What does Café Arabesque smell like?

Brazilian coffee, Siam Benzoin resinoid and New Caledonian sandalwood read together. The sweet, gourmand side leads, while spicy and resinous touches deepen it without letting it turn dry. The sandalwood lays a creamy, soft woody base underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter; it sits comfortably in the evening, on nights out and in leisure time, and stays in the background in summer. Voters split between masculine, modern and feminine, so it doesn't lean firmly to one side.
