Arber

Great scent, bad performance. I used 3 bottles in the past of Arber and it gives me barbershop vibes, manly, aftershave-like scent. I don't get the fruity notes at all, but mostly the traditional man cologne scents. If there was a good performer of this scent, I would definetely get it and make it within my top 5. I think it's very good in the sandalwood to give the aftershave feeling, and at the same time warm and spicy enough with citrus crispiness. Deserves a big compliment on the created scent, but lacks performance so bottle goes ver quick.

For some reason, the more I smell this fragrance the more I like it. Granted, it is generic, rather linear and with little longevity, but it manages to perfectly balance the aquatic and fruity notes in the opening before melting away to something spicier in the heart and base, all the while without delving inside that sickly-sweet territory that's taken over the men's market (like Spicebomb and One Million). I can't really smell sandalwood all that strongly but it does have a crisp woody aspect that makes it suitable for work. 9/10

As a woman i can say: it's my absolute favourite scent on my man. It's motivating and refreshing and gives you a warm hug at the same time!! It's really great...and EVERY woman who has smelled it on him, wants to know what it is!!

this smells amazing. it has a strong masculine and intense smell. nothing to say except it's simple, masculine and good for all ages.

Cheap and easy to wear with rich depth, easy buy 8/10

If you’re on the fence about this, I’d say get it. Definitely aromatic, has that peppery vibe that aromatic scents have, but still crowd pleasing and pleasant. It’s warm and deep, but with that peppery-ness that makes it more complex and interesting. This is still not overly complex and easy to enjoy, so one I think teenage boys would enjoy as a first cologne and feel really mature. It would definitely get attention. But that being said I think men of any age could pull this off... it doesn’t have that overpowering freshness that scents associated with teenage boys wear, but also isn’t dated and leathery like scents associated with older men. It is just unique with that pepper and warm and I imagine would draw people towards you to smell you. Men of class would wear this!!

Not really sure what to make of it. Sweet Very slightly fruity, more sugary Woody enough I can't make out a single one of these notes. I'm very surprised at how much I like it, though. Seems either the longer it sits, or the more you sweat on it, the sweeter it becomes. Seems to sweat away easily, BUT, the scent is sweated very well too, seems to improve the projection. For $40 100ml, I think this will be my next buy, when I decide I need more :-/ I recommend open minded individuals getting bored of mainstream fragrances one disappointment after another. Also to nature lovers, as it actually smell crisp and green.

Package: Didn't get it in a package at all just a flask. Flask: Dark brown, toned flask. Looks clean, but very unorginal. The cap is weak, I think it's some kind of enviroment friendly one. Overall it's an okay flask. The scent: Woodsy, spicy, sweet and fresh. Starts out with a more citrusy smell and dries down to a spicy/woody smell. It's not that heavy though, but more on the fresh side. The sillage is poor, as well as the projection. The staying power isn't that great either unfortunatley. My score: Scent: 6.8/10 Longevity: 4/10 Sillage/projection: 3/10

I notice a strong resemblance to L’Occitane Eau des Bavx. I like it a lot but the performance is marginal at best. The scent is definitely woody and slightly sweet. Sweet creamy sandalwood throughout the life of the fragrance mixed with tonka to sweeten it up. The supporting notes are definitely hard to pick up and pretty far in the background. A great cheapie. The paint on the bottle starts to peel after a while though. It makes a mess.

I got my boyfriend this as a day-to-day scent. It's simple, very masculine, and classy. To some it might be "flat" but I really enjoy how clean and straightforward it is. It doesn't have to be complex or confusing, it's "lagom". The base notes are more enjoyable than the top notes to me, so it wears beautifully. Nice woody scent, not too strong, I think it's a safe bet if you're looking for a gift for your partner/father/brother etc.

Masculine, but nothing special about this fragrance. First I wanted to say that I dislike this fragrance, but wore it one more time. beside generic smell of this fragrance, everything is good/decent. The scent is pleasant, specially in cooler weather. longevity is decent. Scent: 6/10 Longevity: 7/10 projection: 6/10 uniqueness: 3/10 overall :5/10

This is one of those fragrances that only gets a couple of reviews a year. It's nothing magical, but for me, I adore the smell simply because it reminds me of happier and simpler times in life. In 2002-2004 you could smell this in a lot of places here in London.

my go-to if i just want to wear something simple and approachable. it's not anything super special, but it has just enough complexity and interest to escape being generic. i'm fond of it!

i'll always love it because it's my dads signature but it's not really my thing, not bad at all and super versatile, any situation this works

My husband’s everyday perfume. I dont know how it can lasts over 8 hours on him. I only can tell it smells just like my husband lol.

