behind a sensual, tropical aftertaste. Mangos are Violaine’s sweetest addiction, and at the heart of this fragrance, their lush sweetness deepens into a raw, almost primal richness you’ll want to savor to the very last drop. The opening is a sun-lit duet of ripe mango and fresh, juicy orange, bright as warm light on skin. At the heart, smooth sublimolide and tolu resinoid add a tender warmth, while creamy mango lassi swirls with bourbon vanilla in a delectable embrace. Under Violaine’s delicate touch, the mango feels alive, as if breathing. As the explosion of fruit begins to fade, a subtle green note from the shell emerges, offering a gentle contrast, while the luscious aftertaste lingers, impossible to forget.
Top: Mango, Orange EO
Heart: Mango Lassi, Bourbon Vanilla, Tolu Resinoid, Sublimolide
