Arché

I love love love this perfume. I've almost finished my 50ml bottle and I'm thinking of buying it again. It's also very similar to Santal 33, but Arche scent is more complex and natural as someone said before in the comments. My boyfriend also did like this perfume, he said it smells very melancholic and gothic and I could agree to that

This is very similar to Santal 33. The scent is very pleasant. Unfortunately it did not survive the night out - sprayed it on at 17:00 and it was gone without a trace by 22:00.

This is a much nicer and better quality sandalwood than Santal 33 much more complex and natural. Definitely one to check out. The floral notes are quite beautiful.

Fantastic, imagine Santal 33 but with a bit more leather. Incredible piece. Can be worn in any time/season, longevity is decent, silage is good.

Starts off smelling like fresh leather, then dries down to tangy sandalwood.

A nice, linear, and clean dill-leaning interpretation of a sandalwood scent. This feels a bit herbaceous, green, raw. There is a punchiness to it upon first spray, something sour-like that feels like a gentle vinegar or citrus water. Leather is there, solidly in the background... sexy dill? Violet is there faintly, watery, just tipping things a tad melancholic. Over time (1 hr after first spray) some floral (violet) hints play peekaboo if you sniff deeply. I don't get much of the powdery iris though. Amber is distantly there to keep things slightly warm-leaning--which I appreciate as this could have easily gone in a very cool/cold direction. Personal note: Unfortunately it's been impossible to un-smell the dill-sandalwood association after my fiance pointed it out last Autumn. :( :( Took a break from most sandalwoods over Autumn-Winter. Had about 5 minutes this morning where I could enjoy Arche without smelling dill. Yay!

Reviewing a sample from 2023. Arché was launched in 2020. This is a beautiful leathery violet/wood scent. Arche opens with realistic violet and Iris. The cedar is there at the start but is soft. Leather slowly comes in smooth like suede. Amber and aromatic woods add complexity and depth. Well blended so that the base does not overwhelm the subtle florals. Much smoother and warmer than Santal 33. No citrus or dill ( a frequent complaint re Santal 33 as well). The "green" aspect is from the cedar. Quality- excellent Unisex- leans very slightly masculine Performance- excellent as for most of Mine fragrances Interesting, well balanced and almost fresh violet iris/woody leather fragrance. Underrated and worth a try if you like Santal 33 type scents. 8/10

Great fragrance, but I wore this to work too often, so now the smell is too much associated with that, lol. I like this a lot, but I dont understand what people say about it. No dill!? Are you serious!? This definitely has a dill twinge. It's a heavy woody violet, with the dill twinge of course coming from sandalwood, which is natural. It does definitely smell like santal 33, you have to admit, though it's distinct in its powderyness and much more powerful iris and violet, which almost give it a certain bit of purple(?). I prefer this to santal 33 because of the florals, but I enjoy both.

For me smells like a leather shop ,with leather goods and stuff, slight woodiness but for me it smells like leather Sandals , would I wear it again,yes will I buy the full bottle,idk bro ,no money especially for sm that I have no real use wearing, hmmm smells like licking Achilles sweaty balls under his leather blouse

On paper, Archè should’ve been my thing: sandalwood with iris and violet. On skin, I get neither. No powdery floral lift, just a dry, woody, slightly scratchy Santal 33-style accord. People around me keep saying they smell dill/pickle brine in it; I never got that from Santal 33, but once they said it about Archè, I couldn’t un-hear it. I don’t hate it, I don’t love it—it sits in that annoying middle ground of interesting but not to be repeated.

This isnt unisex at all but definitely a female scent. Fresh, green, flowery, grassy. Not bad at all but not something i want for my wife to wear.

Really disliked this one Violet and iris combined with amber and wood What did go wrong here indeed because all I get is rotten citrus vibes
