Arsh

Arsh Extrait opens bright, crisp, and clean, with grapefruit doing most of the initial lifting. It's juicy but not sugary, sharpened by bergamot to keep it fresh rather than plavful. The opening feels modern and airy more refined citrus than loud summer freshie. As it moves into the heart, the fragrance softens noticeably. Almond adds a light creaminess and subtle nuttiness, while neroli brings a clean, slightly soapy floral edge. This phase feels smooth and elegant, almost understated, with the almond preventina the neroli from going too sharp or too white-floral. The drydown is quiet, musky, and slightly earthy. Musk sits close to the skin, clean rather than animalic, while vetiver adds a gentle green-dry backbone that keeps everything grounded. There's no overt sweetness push here. Arsh finishes fresh, calm, and composed Performance is moderate but respectable: projection stays controlled, and longevity is solid without overstaving its welcome. This is very much a clean-skin, polished aromatic citrus rather than a statement or powerhouse scent. Overall, Arsh Extrait feels versatile, modern, and easy to wear. It works well as a davtime or office fraarance and in the truest sense - fresh citrus up top, soft floral-nutty heart, clean musky base. Comparisons to L'Homme Idéal Cologne by Guerlain Shares a modern citrus-aromatic DNA. with a clean grapefruit opening similar to contemporary fresh niche stvles rather than classic coloanes. The almond/neroli combination gives it a smoother, slightly creamy floral heart compared to sharp neroli-heavv scents. Feels closer to a refined, contemporary aromatic than a bold or experimental fragrance. This is a clean, elegant, skin-scent-plus fraarance with restraint.

* Refreshing citrus/floral hybrid with aromatic touches * Dead-on clone of Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé * Great blend of citrus, spicy, floral, musky, and vetiver aromas * Vibrant and lively * Great for citrus lovers * Unisex * Versatile; good for all occasions and seasons and ages * Good performer * Beautiful presentation * A ton of competition in the citrus fragrance arena * Lacks the rich almond note that has made the original DNA formula famous French Avenue's Arsh is a clone ofGuerlain L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé though some compare it to the original L'Homme Idéal Cologne instead. It's a strong citrus and floral hybrid fragrance, very vibrant and refreshing. Fans of citrus fragrances will love this. It's a great blend of citrus, spicy, floral, musky, and vetiver aromas. The latter notes help give this a bit of depth and extend the longevity. Those looking for an almond note, however, made famous by the other flankers in the original and their clones will find no such note here. This is competing against the likes of Acqua di Gio and Light Blue and the myriad clones thereof and other originals copying the same DNA. There's a lot out there to choose from. Those that do pick this up will be rewarded with a lively and versatile fragrance that is good for both sexes and can be used for all occasions and seasons and by both older and younger users. Performance is good and the presentation is beautiful as per French Avenue's high standards. Extremely worthwhile citrus addition. Highly recommended.

Not as close as I think I was expecting. Not to Guerlain Platine Prive, at least. I decanted some of my Platine Prive bottle before selling the remainder. I liked it, but the performance was pretty bad. I was excited hearing about this offering, and ordered a bottle. Hoping for a more potent GPP. My initial excitement faded after realizing that this one basically eliminates the almond almost entirely. I can only detect a little. Direct comparison to the Platine Prive confirms this. I'd put this at around 75% close, if I had to. This misses everything that made Platine Prive special. The subtle nuances aren't here, which seems to be a clone thing across the board. But wait!!!! Don't let that discourage anyone from trying it!! It is still a great purchase. The reviewer below @icemanbrfc I think summed it up best by saying that this has the facets of a number of fragrances in this style, all rolled into one. The performance and appeal of this are very good even without the Platine Prive comparison. I like it a lot, and I look forward to wearing it through the remainder of the summer. Edit to add: Quality packaging, quality bottle, pressurized atomizer. For the price, this is a really good pick up.

Surprisingly delicious opening. It has that fresh, gentlemanly vibe but don't think of a cheap aftershave—it's just incredibly clean and crisp. After about 20-25 minutes, the magic happens: a beautiful, creamy (and thankfully not bitter) almond note emerges. It turns the scent into a very cool, smart-casual, elegant fragrance. Picture this: a warm summer evening on a rooftop bar, or a nice lounge where you're having 2-3 Johnny Walker Black Labels with ginger ale and a slice of lemon :D. That's the vibe. Performance isn't earth-shattering, but it lasts a solid 6 hours on my skin. Your mileage may vary. It's definitely not a sillage nuke, but it projects gently. In a car or a tight space, it will occasionally hit the noses around you. It's the perfect choice if you don't want to be overly loud, but still want to treat your company to a beautiful aroma.Best suited for summer afternoons and evenings, but honestly, I love spraying it during the day just to enjoy it with a good cup of coffee. High-quality stuff for the price!

