What does L'Excellente smell like?

The top holds peach, passion fruit, raspberry and green notes, with persimmon and pomegranate rounding out the fruit. Lotus, orchid and magnolia bring a soft floral heart. In the base, violet, vanilla and amber turn the sweetness creamy and powdery, while patchouli and mahogany add a woody depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Its value for money also scores high. La Rive Tender and Jil Sander Style have a close profile.
