Quality control in perfumery: how fragrances are tested

In 2004, Ted Lapidus introduced Excited — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the green and aromatic families. The talent of Gerard Anthony is written all over this bottle. Created as part of the Ted collection. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Brand country — France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Excited unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Ted Lapidus is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Wood, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Aromatic, Earthy / Mossy and Green. From a family perspective the composition sits in Aromatic and Green.
As soon as the fragrance opens you catch invigorating sunny opening notes: Kumquat and Pine.
At the core of development you sense Cyclamen, Jasmine and Patchouli carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence High suggests confident staying power.
Taken together Excited sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
