Arquiste - A Grove by the Sea

Picture a sunny island in the Adriatic, a small harbor with stone houses and fig and olive groves, surrounded by verdant hills of Mediterranean pine trees, strings of cypress and wild herbs throughout. A window into an aromatic landscape of Adriatic fig, dried pine needles, and crushed olives.

    No Ocean
    Was expecting something misty and pure smelling, but what I got was something that smells intense and has a chemically smell on front.

    Different than I expected
    It definitely leans more masculine than I expected. Not overly so, but kind of verging on it. If you’re a woman you have to be okay with wearing something that has no overtly “feminine” elements to it. That being said, I love the opening. The first 30 minutes to an hour or so definitely matches up to the notes and the description of the fragrance. As it settles more though, the scent becomes a little less complex and dries down to something I felt I had smelled before but couldn’t put my finger on until I saw reviews elsewhere that said it smells like Abercrombie stores from back in the day. I’ll probably give this one to my husband and hope he doesn’t make that association! This one would be full bottle worthy if the opening lasted longer or the dry down was at least a bit closer, but alas I do not want to smell like an Abercrombie store as a 31 year old woman.
