Christopher Sheldrake

"Arabie is a warm, sweet, and intensely spicy fragrance built around the contrast between candied citrus, dried fruits, aromatic spices, balsamic resins, and polished woods. Its opening combines candied mandarin peel with dried figs and dates, creating a dense fruit-and-sugar effect rather than a fresh citrus impression. The heart introduces cumin, nutmeg, clove, tonka bean, benzoin, and myrrh, giving the composition a richly textured, ambered character. Cedarwood and sandalwood form the woody foundation and help balance the sweetness with dryness and depth. The overall style is opulent, mysterious, resinous, and distinctly characteristic of Serge Lutens. Arabie is unisex and works particularly well for wearers who enjoy powerful fruit, spice, and balsamic fragrances."

Reviews Summary

“Arabie is generally experienced as a dense, warm, spicy, and sweet fragrance with a strong dried-fruit and resinous character. Its candied mandarin, dates, and figs are supported by cumin, nutmeg, clove, benzoin, myrrh, and woods. The composition is often regarded as richly textured, mysterious, and gourmand-leaning, with notably strong longevity and presence.”
