Arabie
Eau de Parfum
by Serge Lutens



The Scoop
Full of dark drama and positively loaded with exotic spices and fruits, Arabie is as rich in character as it is in ingredients. Intensely moving and spinning out of control, this is a tempest in a bottle, a gorgeous devil swirling with dried figs and dates, spiced with nutmeg and cloves, and sweetened with resins and candied mandarin peel. Cedar and sandalwood bravely attempt to anchor this unruly and unexpected perfume, but its nature is far too wild to be tamed. If you love the idea of a gloriously honeyed, decadent fragrance that features the exotic spices and rich, dried fruits of a kitchen rather than the frou frou flowers of a field, you’re sure to fall in love at first sniff with Arabie.

I am an SL fan, Daim Blonde being my fav at the moment. I wanted to love this but it reminds me exactly of my Father's pipe growing up, not in a good way, sadly. Maybe on the right man I would like it better? but it's sweetness tells me no. Also, I'm going to revisit in the depths of winter - perhaps I'll appreciate a pipe by then. Amazing sillage though.

For some reason I get cheap head shop. Anyone remember those conical little incense that were about half an inch high and came in a bevvy of colors and scents ( althoug they seemed to all smell alike ) at least the ones my older sister would get. This is NO WAY for me.

This is the most exotic perfume I've ever tried. Initially it's pure Christmas pudding on me, but thankfully after half an hour dries down to a wonderful mixture of spices, a little heavy on the clove perhaps. I couldn't wear this regularly, but this really is an exuberant scent.

All I get is nutmeg and clove, no intricate composition of any other sort. It also has no staying power for the price! I expected more out of Serge Lutens.

Thought I would love this and couldn't figure out why I didn't. Then I reviewed the notes again and realized that it has myrh (blaggh...not a scent for me after I tried AG Myrh from the Les Orientalists line). I may try to mix my sample with an incense to see if I like it more. I imagine that this will be good for those who like myrh. Just not good with my chemistry.

I so agree with the comments about it being superior to Ambre Sultan. On my skin, it smells like a rich spice milled drink that lingers. I am so in love with this. Bravo, the creator of the scent is definitely the King of scent!

Close your eyes and you're a languising in a harem somewhere (good languishing). I love the warm sweet smells of the Arabian types of smells (woody, sweet, spicey), and this one is divine. The drydown is sweet and woody; the top notes (to me) are more spicey. I think we fragrance buffs/nuts/addicts should nominate Christopher Sheldrake for the Nobel Prize for Scent -- his stuff is ALWAYS perfection -- complex, tasteful, evocative.

Gotsta love the irony...bought a bottle of ambre sultan & scored a free sample of arabie. Turns out I should have gone the other way around. Bugger. I loves arabie...it's a sophisticated version of shiseido's basala.

Arabie is an interesting smell. Very spicy with warm undertones. Its not my most favorite, but I like it. Excellent staying power.

A rich sweet timeless perfume for men and women. It blends with your own skins chemistry and lingers and lasts and each natural note can be detected. Serge Lutens is a master perfumer, and only a true fragrance afficianado will appreciate this masters creation.Another classic Lutens that will live forever~! If you love fragrances, then wear the best! You're worth it! It is truly a liquid emotion!

I love the Serge Lutens line. This particular scent is not one of my favorites though. If you feel like smelling sweet, then use this one. It is long lasting I must say, as are most of the SL fragrances.

This is one of SL's best. I bought a bottle once. Then I decided to get Ambre Sultan instead of another bottle of Arabie. I soon regretted it. Although Ambre Sultan is great, Arabie is better. A great, different oriental. Try it. :)
