Oriflame Excite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Marie Salamagne. Excite opens with Quince, Bergamot, Melon, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Tarragon, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Oriflame's Excite carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, clean aquatic vibe that punches well above its weight. It's a shame it's not more widely available, because it’s a seriously solid offering that consistently gets compliments and performs admirably for the price.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Excite kicks off with a juicy burst of melon and sharp bergamot, softened by a hint of wormwood. It quickly dives into a marine heart, where salty sea water mingles with the sophisticated bitterness of tea and a touch of tarragon. The dry-down is a clean, earthy finish of oakmoss, subtle musk, and dry cedar, holding the aquatic freshness in place without getting bogged down.
