A long shot

The review
A long shot. That is where Excite lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Acqua di Gioia.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Gioia's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $79 per 100ml it costs 17% less than Acqua di Gioia — the 4th cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: mint, lemon and pink pepper up top, peony and jasmine in the middle, cedar, labdanum and brown sugar underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia.
