What does Homme Exceptionnel (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and spring, while winter and summer trail behind. Daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, followed by business and evening. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, and most votes call it masculine.

The top holds lavender, mandarin orange and coffee. Towards the heart, sage, mint and ginger add a fresh, spicy edge. In the base, musk, vanilla, patchouli and amber sweeten it and settle it on a woody footing, with fruity and gourmand touches along the way.
