St Dupont Be Exceptional: The Case for This Formula

Be Exceptional from 2020 uses saffron, cognac, and oud in a dark, warm oriental. Most houses that use saffron and oud together price the result above $100. St Dupont prices Be Exceptional below that, which is why it consistently appears in value lists for buyers who want resinous, spicy masculine fragrance without paying niche house prices. The cognac note adds a boozy, warming quality that works well in autumn and winter.

St Dupont Noir de Noir and the Rest of the Range

Noir de Noir for men is the richer, more resinous option, amber and leather over dark cedarwood. Passenger covers a lighter, slightly aquatic direction for buyers who want something more versatile for daily use. Classic is the heritage masculine: bergamot and vetiver in a clean structure. London is the lightest option, a fresh fougere suited for warm weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does St Dupont Be Exceptional smell like?

Be Exceptional opens with saffron and pink pepper, moves into a cognac and cedarwood mid-section, and dries down to amber, patchouli, and leather. The cognac note adds a boozy warmth. Best for autumn, winter, and evening use. Strong projection for the first two hours, settling into a warm skin-close base.

Be Exceptional uses oud but it is not primarily an oud fragrance. The saffron and cognac dominate the opening and mid-section. The oud contributes depth to the base rather than leading the accord. If you want a specifically oud-forward fragrance, Noir de Noir is a better choice within the St Dupont range.

St Dupont fragrances at PerfumeBox are typically priced from $35 to $90. Free US shipping on orders over $59. Be Exceptional is the strongest formula in the catalog for the price.

Be Exceptional typically lasts 8 to 10 hours on skin. The saffron and cognac fade first, leaving the amber and patchouli base close to the skin for the remainder. Projection is strong for the first two hours, then softens significantly.
