    This smells like an old medicine chest mixed with dusty dried fruit and spices.<br><br>It's very striking in the same way that Sophia Loren is not beautiful, but she's definitely striking :) If...

    When first applied, Arabie produces the most wonderful rush... a whirl of spices, with cinnamon quite prominent (at least on my skin). Daring, original, wonderful. Later, though, it dries down into...

    An after-hours matador of a fragrance, all pomade and slick, with ingratiating manners, a small black bigota, and his breath, Lord, his breath. The breath that conjoins with his flashy cologne,...

    It really does smell like Irish/English Christmas -- flaming Christmas Pud and iced Christmas fruitcake with all the trimmings. It also smells remarkably similar to how Pier One smells at Christmas...

    agree with Mayra: this is an overwhelming stinker of a perfume. It's like a 60's headshop on acid, and if you've never had a bad trip try this perfume to see what it's like. It's a mish-mosh of...

    There was a time when I sniffed this and thought it smelled too savory - like an Indian mixed pickle. Then, later, when sniffing Ambre Sultan, I marveled at how similar AS and Arabie were. Today,...

    My first Serge Lutens experience. <br> I like this, and I will probably buy at least a mini or a decant when my samples are gone. <br> Warm, lovely, interesting, complex, less in-your-face than...

    Like all SL fragrances I have tried, this is complex and interesting. Unfortunately, I was instantly repelled by Arabie as soon as I got my nose anywhere near it. I get the overwhelming smell of...

    Smells identical to an Indian restaurant upon application; I detect cardamom, cumin, some sort of dried fruits, and possibly a hint of coconut milk. Sweetens upon drydown. Exotic and interesting....

    I like this a lot, although it's not something I'd wear often. Strong and spicy, I get some candied orange peel from it. This would be a great fall/winter fragrance to wear on occasion. This makes...

    I get fruit compote with Arabie and it's perfect for winter or for feeling somewhat exotic. With dried fruit, warmed with some wine or juice, spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, it is very rich. ...

    Well! If you want the perfume version of the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul, here it is. And I mean a perfectly accurate version - this is what it smells like! It's not something that I could ever...

    Not my kind of fragrance but I have to admit the genious who compose this fragrance. First, Arabie opens with notes of candied orange peel, the kind that I used to enjoy when I was a kid, and a...

    An absolute holy grail scent for me! Warm, spicy, and a little foody. I can see how this is not a scent for everyone, or every occasion, but it's just magical on my skin. Lasting power is wonderful...

    Oh this is just awful on me! All I get is cumin. Nothing else. I expected it to fade to a nice dry down but no, 3 hours after applying its cumin plain and simple. This might be nice on a man...

    Nasty. Pungent cumin and smoke die down to a dirty spice and body odor smell. I imagine someone might smell like this after eating from a streetside curry stand in Bangladesh, then taking a dip...

    I didn't like this - I tried this several times and didn't like it. It reminded me of a certain Ayurvedic tea (for women) which to me smells of cinnamon and algae (sushi Christmas cookies?). But...
