Homme Exceptionnel (for men)

guest_ahmad ehab

very elegant and for formal evenings
more like well suited men ,very long lasting
not for everyday use but nice for regular kinda formal outings at night if that makes sense !!

Agree with "Bluecoast"'s response: feel of exclusive and stable. BUT, while Dupont Passenger is "new fast motor yacht", this perfume is "older huge super-yacht". Maybe it is even TOO over-classed making it "solid older age=50+ inverstor" style. Not old-fashioned, just "very distilled, very exclusive".
I am not fully agree with "periquito89"'s response here, this perfume is in different class, one step higher than Paco's Black XS.
Anyway it will be very classy gift for any business man at age 35+.

Very intense. Masculine, woody, dark. For the opening of an exhibition, a night at the opera. A real statement. Compare it with Dupont Passenger which is lasting longer and more intense, but somewhat similar.

Due to a couple of opinions I was curious to try this. Before I did, I saw someone wrote in a forum that exceptionnel reminds "Polo Double Black", and here that reminds "Paco Rabanne Black XS". I don´t know Polo Double Black, but the similar smell, as it was told, has to be the "mango" smell, despite this fruit doesn't appears in the composition (?) of Exceptionnel. Well, the "mango" doesn`t appears in the composition of "Black XS" either, but this Paco Rabanne really reminds that fruit, most of all in the beginning. I own Black XS and I tested Exceptionnel last friday, in a shopping mall, and in the beginning some note or combination of notes really reminds me Black XS, but less sweet and a little more mature. As the hours goes by Exceptionnel becomes more woody. I was expecting something different and remarkable. But the perfume is pleasant, somehow elegant, and at least for now I think more wearable in the evenning. Longevity seems to be so so, around 4 hours. I need to test it again. Until there, I must say I liked it.

It's a huge difference between Tester and Parfume! tester smells like fake! MUCh much better the fragrance and long lasting too (...on my skin...)

This is very similar to Paco Rabanne Black XS, and Polo Explorer.
It is sweet, but not too sweet. It doesn't last long like every body says. It is best in the spring.
