What does Ex'cla-ma'tion smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters call it feminine, with some reading it as classic or modern. Fall, spring and summer draw about equal support, with winter a little behind. It is chosen most for leisure and daily wear, and it also finds a place at the office. Perfumes with a close profile include Elizabeth Arden True Love and Jil Sander Sun.
It opens with apricot, peach, green notes and bergamot, a fruity and fresh start. The heart of rose, jasmine, heliotrope, lily of the valley and orris root builds a floral, powdery body. Sandalwood, cedar, vanilla, cinnamon, amber and musk in the base sweeten and soften the finish.
