What do reviewers say about ARA(GON) and ARC?
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one just starts growing on you, in the best way. The herbal intensity isn't for those who want to smell like nothing.ARA(GON)
Most niche fragrances hedge. This one doesn't. ARC commits fully to its herbal, resinous character, bold from the start, meditative by the end. The 40% concentration means two sprays will do the job.ARC
