What does Arso smell like?

It reads as a single whole: a leathery, resinous backbone with the green, woody tones of cedar leaf alongside. Frankincense adds a smoky, spicy edge, while the sweet accord softens the firmness and an earthy depth stays in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and leisure the most mentioned uses, and summer rarely chosen. Most voters find it masculine. Bottega Veneta pour Homme Parfum and Atelier des Ors Cuir Sacré have a close profile.
