It is by Serge Lutens, so I have come to expect sweetness and benzoin. Many spices, well-blended, and lots of dried and candied fruits. Figs, dates, nutmeg, cumin, and cardamom feature...

Indeed smells like Muslim Market, fruits and spice which made me thinking of kebab (kebab is not muslim food but I just think of it when I smell this), I was initially looking for Rahat Lokoum but...

Arabie! Oh how I wish I was daring enough to wear you in public! This is Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, and Yemen. This is a spice market, this is my firends' kitchen -I swear...

Even the faintest whiff of Arabie sends me to places I haven’t visited since I was a little girl of 3 or 4 years old, back to the Muslim quarter in ancient Jerusalem. My parents used to take me...

What an amazing morphing this little deva has accomplished. When first applied, she was all woods and smoke. Dark, mysterious, and somewhat gloomy. Then she became this sweet, elegant, fruity...

My husband says it smells like cat urine (!) but I have *no* idea where he gets that from. I think it's the bright yellow of the juice that gets him thinking that, and then he doesn't care for the...

Arabie is sweet, heavy, and quite lovely. I don't get curry or the like--this is mulled wine and dried fruit to me. It isn't my idea of an Arabian market, which would have a lot of different...

I've read some reviews, and know some really, really, <i>really</i> like this. Now when I really, really, really like something, I'm hoping to heaven that the whole world isn't wearing it. It's...

SL, who has an Exclusive range and an Export range, should have a "Smoke & Ashes" range as well, which would include Fumerie Turque, Gris Clair, Ambre Sultan and Arabie. Arabie is the scent of an...

*fanning self* --- This fragrance makes me swoon, but not in a good way. Exactly replicated the scent that IDOLE turned out to be on my skin -- like A-1 steak sauce. Thankfully, there's no weird...

I also got Indian food spices, which wouldn't be a bad thing necessarily, but to me Arabie smelled like the dirty, sweaty t-shirt of a guy who had been cooking Indian food all day, which is just...

Curry and sweat. Lots of both. I didn't get any of the sweetness or other notes--just Indian restaurant spices in gag-worthy amounts. I thought it smelled horrible in the bottle, but the...

Oh. My. God. Arabie. What a wonderful surprise. It's taken me awhile (as I understand has been the case with many others) to really appreciate Serge Lutens. I am not going to bother...

I have tried to understand people not liking this. My thought is that the spice/curry accord could be terrifying and dreadful to some. Now, I have sympathy for that viewpoint. Usually cumin in...

How can anybody find this scent to be anything less than magnificent? I suppose it has to do with skin chemistry and the way each one of us perceives different scents.<br> <br> I must say, just a...

This smells like an Indian dinner plus a dessert of dried fruit. Not a bad thing in itself, but not how I want to smell. Too spicy and overpowering for me. I'm so glad that I can cross this SL off...

Arabie is colors. Exuberant, warm golds, bronzes, copper. Rich shades of oranges, browns, yellows. It's the sheer, unadulterated joy of standing in the middle of an Arabic market with spice...
