Too strong, not feminine enough for me

I really like the woody, earthy vanilla this dries down into. Its subtle and soft.

This. This is sexy and smooth and exotic. When I first smelled this I knew I needed more. I get comments everywhere I go

Sophisticated & strong!

Too much of a menly smell

I knew I loved this scent but it wasn’t till I noticed that I was only using it sparingly on the weekends that I realized how much. I wasn’t spraying randomly I was trying to conserve it. Definitely dropping the $195 for the full bottle.

This is almost a perfect scent for me but its has a slight roughness to it mixed with a sweetness. Im not sure if i love the roughness or if it misses the mark for me. But i genuinely believe this was almost perfect. Idk just something about it that doesnt make me want to FULLY commit. ALMOST THOUGH lol! Also this goes for $195 on the company's websites 🤯

Smelled too strong of one thing

Nice fresh compliment getter!!

This is what I call my vanilla perfume. It smells like vanilla mostly. Maybe some woodsy notes thrown in there. This scent could be unisex, I feel. It smells great on me but I think a man could also pull it off. It’s a great scent to wear when the weather is cold.

I chose this scent, based on the reviews that say it is very sweet. I disagree, although it eventually wears to a dry vanilla scent. Initially it is very strong (tickles my nose) with a heavy musk. I like it more each time I wear it.

Was hoping for a complex scent on the earthy/spicy side, but this is very mellow and sweet.

It smelled like tobacco and dust on me

I like it, it's sweet and you can smell the vanilla. Normally I don't like vanilla scented things but this one is nice.

Far too sweet

It just didn’t mix well with my body chemistry

This is a gourmand scent for me. Very lovely vanilla scent... smells great on me AND on my husband!! Love love love it!!!

Loved the overall scent-how vanilla was present but not in a cloying, overbearing manner. Lasted a decent amount of the day for me, and my wife really liked the smell of it.

Terrible smell

opening is definitely a bit bitter and citrusy, it soon mellows to a lovely dry vanilla. doesn't project a lot, just a nice scent bubble, but very nice fragrance.

Heavenly!! Using sparingly as I will have to buy full size when this vial is gone!

It’s strong and not in a good way.

It was a pleasant smell not to strong i woukd probably use it during the end of summer into early fall the fragrance lasted a long time as well :)

When I first spray it on it seems a little musky and herb like, but after about 30 seconds it changes to a warm sweet scent...perfect for fall and winter!

I love this scent and I will be purchasing the full sized version. My boyfriend wasn't too fond of it, though. He prefers sweeter smells and this was a little bit spicy and musky. I still love it though.

A great vanilla scent, nice and warm.

If you love vanilla, then you’ll love this one. Great for every season. A nice twist on a classic...

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent! However it doesn’t last all day. I usually have to reapply in the late afternoon

Nope, nope, nope

Like a summer’s breeze. Makes you feel fine. Going through the jasmine in your mind.

I liked this one a lot

By far, besides Prada Candy, this is my FAVORITE scent! It’s also now my signature scent!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic niche fragrance. The opening of pink peppercorn is really quite amazing. I can still detect this after wearing it for 9+ hours. At the very end of its life it dries down to almost pure vanilla. Love it.

I love the layers of sweetness and mild, clean smokiness in this scent. Vanilla is definitely the key player, but it's not a young, sweet vanilla. The woody, smoky notes really ground the vanilla without overwhelming it. Will absolutely buy again.

meh. no memory of this one tbh

My new favorite. This is sexy with hints of a smokiness. I am obsessed. There is nothing that compares. It is my new go to.

I love this scent! Woody, like in a carpenter's workshop all day or a new house that's being build. I thought about the architect standing with the blue prints in hand, wearing a bright warm scent (hints of vanilla and lemon peel) watching his or her new design going up. Great unisex scent. I would have give 5 stars, but this scent lasted about 2 hours and was gone. I sprayed my skin and my clothes just to see if one would last longer. Nope. Too bad. I think I will need to layer it with something else in order to have a lasting scent or just reapply throughout the day.

Scentbird has the WORST customer service. They shipped the product to the wrong address. Scentbird promised to send replacement on them. Still no product or refund!

I dig the feminine outdoorsy scent of vanilla and the woods. It’s probably how Arwen smelled in Lord of the Rings.

This is probably the best smelling cologne I’ve used in a long time. I’m definitely going to be buying the actual bottle. It does smell rather sweet though so if you’re turned off by that don’t buy it. Smells a lot like amber and musk with a hint of sweetness. My wife loves it.

