Exceptional Because You Are for Men is a fresh, lightly sweet men's fragrance led by citrus and aquatic accords. The top notes are violet, bergamot and cardamom, with bergamot giving a bright citrus feel. Ozone, juniper berry and plum sit in the heart, where plum carries the fruity, sweet side. The base of vetiver, frankincense, musk and sandalwood settles the scent on a woody footing. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it suits anyone who wants a light scent that stays close to the skin. It is marketed as a men's fragrance. Rasasi Hawas for Him and Nautica Nautica Blue (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Exceptional Simply Belle is a fresh, citrusy and floral women's fragrance, with green and aquatic touches and a light fruity note. It opens with violet leaf, orange and peach, which give a bright, green and fruity start. In the heart, water lily, heliotrope, lily of the valley and jasmine bring in the floral side. The base of musk, benzoin and vanilla sweetens it slightly and leaves a soft, warm finish. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Its light, fresh character suits everyday wear. Esprit Urban Nature for Women and La Rive Aqua Woman have a close profile.
