I have the original Ummagumma and I love the spicy, chocolate sweetness of it. I was a little worried when I heard about Ummagumma extra but it's amazing. It opens with the dark chocolate and then moves into this absolutely beautiful incense scent. It still has just a hint of sweetness which keeps it from coming on too strong. This version of Ummagumma is an absolute delight.

I love the original, but this seems more like what the scent was intended to be. Much darker, sharper, and bolder. Love it! The incense is MUCH more noticeable than in the EDP. Very liturgical style incense, so you do have to be pretty in love with that smell.

I am going to don Ummagumma Extra as my "friendlier" version of Ummagumma because I am known for wearing dark, spicy, smoky & even somewhat haunting slightly medicinal scents which at times are not for the "general public" . I did not read the difference in notes between the two, only "the stronger and longer lasting" & as Ummagumma is one of my all time favorite scents (ever) I jumped to the site the moment I received the email announcing the release of Extra. Soon after arrival, I gave my wrist 2 hefty pumps , waited a couple seconds & the air emitted a dense chocolate & the surprise of a very powdery sweetness I had not expected. (Let me clarify it is a beautiful scent, just shockingly different than the original on me). Two hours in I sprayed the other wrist with the original Ummagumma I have loved for years. I held off about 3 minutes before comparing. Yes the similarity of most notes were spot on , however without the spicy carnation , the frankincense , or the resinous .As promised, the sillage of the Extra is higher, as well as the longevity , but on me the sweetness and the chocolate far exceed the spice & other notes of the Original. I highly suggest trying it; & again I state it is beautiful / unique ; perhaps only my nose breathes in & my skin emits a much sweeter and powdery version .

At first my nose wasn't mature enough to decipher this beautiful composition and by the time I started loving it unfortunately it was sold out so once I got the email for umma gumma extra I had to purchase definitely more potent , more long lasting and projecting as the og my favorite from the house

In addition to Lampblack, this is perhaps one of my favorite perfumes that Bruno makes. Warm, rich, cozy, luscious -- perfect wintertime smell.
