Ex`cla-ma`tion (for women)

guest_mseidoom

Brought this yesterday because Tresor by Lancome isn't the same anymore.

This was the first perfume my sister and I ever owned, when we were just kids. It's... awful, to put it nicely. Especially if you wear too much off it. So potent and... I don't even know how to describe it really. But it does take me back to playing dress up as young children and being yelled at for piling on the Ex`cla-ma`tion. Not something I'd wear anymore, but at the time, we thought it smelled beautiful. =)

I actually saw this in a drug store recently and wondered if it was still being made or just old stock they were trying to get rid of. Will forever remind me of being 12 and glossy pink, white and black ads in Teen magazine. Pretty much everyone had it then! Reminds me as well of Love's Baby Soft, Jordache's Look, Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth and Friday!

The smell and the packaging are like the price tag....cheap, not a favourite of mine

Fruity soapy slightly artificial scent, that goes so well with vinyl records, washed out denim and mini skirts.

This is interesting how some fragrances stick to the particular times, trends and simply stay there, obeying the rules, without having a life of their own.

They reflect the current reality, capture the essence of it, but somehow they lack personality.

Coty Exclamation will always stay in the disco times, being so Modern Takling and Bad Boys Blue like.

When you think 80's you think big shoulder pads and frizzy hair....but back then women were proud of being women and the prefumes were to express that womanhood!! My opinon is that flowers are one of the main ingredient of a fragrance and here ...it's an explosion of floral smells....altough it starts with a breeze of something fresh and fruity, emphasis on the the peach-apricot ...then you get bombarded by all kinds of ultra feminine floral infusions like the overlly popular jasmine-rose combination , lily-of-the-valley makes its presence very quick, but does not overshadow the heliotrope-orris root greeness.
Now what screams 80's is the heavy drydown...you can sense a 80's perfume by it's drydown!This is the same...strong tree essences...sandalwood, cedar mixed with soft vanilla and milky musk to balance a more pinchy cinammon ...that blended with the remains of that crushed floral is trully representative for the loud and noisy 80's...in a few words...this fragrance is like that high pitched amalgam!

An old throwback perfume! Wow! I forgot all about exclamation.But I used to like it and every girl in my school had it! I am going to have to track one of these down and buy it so I can show my daughters the most popular perfume when I was coming up.

I used to have this fragrance when I was 16 or 17 years old and every time I see this perfume It Reminds me of my father
because my Father hates this perfume so much!!! hahahaha he said it was to strong and gave him allergy hahaha so I had to throw the perfume away and since then I never Bought it again lol.

It was absolutely "disco" scent in my life when i was 19 or so. My friend brought me it from Spain. My bottle was with the red stripe, I don't know if they are the same. I totally agree that it is a nice scent for long legged, giggling, vivacious girls at the disco.

alicektn

This is so "disco"!

My aunt had brought me this many years ago. I liked it and it drew many copliments back then.

I still have the bottle with some juice in it.Unfortunately I can't wear it because it has changed with time.

Chatnoir

Yuck! This was given to me when I was in junior high or high school. It was very popular, so I wore it, but I was hyper-sensitive to scents in those days, and this cheap, strong juice did a number on me. Why do people insist on giving young girls horrid, cheap perfume?

Malegria

Funny, hyper, fruity.A delicious, slightly unnatural burst of raspberries and peaches.For long legged, giggling,vivacious girls.The spicy dry down is good - because you still can feel the sweet and sour berries after hours!
I think that it is a nice teenage perfume for a good price too.

snobuni77

Yup this WAS the Bomb back in the day.
LOL.
I saw Debbie Gibsons "Electric Youth" perfume on Ebay the other day & I couldn't believe it "LOL".w Remember it had that hot pink coil in the center of the bottle.
Funny Stuff!!

Oh, exclamation... This perfume was/is still very popular here in my country. Coty has affordable prices and nice aromas,although nothing spectacular. Almost every gril in my high school wore that or Chanson d' Eau, also by Coty, sooo it might be a nice scent, but I grew from loving it to hating it.

tessture

Gentle and soft without being babyish, though I can see it going powdery on certain chemistry. I can also see easy overdose on this one as it has the tiniest tendency towards cloying, so be cautious in application. Otherwise, it's almost an edible scent. Not gourmand, but vanilla-peachy with sandal undertones. And the price is pretty unbeatable.

I had this perfume years ago! Accidentaly found it on this site. Don't even remember how does it smell, but these are memories! )

mymlan

I had this one approximately 25 years ago as a fresh floral alternative to Lou Lou, which was my signature fragrance at that time. I also had coty l'Aimant for a while, which I cant find here on Fragrantica. I remember I liked Coty's fragrances and also that the price was good for a young girls wallet.

elaida_00

i remember this one..i think i was in high school when i had this one ..COTY was sooo new to us then but remember the youg spirit that this perfume was bringing..very nice

tangledvines

LOL
I can't believe this perfume is up for review! It takes me waaaaaay back to my high school years when this perfume was so popular. My best friend would practically bathe herself in this scent and then we would go out on double dates together. I recall my boyfriend literally gagging when she got in the car. :D Ha ha!

It was a strong smelling perfume...or maybe not, could of been just my friend dousing in it. But I remember liking it back then. I would never wear it now!

perryforever

I used to like this perfume as a teenager. Very sweet and floral, nothing too overpowering or sexy about it. It was cheap and I used to get it for Christmas. I can still recall the smell. I'd not wear it now.

golden

This was one of my first perfumes. Oh my god!!!!! lol.I honestly can't remember how it smells?
I would like to try it though for old times sake.

sjanira

OH Wow! I forgot about this one! I'm laughing as I write this. I was a really young girl when I was given this. I don't really remember who gave it to me but remember loving it.

sonrise

Bought a very small bottle of this, and recieved a great many compliments, also it stays with you for quite a while.

Allegra

This is yet another 80's fragrance of which I must ask the inevitable question "are they still making and selling it?" :) Because it was very popular (among young girls mostly) so many years ago that it's quite unbelievable the scent is still around. Wouldn't buy it anymore, though...

tigrrrlily

I dont recall a girl in 8th grade who DIDN't reek of this, much like Coco76.*shudders* If this is on this site, is Love's Baby Soft as well??

coco76

lol, don't worry eccentric....i can't believe its on here either!! now if they could add Alyssa Ashley Musk...

coco76

i don't think words can even express how much i hate this 'perfume'...i don't think it should be qualified as such, it should just be considered some kind of weapon...so offensive and awful! granted, i might feel that way because all the 'mean girls' wore this in grade eight, and not just a little....a whole bottles worth EACH, everyday. try being stuck on a bus for twelve hours with them on a trip to quebec...shudder
exclamation is in my top three of most hated, along with givenchy hot couture, and le baiser du dragon. all three are guaranteed to give me a headache in about three seconds flat.
