What does Exquisite Prive smell like?

It opens with the citrus freshness of orange and bergamot softened by the sweetness of rum. The heart of rose, violet, jasmine and iris forms a floral, powdery layer, with fruity and creamy touches running through it. In the base, vanilla comes forward, while cedarwood, oakmoss and patchouli settle the sweetness onto a woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The gourmand and spicy tones suggest it is easier to wear in cooler weather. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Olakala Ikarus and Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial have a close profile.
