Eau de Toilette

Arran After the Rain Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy women's scent that leans towards leisure and everyday wear. It opens with mandarin orange, lemon and lime, bright and clean. Rose adds a soft floral note in the heart, while sandalwood, musk and precious woods settle it onto a woody base. Aquatic and green facets keep it fresh, with a spicy touch staying in the background. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. Most voters choose it for leisure, daily wear and the office, and far fewer for evening or nights out. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Penhaligon's Quercus and Floris Cefiro have a close profile.

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Arran Lochranza / Bay Citrus is a fresh, green and woody men's scent that opens on citrus, deepens with patchouli, laurel and aniseed, and dries down on cedar and vetiver. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the small number of ratings makes these figures tentative. It is classed as a men's fragrance, and there is no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion. The citrus notes bring an immediate freshness. In the heart, patchouli, laurel and aniseed add a spicy, green and earthy character. Cedar and vetiver form a woody base underneath. Fresh and earthy accords come through together. Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette and Ferrari Vetiver Essence have a close profile.
