What does Excite (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top opens fresh with aquatic notes, citrus notes, green leaves and pear. In the heart, caramel, coconut and marshmallow bring sweetness, while black pepper and ginger add a spicy edge. The base settles on hazelnut, vanilla, amber and cedarwood, a soft, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters place it mostly in spring, fall and winter, with leisure and daily use leading the occasions. Most describe it as masculine and modern. Gianfranco Ferré L'Uomo and Jaguar Stance have a close profile.
