Arbane 26 is an earthy, citrus, woody scent created for Men and Women in 2021.Â
Review
This scent opens with almost a dirty woodiness. Blood Mandarin and Neroli blend with Sweet Almond, giving the Sandalwood an essence similar to Oud. It is earthy and a little bit dank, but you get hints of the Sweet Almond and Citruses for fleeting moments. It has an aroma almost like Petrichor, but richer and darker. It gives a vibe like you’re hiking deep in the woods after there was a heavy rain 2 days ago. There is a type of carnal sensuality, or animalistic quality to it that feels warm and intriguing. After things begin to settle, the citruses and Almond reveal themselves a little more, but they remain under the surface. The earthiness becomes less intense, but still has a lot of depth. It is not necessarily for the faint of heart, but for those who are constantly exploring the unusual. It is a fragrance for those who don’t mind when a scent takes time to evolve. Its richness makes it perfect for the Fall, Winter and early Spring months. It can be worn in an office setting if given time to dry, but feels best suited for times when you want to release your inner sensuality…..date nights, evening drinks with friends, times when you want to catch the attention of that someone special, or anytime you are simply vibing with your own energy. It is comparable to fragrances like Ormonde Man and Ormonde Woman from Ormonde Jayne or Oud Imperial from Perris Monte Carlo. TRY THIS SAMPLE AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

Notes
Though Sandalwood sits in the base of this scent, you can smell it immediately. But instead of the creamy version of Sandalwood, this scent feels dank and dark. Blood Mandarin and Neroli blend with Sweet Almond to create an aroma that is softly citrusy, with a faint hint of sweet nuttiness, but they create a rich, almost-Petrichor aroma. It creates a feeling of being in nature after heavy rains.