Love, love, love this scent! It’s rather sweet. Not like Bath&Body works lotion but sweet non the less. I spray one squirt of this and layer it with one squirt of Rag N Bone ‘Oddity’. The combination is great. One is sweet, the other is musky. Great for fall!

It have a very strong, sweet smell. It definitely lasts a while, but it is a little too overwhelming.

Ok. I have a confession. I love smelling like I just left my boyfriend's house and used his cologne before stepping out. I love men's scents but with a touch of warmth and sweetness (just a touch!) This scent....THIS SCENT. Ooh it made me purrrr. It smells RICH. This is a wealthy scent. It smells like money is not a concern for you. It was perfectly androgynous. PERFECTLY. Its warm and has distinct rummy, smoky, muskiness to it which was PERFECT for ushering the crisp cool fall months, with my tweeds and turtlenecks and booties. Im considering maybe a bottle, or maybe adding it again to my queue. I love it. It really blended seamlessly with my personality, and that is what scents should do.

SUPER SENSUAL, SEXY, INTRIGUING, CAPTIVATING & SHALL LEAVE EVERYONE YOU PASS ENAMORED!!!!! THEY'LL KNOW YOU'VE ARRIVED!!!!!!

Pleased with how this turned out, I worked about it being too old/bar/smoke smelling. It's feminine and the vanilla is just right (this is my first perfume with vanilla in it in 10 years). It is sophisticated and the longest lasting scent I've received from Scentbird yet. This is what I signed up for, it's like a nice warm vanilla latte.

Didn't like the smell it like an older person scent

I love the citrusy opening notes, but they dont last long. After about 10 minutes the scent gets very "cool" and woody rather than warm and woody... it's kind of dry. Then it turns sweet with amber and vanilla and I love it again. That seems to last the longest on me.

This is not a scent I'd normally even pick up at the store and try, I go for the more girly, fruity or vanilla scents. I was pleasantly surprised at this perfect for fall parfum. It opened up with the citrus, then shifted to a woodsy, vanilla scent. I could definitely picture a group of architects gathering for cocktails in an Art Deco smoking room reclining in leather chairs, sipping martini's. I like this scent and am looking forward to hearing what others' around me think about it on me. It is a nice fall or evening scent.

I love vanilla so based on the reviews thought this would be perfect for me. Sadly all I smell is the smell like when you walk into a casino 😂 minus the cigarettes. Looks like it is great for a lot of people, just way too strong for me!

This is a fantastic, sophisticated vanilla and amber scent. It's not sugary vanilla at all, just warm and delicious. It smells sexy and expensive (which it is, for a full bottle). This one is going to be a staple for this fall/winter.

I'm not going to comment on the brisk and pleasant opening; the top notes tell you everything you need to know. What I discovered I love about this scent is the vanilla. It sneaks in early, but in a very unobtrusive, gentle way that belies what it will become as the fragrance progresses. At about the one-hour mark, The Architects Club settles into a warm, dry, slightly smoky vanilla that I find intoxicating. This is no buttercream-bakeshop-your-mom's-rice-pudding vanilla; there's no creamy, cloying sweetness. This is an indolent vanilla lingering over a bed of spicy woods. It's hands-down my favorite vanilla and absolutely perfect for fall. Unfortunately, sillage is nonexistent; it settles into a skin scent very quickly, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, because this vanilla invites a lingering hug. Longevity is moderate; if I bury my nose in my wrist, I can still detect a hint of vanilla at 6 hours, but it's very faint. I give it a 4/10 sillage, 5/10 longevity, and 7/10 overall "wow" factor, but I'd go 10/10 if I'm rating it compared to other vanilla scents. Great value with Scentbird, but I wouldn't buy a FB at this price.

A unique fragrance with an unlikely blend of elements, this one is hard to categorize. At first sniff you get an indulgent whiff of vanilla /tobacco sweetness that dodges being cloying due to the tangy lemon and juniper notes subtly underpinning everything. Add in some woody notes for an unexpected contrast and just a hint of spice, and you've got quite the odd concoction. But inexplicably, this fragrance works. The sweet notes stay dominant throughout wear, which I like, again without being dessert - like, and a light spritz goes a long way. This fragrance is a true original you simply need to smell to experience, and you'll probably love it or hate it. Personally, I can't stop smelling my wrists!

I was a little hesitant since some woody scents immediately turn me away, but I loved this scent immediately, fresh, warm, and sexy smelling. Long lasting too.

