Gilles Cantuel Arsenal Women is a sweet, gourmand-leaning women's fragrance that moves from a fresh fruity opening of melon, lychee and freesia into a floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom.

What does Arsenal Women smell like?

The top is fresh and fruity with melon, lychee and freesia. The heart builds a floral body from jasmine, orange blossom, heliotrope and magnolia. In the base, vanilla, caramel and peach sweeten things, while sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli add a woody floor.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure, a night out and evenings, though daytime and business wear are also named. It is made for women. Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) and Jaguar Vision III share a close profile.
