Arabie
Arabie by Serge Lutens is an unisex eau de parfum from 1997 in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, moves into dates, fig and cumin and dries down to cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Dates Sticky, jammy dried fruit. The backbone of Middle Eastern gourmands.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
