What does Arcus smell like?
It opens bright and green with lime, bergamot and fig leaf. The heart adds a floral, spicy layer of cyclamen, basil, geranium and lavender. The base settles on teakwood, patchouli and amber, with lychee adding a light fruity sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with the office close behind. Khadlaj Shiyaaka (Blue) and Lattafa Ra'ed Luxe have a close profile.
