A delicious, fruity-spicy scent, that I must admit sometimes smells like a World Market or a Pier One around Christmas.

Beautiful scent but completely unwearable as a perfume, which kind of defeats the point of having it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful, almost intoxicating scent and Iove smelling it, but it’s...

The composition of Arabie according to the pamphlet I received: Cedar, candied mandarin peel, dried figs, brown dates and musk.

Darn it, my fruit-amplifying skin did it to this one too--too much orange. I love gourmand fragrances and thought this would be awesome on me.

Hmm. I had high hopes for Arabie; I love gourmand fragrances. It goes on smelling strong, aggressive and sweet, just a bit spicy, and makes me feel as if I am being pelted with preserved fruit. ...

If you like the prunes-stewed-in-cumin thing, Rochas Femme has it going on for a much more reasonable price.

I don't wear many fragrances - I tend to have two or three and stick with them for years. And Arabie will be one of those for years. While others pick up on the fruity/spicy aspect, what my skin...

I must confess that Arabie was all Yankee Candle on me. As I took that first whiff of it those were the first 2 words that came to mind. It smelled very much like one of their pumpkin spice/autumn...

Ok, from the description, I thought this would be right up my fragrance alley. Exotic, spicy, sweet, full of Arabian dreams and magic carpet rides. Bought a decant on ebay, sprayed it on, and was...

Yes, it's a bakery item. Gorgeous, lovely. I get gingerbread from this, though I can see the rum-cake and fruit cake notes others have mentioned. And I do love it, but I won't be paying over $100...

What an amazing scent. Smoke, leather, cherry, almond...all this happens in dazzling array, then it settles into a spice market, simmering on my skin all day. Delicious.

*sniff, sniff* christmas cake. Yes, christmas cake - candied citrus peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried fruit - sultanas and dates to be precise. For my tastes, this starts off too spicy, and it ends up...

This maybe the strangest scent I have ever tested! I received a sample from a lovely swapper. First and foremost, it makes me hungry! An Indian restaurant, A spice market then as others have said...

Blech! I'm sniffing at it, trying to enjoy the spices but keep getting choked by the nasty fatty sugary slime. Its as if a snail crawled on my arm and left a trail of stale buñuelos.

This would be wonderful -- for someone else. I am reminded of mincemeat pie or plum pudding. I can smell dried fruits, dark honey, citron, spices, a dash of vanilla, and maybe even some brandy. ...

I love the way Arabie opens and settles on my skin, initially with cedar and sandalwood resins whafting its smoky incesy glory; at which point Arabie is dark and magical; smoky and dripping with...
