How does the incense note behave in this fragrance?+−
The Somalian frankincense is dry and smoky rather than heavy or "churchy." It works as a structural element that provides a bridge between the bright citrus top notes and the woody base.
Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
Exultat is marketed for both men and women. The violet notes provide a traditional floral touch, while the heavy presence of cedar and vetiver gives it a woody backbone that many find perfectly unisex.
In what season does Exultat perform best?+−
While it can be worn year-round, the community favors it during the fall and spring. The crispness of the lime and orange shines in the sun, while the woods and incense provide a cozy depth for cooler temperatures.
Does the violet make it smell like baby powder?+−
While the fragrance has a powdery accord, the inclusion of violet leaf and vetiver adds a green, earthy sharpness that prevents it from smelling like cosmetic powder or talcum.