I am an Amber Freak and Arquista The Architects Club was right on time scent wise, just wish it lasted longer after you put it on. Otherwise it's a star in my books!

With my first whiff of this scent, I have to say I wasn't sure. It is pretty strong (in fact, one of the strongest I've had so far). But after adjusting to how strong it is, I realized that I really love it. It is very woodsy and musky. So if you aren't into that kind of thing, this is not the scent for you. And it also lasts all day! I never have to think about which scent did I put on this morning?

I do really like the smell, just a little too much vanilla scent.

I ADORE this scent. It's soft and beautiful. I always receive compliments when wearing it.

It smells a little like cotton candy. Not my personal favorite.

This perfume smells very expensive with it’s vanilla and warm tones. It smells to me kinda of masculine but would be a good layering perfume.

Not a fan at all. This is the first scent I don't think I can wear. I didn't like the smell just opening the tube, but have had scents change enough with wearing them that I gave it a chance. But it didn't improve on my skin, just extremely strong, headache-inducingly sweet vanilla with a weird rotty-sweetness in the background. I do not get spicy woodsiness, which is what I was expecting from reviews.

This a very warm tabacco-woods fragrance, with a touch of vanilla. Sweet enough for many women to like it, but very oaky and smells kind of macho to me. Nice, but I am just too girly for it. I will see if my husband likes it, though his preferences tend to be more on the fresh side.

My word..my girl reading a mag blurted out what’s that nice scent I like it. I went and bought a 200.00 bottles worth. Five Star!!!

This is a very nice scent. The vanilla is a background scent that dries down to the main scent. It’s not strong at all. I would give it five stars if it lasted more than a few hours

First things first, all i smelled initially is PEPPER! Its loud and its proud, other than that you get hints of vanilla and woodsy which I usually LOVE but with the pepper and tiny hints of fruit it just isn't my favorite.

Very great scent

I like the idea and the notes but this fragrance smells like a cheap sugary early 2000s era men’s cologne. It makes me nauseous.

Sexy and charming yet unoffensive! Excellent combination of woodiness and Vanilla! I like that for me it doesn’t read as a powdery fragrance but a smooth blend...I interpret it as a clean, comforting, and alluring scent! Unoffensively attractive and appealing! Happy with my first choice as a new subscriber to Scentbird!

As soon as I smelled this I was hooked. It is clean, powdery and vanilla. I really love this smell

I really enjoyed this! It smells sexy and cozy. Not necessarily a Spring or Summer scent but that has not stopped me from using it in the evening. I definitely get the vanilla and lemon and juniper. This is a scent that evokes a room full of intellectuals smoking top notch tobacco in pipes. Kind of a gourmand scent but also on the earthy side. I hate that a bottle is $180! I’m going to need to save up to justify buying this but I will own this.

Love this fragrance, favorite.

It’s smells o.k. I thought it was a male cologne turns out it’s unisex It’s my first spray since I started my subscription. It’s not a bad smell I’m just looking for something more manlier .

Warm and sexy

This fragrance is the strangest thing. The first thing I smell out of the gate is juniper and lemon. This happens instantly, before the juice has even hit my skin. After that vanilla comes in and is quite strong. The strange thing is that the vanilla doesn’t mix with the other notes at all. It feels like I’m wearing a gin, lemon, and wood fragrance but also spilled some vanilla extract on my shirt. The vanilla is like an aura and I smell it all the time. When I go to smell the spray site, I smell no vanilla, but all juniper and lemon.

Great

New Favorite Scent - Usually I wear Gucci the one or Givinchy Hot Couture - and this is the best thing I have found since they discontinued Hot Couture

If you lay a base of something like Juliette Has a Gun or an herbacious oil, the sparkling gin base holds up a bit better. I am *not* a vanilla/gourmand lover, but this is woody and complex. A winner for the vanilla hesitant. Not sure I'd invest in a full bottle due to the dry down, however I will put this back in my queue because it is a *very* wearable cozy scent. I love it, but it's not 10/10 for the retail price. Looking forward to seeing more Arquiste on Scentbird please!

Very sweet! Starts out with almost an overpowering vanilla scent but I did notice that it mellows a bit into a velvety musk the longer it stayed on my skin. I just don’t think I can get past that strong beginning to like it enough. It almost gave me a headache.

I love scents like this that are woody and smart and sweet. But I happened to get sick of this one fairly quickly. Reminiscent of atelier vanilla. I think I was allergic to something in this one though....

