About This Perfume

Think sweet powdery leather tonka cream: that is S.T. Dupont Be Exceptional. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and red ginger, moves into iris, leather and tonka bean and settles on amber, patchouli and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2017.

In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
  • Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike resinous fragrances.

Around $25.

What the S.T. Dupont picks smell like

Perfect Tobacco (2019) smells of sweet spiced tobacco smoke with rose and vanilla cream, with cinnamon and ginger on top and vanilla and oud below.

Essence Pure Pour Femme dates to 2002 and reads as creamy fruity florals with citrus sparkle; aquatic flowers, bergamot, freesia and mandarin open it before ambergris, cedar, musk and vanilla.

Cool green garden blooms on musky moss describe S.T. Dupont pour Femme, a 1998 launch with blackcurrant, galbanum and lemon at the top and musk, oakmoss and rosewood in the base.