NOTE: I haven't smelled L'Homme Ideal Platine Prive, so no comps with the OG. Full disclosure--I love neroli. I also don't love a prominent zesty citrus vibe. So this one had me intrigued. Yes, off the rip there is a pretty strong, fizzy citrus blast. I wasn't sure I'd like it at first. But that dies down after 5-10 minutes and that's where the beautiful, soapy/fresh/clean neroli and the smooth, creamy almond shine through. The citrus is still there, but it compliments the mid notes instead of screaming above everything else. This is the warm-weather cousin to Prada L'Homme Intense. Sophisticated, put together, clean, confident. I can't wait to see how maturation improves this one. I'm also not big into presentations, but French Avenue crushed it with this one. So if that's your thing, you will like Arsh's packaging and bottle style. Haven't had time to test longevity, but it's an extrait so I'm confident it'll last. Bottom line--an aromatic, soapy fresh citrus-supported scent that uplifts and calms.

A Remarkable All-Season Signature Scent I've been using this fragrance for a while now, and it has quickly become a staple in my collection. The opening hits with a soft, realistic bergamot note—fresh without being sharp—beautifully balanced by an airy musk that gives it an almost weightless feel. As it settles, it transitions into a clean, luxurious citrus base with a subtle, slightly nutty undertone with frothy neroli and musk that adds depth without overpowering. What really sets this scent apart is its versatility. It’s effortlessly wearable year-round, whether for daily wear or dressed-up occasions. It manages to be refined and understated while still making an impression. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sophisticated, everyday fragrance that doesn’t lean too trendy or overpowering.

Nose Note #1051 This one is easy to like. All you have to know is that it is a Tygar and Imagination adjacent scent. Not a clone per se. But if it is a dupe of L’Homme Idéal Platine Privé, then I can see how Guerlain wanted to house something similar to the aforesaid bestsellers. All the perfume houses copy each other and follow the trends. So no surprises. This is still different enough from both Tygar and Imagination. I was never very fond of Tygar, it always felt annoying. This is trying to mix Tygar with Imagination, but with perhaps more emphasis on lemon (the citrus accord basically smells closer to lemon here, bitter lemon). And no tea note, and not so much ambroxan in the base. Men only. Good performance, but I haven't quite figuered it out yet. I feel like it has more potential. 7.9/10

I really enjoy this. I have not smelled the OG, but I did sample L’Homme Ideal Cologne Forte, and in my opinion this is a smoother, less abrasive citrus fragrance(which means it’s probably closer to the OG). French Avenue continues with its good oils, and while some of the notes are synthetic(newsflash, most oils in Guerlain’s L’homme line are synthetic, I own Guerlain Homme and that puppy is great, but synthetic), but it’s designer level synthetic, so it smells good and it has the expected longevity for this type of scent profile. It projects well in the first hour as well. If you’re looking for a summer fresh and clean fragrance, I’d recommend to get your nose on this. Great value, but even without taking the price into account, it is a good, citrus fresh clean fragrance.

It is a gentle and lovely fragrance that is perfect for everyday use and office environments. It is not at all sharp that it would bother anyone in the office environment. The structure of the perfume mentions bergamot, grapefruit and musk, but the scent of the perfume is actually an accord of these notes. One thing that surprised me a lot is longivity, which you can easily feel on your skin for over 12 hours. عطری ملایم و دوست داشتنی هست که برای روزمره و محیط اداری کاملا مناسبه. اصلا تند نیست که در محیط اداره باعث آزار کسی بشه. در ساختار عطر به برگاموت و گریپ فروت و مشک اشاره شده، ولی بوی عطر در واقع آکوردی از این نتها هست. نکته ای که من رو خیلی متعجب کرد، طول مدت اثر عطر هست که راحت بالای ۱۲ ساعت عطر رو روی پوست خود حس میکنید

I have not tried Platine Prive, but loved Cologne when it was available, despite not liking the others in the line due to the almond note not agreeing with me. Somehow it worked for me with the freshness of Cologne. Arsh is very much in the same wheelhouse, and to my nose, is trying to clone Cologne. I think it does a respectable job of it. Not a 1 to 1 and doesn't have the same quality or elegance as Cologne, but it'll get you there and smells very close in the air. My gal loves it as well and even got a couple unsolicited compliments wearing it. It's not perfect, but it will scratch the itch if you miss L'Homme Ideal Cologne as much as I do. Unless a better dupe comes out, this will definitely be a staple in my rotation!

