What does Arber smell like?

It opens with orange, lime and geranium, a bright and lively start. In the heart, mint, coriander and watermelon turn that freshness spicy and slightly juicy. The base of sandalwood, vetiver and tonka bean settles it into a woody, earthy, softly sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most. Emeshel Y and The Body Shop Activist (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
