CreamyWhat does Mon Exclusif smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and dragée, then lavender and a solar note take over in the heart. In the base, vanilla, iris, sandalwood and coumarin build a sweet, gourmand footing, and the salted caramel softens that sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards nights out and evenings, yet works for daily wear too. Most voters read it as feminine. Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain (Eau de Parfum) and Byron Parfums Black Butterfly have a close profile.
