Description For this perfume Hiram Green was inspired by the natural splendour of Arcadia. In this idyllic, unspoiled wilderness babbling brooks meander through mountains covered in dense forests and the air is filled with the sound of humming insects and twittering birds.

Imagine the lush undergrowth that covers the forest floor. In areas where the sun manages to break through the canopy, fragrant flowers bask in the sunlight and their sweet scent intertwines with the fresh green smell of the foliage.

Arcadia belongs to the classic olfactive group known as Fougère, or fern-like perfumes. As no natural fern fragrant oil exists, Fougère fragrances always consist of a combination of fragrant oils that evoke the scent of ferns.

Aromatic French lavender and Italian bergamot dominate the top of Arcadia before jasmine and rose provide floral shading. Tonka bean, aged patchouli, and New Caledonian sandalwood add depth to the composition.

Stella ★★★★★

The aged patchouli and sandalwood blend into a warm, creamy base that lasts well past eight hours on my skin. That opening bergamot gives it a fresh sparkle, but it's the resinous depth that keeps pulling me back for another sniff.

Steven X. ★★★★★

The dry-down is where this really shines—that aged patchouli and New Caledonian sandalwood melt into something creamy and warm that lasts well past dinner. The lavender opening is sharp and green but never soapy, which I wasn't expecting from a fougère.

Timothy E. ★★★★★

I was a little nervous about a fougère with this many notes, but the lavender and bergamot open so bright and clean, and the dry-down to that warm tonka and sandalwood is just gorgeous. It's the kind of scent that makes me keep sniffing my own wrist hours later.
