Arabian Night

Arabian Night has a lot in common with Tom Ford Black Orchid. If you take the tuber and the chocolate out of Black Orchid and replace it with coconut and dark, jammy plums, you've got Arabian Night. It's a scent I like to describe as a "Vampire on the beach" fragrance. Because of the coconut it has that tropical vibe, but it's so not a traditional tropical scent. This is not bright, or sunny, or carefree. It's an intensely dark, earthy and sensual fruitchouli with an almost sinister kind of vibe. This tropical island is inhabited by a clan of voodoo practicing vampires. They come out at night to hunt and feed, but they do it in a mysteriously elegant way. They don't use force, they use a sensual kind of magic, a form of enchantment to draw their victims in. What you think is a hidden, passionate kiss in the shadows, turns out to be the very last breath you draw... And the waves crash against the moonlit shore. And the palm trees sway in the tropical night breeze. And your footsteps are slowly being erased as the warm wind caresses the soft, pale sand... This gothic tropical gem lasts for hours and hours on your skin. Sometimes I can even smell it, faintly, the next day. It's heavy right away, but settles into a strong medium
