Our verdict on Versace Essence Exciting: Acquired

This 'Exciting Essence' is anything but; it's a perplexing floral green that leaves some cold and others nostalgic for its unique blend. Don't expect fireworks, but a surprisingly divisive fresh scent that's either 'nice' or 'nothing exciting'.

About

Opens with a perplexing hit of green notes and a ghost of grapefruit, swiftly moving into a prominent heart of lily and freesia, bolstered by a soft, almost 'gone bad' peach. The drydown settles into a musky cedar, providing a grounding counterpoint to the fleeting florals. It's a clean, green floral with a peculiar fruity twist.
