Arcanum
Arcanum by Navitus Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cinnamon, coconut and frankincense, moves into labdanum, osmanthus and oud and dries down to amberwood, vanilla and tonka bean. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