This has sat for a while. Right out of the box its composition was not well coordinated; some notes stuck out like a sore thumb, so I threw it into a dark corner and forgot about it...till now. The alchemy did its thing, and now it's become this smoky, fizzy citrus soda, where the smokiness is of earthy quality. Imagine going out in the rain while drinking a lemonade and walking across a nice, slightly muddy lawn. It's moody while slightly positive, natural while buffed with modern drink, and muddy while clean. Although the contrast is apparent, it's very safe and closer to the middle than to the extremes. Overall this fragrance does not take a risk but keeps being interesting and not lacking character. Great freshie!

I love this one. I actually look forward to wearing it. If you took the simple citrus from LV's L'Immensite, and added some additional zest, florals, and a creamy, powdery backbone, this is what you would end up with. It lives in the same space as the LV, Bulgari Tygar, anything that has a simple yet dignified and rich citrus as the prominent note, but adds a level of complexity that makes it much more appealing. Performance and longevity have been really solid. It doesn't scream off my skin, but I will catch silage bubbles for a solid 8 hours, with the skin scent lasting longer. Of course, YMMV, but I find this to be a really classy, safe citrus that is incredibly enjoyable and uplifting to wear.

So, a good clone, no. The OG may be hard too replicate. We don't the get the rind-y grapefruit opening nor the distinct bitter almond base. On it's own, it is quite beautiful fizzy, refreshing citrus (and I want to say tea) fragrance. So, not the same, still very beautiful and wearing. And for the price? I would say blind buy unless you don't like citrus or tea/musky almonds. Clean, sorta soapy, refreshing. This could be a signature scent. This projects and lasts around 7-8 hours and then it's a skin scent for 2 more hours. And even if it doesn't do it the same way, Arsh hits all the spots in the best of ways with this DNA. I'm hoping they come count with a flanker of some sort.

It starts with a distinct of yuzu-like scent. Half an hour later, a very pleasant scent that is lemony and not at all sour comes to the nose. I also get a sense of a candy from this perfume. Of course, not that sweet. I mean the feeling that I catched from this perfume اولش با بوی مشخص یوزو شروع میشه. نیم ساعت بعد بوی بسیییار مفرحی که لیموئی هست و بدون هیچ گونه ترشی هم هست به مشام میرسه. یه حالتی مثل آب نبات قیچی رو هم از این عطر دریافت میکنم. البته نه اونقدر شیرین. منظورم اون حسی هست که به آدم القا میکنه .

I just it got it today and it is a decent one nothing spectacular felt like it's in between afnan turathi blue and club de nuit intense the quality of the juice is really good feels like a designer fragrance in the opening very citrusy and then settles into a high quality mix of sweet lemon with vetiver this will be good in summer I got it as a blind buy And honestly if i had tried it i wouldn't have bought it for 40$ as it is not really my taste I don't know about performance This is Overall 7.5 /10

A freshie done different. I like how the citrus is purely there to awaken the senses and not a main character. The neroli isn’t overdone and well balance. The soapy clean is more of a support than a main character as well. It’s not just soapy but slightly floral which blends well with the almond, which is the main character here. The almond is slightly creamy. Those citrus notes that faded in the beginning are subtle and behind the almond & neroli. Very well blended.

After almost 3 months of maceration i have to say that i changed my mind on this Arsh which means Throne in Arabic has grown a lot on me with time I gave it a like when i first got it and the quality was great from day one but now this gets a love from me The performance is very good for a summer fragrance i get 5 to 7 hours of longevity If you like citrus frags Arsh is Blind buy worthy 💯 After maceration This is an 8.7 out of 10 for me 😘😘

Beautiful scent from day 1. Just got this and it smells awesome! No alcohol blast like many clone fragrances before maturation. It's a nice soft, creamy, citrus, fresh scent. Probably will get better with time and last longer, for now it's projecting about a foot and a half for about 4 hours. As someone that mostly gravitates to warm, amber, vanilla scents, I'm shocked at how much I love this.

Arsh is a quality fragrance. I’m not sure what the other reviewers are smelling that smells screechy. This does smell similar to the Guerlain Cologne dna and I can definitely see where some detect Imagination. Arsh is not a powerful in your face cologne but it does make a confident statement. Perfect for office or indoor events when you want to be more discreet. For the $$ a must have.

I Absolutely love this, it's a creamy lemonade type scent. No idea if its close to Prive and i don't care because as a standalone it's really nice. Easy 10 hours on my skin with a moderate sillage and turns into an extended scent bubble after those projection hours. Looking at the notes it didn't look appealing but after wearing it, it has become my go to for the hot.
