Exceptional Because You Are

Exceptional Parfums Exceptional Because You Are is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Exceptional Because You Are settles into a heart of Floral. Exceptional Parfums's Exceptional Because You Are carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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?

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.

About

It's a floral through and through, but not in a luscious, captivating way. Expect a clean, almost sterile blend of indistinct white and pink florals, frequently compared to laundry detergent or shampoo. There's an underlying dry, woody, and sometimes even metallic or pencil shaving note that gives it a strangely astringent edge, clinging to the skin before quickly fading.
