Exotic (2008)
by Boadicea the Victorious

smells like bunch of tender, dark green leaves studded with sugar crystals. it's essentially a "Green" scent. is transparent and watery, but not weak. has pretty good longevity. nothing out of the ordinary & definitely not Exotic, yet, it's beautiful in what it has ot offer.. admirers of green scents have one more scent to sample. and oh yes, nothing exactly feminine about it.

Exotic - aromatic blackcurrant over a conventional base

Exotic starts off promisingly with sharp and mentholated blackcurrant (aka 'a bunch of synthetic fruity aromachemicals') that slowly calms down to a fairly traditional creamy but airy melange of patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, and just a pinch of vetiver with some dirty musk. A bit chocolate-y in texture, but comes off as synthetic. Exotic lacks depth and isn't lush at all as the name might suggest. Still, it's one of the better scents in this disappointing line.

Sills well, great longevity.

List of notes: Musk, black truffle, ylang-ylang, bergamot, blackcurrant, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla tears, sandalwood
