Unusual Fragrance
I had to do a double take on the top notes. For me, Exquisite Affair opens with a strong, green, bell pepper type of scent. I didn't get any citrus. It only lasted for a few minutes and then the peach and osmanthus came to the front. Scent at this point was quite sweet and feminine. To be honest, the peach-apricot combo smelled really good and I'd love to smell it on a woman. As the base notes came into play, the sweetness began to diminish, notwithstanding the cotton candy note. Most noticeable are the leather and caramel along with a woody accord in the background (I assume the sandalwood and patch). At this point, I'd say Exquisite Affair is unisex but still too sweet for me. There was something odd about the dry down scent - almost a metallic touch. Didn't care for it.