Nice, simple, bottom shelf cologne. Favorable to wear whenever as its very cost effective.

Super weak longevity and decent sillage. For the price it's just a bad fragrance. Recieved a few compliments tho. 5/10 Edit: Longevity is like 15-30 minute

My Wife gave me a bottle four years ago. Worn it once, I did not like it. But she does, so she brought me a second one. Fast forward to today, I wear it daily. Longevity hardly stands an hour, so I apply liberally. I did not like it at first, now I do. It is not among my favs, though. However, it will fit the bill if you are among the ones that does not care about sillage, complexity and longevity. PS: There are some I simply don't stand (1 Million, for example). This is far from that league - it has an updated barbershop character. I guess that is the reason I wear it without much ado.

Very, very heavy on the citrus. It's an OK fresh scent to start the morning with, but nothing I would wear frequently or on a night out. Generally lasts around 3-4 hours on me. 6.5/10

Smell pleasant enough but the performance is pretty abysmal. It's gone after half hour which doesn't warrant taking up space in my cupboard. Longevity 2/10 Projection 4/10 Smell 7/10

Bought this as a generic cheapie that I would wear to the gym. Didnt know there would be a Watermelon note (i despise melon scents) in a woodsy fragrance.

The name suggests woody (arbor?) but The Body Shop's Arber is far more an odd connection of fruit, flowers, and woods than simply a woody scent. It still has a useful place in the current men's selection since none of the other options are particularly woody, fruity, or flowery. First off, it's fair to regard this as more of an eau de cologne or body spray rather than a standard EDT--very light. Unsurprisingly, then, a lot of the magic happens in the initial spray and a lot of it disappears pretty quickly into the rapid dry down. Longevity is limited. I'm not sure the note breakdown does this justice, as I have a bit of difficulty sorting out the notes amidst the generally synthetic, semi-deodorant smell. On the whole, this smells like woods mixed with dried fruit and fresh fruit, including citrus and watermelon. As a light semi-woody option, it has its usefulness in casual situations, likely year-round, but I wouldn't dress it up, as it simply lacks a certain minimum sophistication that I'd want in a true night/date/formal scent. Still a great option for the price ($28 for 100ml though often on sale). 6 out of 10

Used to buy this stuff for my ex husband. He quite liked it. It's very masculine, heavy on the coriander but it's toned down by sandalwood. Some aquatic accords from the watermelon. Kind of generic. Really only worth purchasing if you are a Body Shop fan (I used to shop there a ton) and you need to use up that $25 reward.

Not bad, for a body shop fragrance. I hate the bottle design though, simply because of the plastic paint on it. These kinds of bottles have a habit of peeling/scratching if you take your perfumes around with you or if you handle them frequently. The scent itself is very clean, warm and friendly.

Pleasing when I want something that is lighter and won't have great lasting power. It does smell nice, but it's nothing special. It also rather clashes with their The Body Shop's body butters. haha

It reminds me a lot of an aftershave from Gillette, Wild Rain. Since it's been discontinued over a decade ago nothing has come close as this for an affordable daily scent.

Very nice fragance, versatile and comfortable. A natural mix of aromatic herbs, a sexy touch of flowers and a manly combo of woods with some minimal fruity touch.

The opening is refreshing, light and crispy. But the problem is, this perfume lack of sillage. I would give 2.75 of 5 for this perfume

Smells like Calvin Klein's Eternity For Men. I like it. Nice combination of citrus, light sweetness and woody freshness.

Clean, fresh shower scent that avoids smelling like inexpensive body wash. But longevity is terrible. Great opening.

its not bad but i think white musk and activist are beter (just my opinion) really not bad but not overwhelming 6/10

A very simple woody aromatic fragrance. Pleasant but not very unique.

woody, sensual ,feels nice to wear it
