Ex'cla-ma'tion

by Sophia Grojsman

Coty Ex'cla-ma'tion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Sophia Grojsman. The fragrance opens with Peach, Apricot, Green, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Cedar, Amber, and Cinnamon.

Our verdict on Ex'cla-ma'tion: Statement

This 80s icon is a polarising scent, loved fiercely by some for its peachy, powdery comfort and reviled by others as a chemical mess. It's a cheap and cheerful nostalgia trip for many, but definitely not a safe blind buy today.

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for casual wear and even the office, despite some finding it a bit too strong. The sweet, powdery-fruity profile isn't typically suited for formal events or sports, though some find it a comforting bedtime scent.

About

Ex'cla-ma'tion opens with a burst of sweet, juicy peach and apricot, quickly settling into a prominent powdery embrace. Hints of heliotrope and orris root contribute to this soft, cosmetic effect, while a warm base of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood provides a comforting depth. A touch of cinnamon adds a subtle, spicy kick to the otherwise creamy, fruity aroma.
