What does Excellence smell like?
Most voters read it as masculine. Autumn and winter are the favoured seasons, followed by spring, and evening and night-out wear lead, though office and daily use also get votes. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Roberto Cavalli Florence and Khadlaj Titan have a close profile.
It opens with bright grapefruit and mandarin orange, with pink pepper adding a light spice. In the heart, orange blossom, iris and lily of the valley make it softly floral. It dries down to tonka bean, vanilla and amber, leaving a sweet, gourmand, oriental warmth.
