This is from a short text about a luxury restaurant in Belgium. It's talking about the chef's special touch but I can't seem to phrase it in English...
Au XXXX (restaurant), YYYYY (chef) offre un répertoire gustatif très riche qui laisse aussi place à des créations à base de purs produits du terroir, auxquels il donne une signature enivrante et personnelle avec un grand raffinement et une belle profondeur.
Thanks!!

exhilarating signature
I assume that you have already rejected "intoxicating signature"; but many synonyms of "intoxicating" might work here: exciting, dramatic, inspiring; see the link in "Reference."
