What does Exceptional Because You Are for Men smell like?

The top notes are violet, bergamot and cardamom, with bergamot giving a bright citrus feel. Ozone, juniper berry and plum sit in the heart, where plum carries the fruity, sweet side. The base of vetiver, frankincense, musk and sandalwood settles the scent on a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it suits anyone who wants a light scent that stays close to the skin. It is marketed as a men's fragrance. Rasasi Hawas for Him and Nautica Nautica Blue (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
