Evasion - Digo de Havane

L'Arc · 2013

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

L'Arc Evasion - Digo de Havane is a sweet, spicy men's fragrance that suits fall and winter evenings. It opens with cinnamon, tobacco and lavender. In the heart, dark chocolate and honey give it a gourmand sweetness, and in the base vanilla and cedar soften it onto a woody footing. The overall impression is warm and oriental, with the floral and fruity touches staying in the background. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and few choose summer. It is worn mostly for evenings and nights out, and the masculine vote leads.

Argentium - Halo de Lune

7.8

L'Arc · 2017

Citrus · Green · Fruity

L'Arc Argentium - Halo de Lune is a unisex fragrance that sets citrus and spice against a green freshness over a resinous, woody base; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so it can't be said which time of year suits it best. It is written for men and women alike. It opens with orange, artemisia and cardamom, which give a fresh, slightly bitter and spicy start. In the heart, oud, nutmeg and saffron add a warm, resinous depth. The base of musk, sandalwood and amberwood settles into a soft, woody finish.

Balade - Tiaré de Tahiti

6.5

L'Arc · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

L'Arc Balade - Tiaré de Tahiti is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that links the brightness of tangerine and rose to tiaré and jasmine. It opens with tangerine, rose and honeysuckle in a bright, citrusy start. In the heart, peony, tiaré and jasmine bring the floral side forward, with fruity and sweet tones alongside. Musk, patchouli and sandalwood settle the base into a woody, powdery and creamy ground. The overall impression is a fresh floral bouquet with a light gourmand touch. Burberry London for Women and Benefit Ring my Bella have a close profile.

Traversée - Cèdre d'Ifrane

7.0

L'Arc · 2013

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

L'Arc Traversée - Cèdre d'Ifrane is a smoky, woody scent built on birch, cedar and leather, classed as masculine and best suited to evenings. It begins with birch, moves into cedar and violet at the heart, and settles on leather, musk and ambergris. The accords run between sweet and spicy, with woody, resinous, earthy and smoky layers over them. The animal and leathery sides give it a dark, rough character. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Voters pick it mostly for evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Naomi Goodsir Corpus Equus and Histoires de Parfums 1740 have a close profile.

Calda

8.4

L'Arc · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

L'Arc Calda is a unisex fragrance that pairs the bright fruit of blackcurrant, champagne, strawberry and lychee with a fresh, sweet character. It opens with blackcurrant, champagne, strawberry and lychee, a fruity and airy start. In the heart, lily of the valley and jasmine add a soft floral touch, and the scent turns gentler and slightly powdery. The base of amber, vanilla, musk and cotton candy settles it into a creamy, distinctly sweet finish. The move from bright fruit to sugary warmth gives the fragrance its character, and it should suit anyone who likes fresh, floral and sweet blends. Its profile is close to Lattafa Taraf and Parfums de Marly Meliora.
