Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Exceptional Because You Are
Seriously, the name is a boldfaced lie. This isn't 'Exceptional Because You Are'; it's 'Generic Because You Are'. A forgettable, soapy floral that's aggressively average. It exists, sure, but why bother?

Our Verdict - Royal
If you're after a straight-up rose, Alrehab's hit the nail on the head. It's affordable, uncomplicated, and exactly what it says on the tin. No surprises, just pure floral simplicity.

Exceptional Because You Are
Seasons
Best For:
Spring
Summer
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Best For:
Office
Casual
Also Works:
Sport
Its weak projection and short longevity make it largely inoffensive, hence suitable for office wear where strong scents are a no-go. However, its generic, soapy floral nature and lack of depth mean it's not a go-to for dates or formal events, though it's perfectly fine for casual, everyday use.
