What does Exultat smell like?
It opens with Sicilian orange, Brazilian bitter orange and Brazilian lime alongside Somalian frankincense, so bright citrus is softened by a resinous note. In the heart, violet leaf and violet take over, bringing the green and powdery character. The base of Haitian vetiver, Texas cedar and precious woods sets a woody, faintly smoky ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer chosen less often. It suits settings from daily wear to evenings, and votes are split on whether it reads feminine or masculine.
