Other possible definitions (one of which is mention by mike1988) are:
-pleasing through beauty, fitness, or perfection <an exquisite white blossom>
-acute , intense <exquisite pain>
-having uncommon or esoteric appeal
I think, that given these possible definitions, you could use exquisite in connection to a person. However, I would more often associate with an object or some attribute of a person ("Her hair is exquisite").

Yes, as Fede said , you can use them both to describe people and objects, eg an exquisite and beautiful piece of jewellery and the woman's face was a delight to behold, exquisite and beautiful.
