Maria Candida Gentile Exultat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Maria Candida Gentile. Exultat opens with Orange, Bitter Orange, Lime, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Violet and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Virginia Cedarwood, and Vetiver. Maria Candida Gentile's Exultat carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a truly unique incense fragrance, beautifully blended and a bit of a chameleon. Some find it comforting and sweet, others churchy and austere. Definitely one to try for yourself.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it appropriate for various settings, though its unique character might be a bit much for a conservative office. The sophisticated blend, often perceived as intimate and elegant, makes it excellent for dates, and it's versatile enough for casual wear in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Exultat opens with a vibrant, almost peppery burst of bitter orange and frankincense, creating an intriguing spicy-citrus lift. This quickly settles into a heart of powdery, candied violet, which some perceive as sweet and almost gourmand, while others find it cool and introspective. The base introduces a dry, reflective cedar and a soft vetiver, grounding the composition in a subtle woody depth that lingers beautifully on the skin.