This is such a beautiful non-dessert vanilla. If you want to smell like vanilla, but not like a literal cupcake, this is for you. It's sweet, but smoky/woody and a little floral. I can definitely smell the juniper in the opening, and I think it's what makes it smell a little floral through the dry-down. And floral isn't really the right word, either. The juniper just contributes this kind of green softness to the vanilla/guiac combo. I've smelled other woody vanillas and they can get almost hard and masculine. This, though, is soft and feminine, but confident and in charge. It's absolutely stunning. It's also the perfect projection -- light, but not quiet. It's not going to drown out every other smell in the room, but when you pass by you'll get noticed in a very subtle way. If it weren't so expensive, I'd get a full bottle for sure. Glad I can at least get the smaller decant here!

I love vanilla and loved this immediately. The smell is not overpowering: more a seduction than a slap in the face. It reminds me of a dessert, like vanilla pudding. I think it's one of those scents where a woman will put her nose in your neck, sniff and will want to remain close for the rest of the evening. If you're dating someone who has a sweet tooth, I think this scent would be a winner.

Ordered this for my husband and he loves it as do I!! It smells amazing and he gets compliments from everyone!

I was hoping for more lemon and juniper, but the vanilla and amber are very strong making it a little musty. And there is something in there that smells like paper/cardboard, which is off putting. Reminds me of a vanilla black-tea tea bag: oddly flat vanilla scent with the weird paper tea bag smell. The mixture of scents just leave me a little confused when I wear it, but I don't hate it. It really does smell like the inspiration/description listed right above the reviews section!

One of the best I've tried!

This scent is definitely woodsy, but distinctively feminine. It's not my favorite, but it's a nice fragrance. Interestingly enough, I enjoy the scent on the bottle itself - I am not crazy about it when wearing it.

Very woodsy with a touch of citrus. Nice for all sexes, as it doesn't really register as masculine or feminine.

Adding this to my signature fragrances.....works anytime

This is yummy and sweet, with a hint of spice, perfume. The vanilla is strong at first but mellows out and smell delicious and sexy. Great for a night out or everyday

Absolutely loved this. By far one of my favorites. I like woody/musky tones. So this perfume hit the spot. Initial tones are lemon and fresh and undertones that last are sexy and sweet. Love!

I love this scent. My tube spilled in shipping and am so excited that they are going to give me a replacement.

Supposedly unisex, but this skews a little feminine in my book. The "vanilla bean" note is very strong; it smells almost dessert-y.

EXTREMELY UNISEX!! Personally, it was the vanilla that turned me off. But then the woody fragrance hit and kind of made it masculine. It's definitely not bad but more geared towards the ladies.

At first smell it was not that bad kinda sophisticated smelling but I made the mistake of spraying it all over me on the way out the door like any of my other favorite perfumes and I kept smelling the undertone of something kinda pungent and too woodsy smelling or something.... anyway not my fav at all.

I love this scent. It is sweet and clean smelling. The vanilla is not overpowering. Wish it lasted more than 4-6 hours.

Scent does wear off about halfway through the day, but the vanilla aroma that coats you for hours is simply too good to not reapply. Ive gotten countless compliments & cannot stop spraying this little guy everywhere!

The scent was too sweet for me

I didn’t like this scent for me. It reminds me of a old lady.

This scent Ian sweet then has a kick to it that’s a little spicy. WIll order again!

A heady vanilla, spice, and woodsy smell that carries you away. If you don't like vanilla it's not for you.

It has a peppery scent, which I like. It's not super floral or overly feminine. Not my favorite, I'll finish this shipment, but not something i would regularly reach for.

I choose this fragrance by my horoscope, Aquarius. I loved the scent. It’s unique!

Way too strong. Was hoping more for a woodsy, musk smell. This screams old lady in a bingo hall. The smell was absolutely nauseating. I'm finding more of the scents that are described by scentbird borderlining offensive. I know many of these are suppose to be namebrand, but several of them come off as smelling like some horrible cleaning product you'd use.

I rarely like anything with vanilla as I feel like it overpowers just about anything else. This is sweetly feminine and lasts all day. I like this fragrance but not enough to purchase again.

Super nimble/flexible scent, applicable to practically any occasion. There's something so nostalgic and comforting, yet modern and fresh about it...if that's even possible. You'll know exactly what I mean once you try it!

It’s a little strong... does last all day. Kinda smells like something you could get in many other cheaper colognes
