Arethusa

One of my absolute favorite summer scents! Not a bit of sharpness in this beauty on my skin. No dirty marine notes, just a soft, fruity, fresh, summer frag. This smells to me of a bowl of juicy sweet Pomegranate, fig, a splash of sweet plum & some orange zest to add a sweet freshness. Sea breeze blowing in the air. In the breeze you catch a whiff of the jasmine, a touch of orange blossom(but these are more light whiffs, balancing the fruits, adding a different kind of sweet freshness to the frag), & a dry fresh Sage. In this fragrance i also pick up a hint of the spicy ginger, which blends perfectly with the fruits, adding a ZING to the watery fruity notes, and a beautiful warm Saffron in the middle closer to dry down stage. This is watery fresh picked fruits, airy soft tropical florals, a few miles away from a large body of water, A fresh zing, & some dry herbs to add depth & beauty. Leans fem, & i don't pick up directly on any leather or harsh notes at all. i belive they are here to balance as well & add longevity. I'll be wearing this ALL summer. It's perfect imo. Sillage is moderate & projection as well for the 1st 2-3hrs or so, then she sits closer to skin, but still there. You can still be smelt within close proximity, or in a breeze after the 2/3hr mark. Worth a sample 100%...this was such a welcomed surprise to my collection. *EDIT*: I came to add that I thought it became a skin scent after 2-3hrs but NO def not! I just became use to the scent. After applying at 2pm, it's now 11pm, & she is projecting NICELY off my body. About a foot outwards & my trail is AMAZING! After sweating & warming my skin up, Arethusa is performing even better, & just smells so BEAUTIFUL! Best fruity/fresh frag I've EVER had the pleasure of testing & this is almost Illegal how highly underrated this frag is lol. Please test at least! I'm glad I did! I Will purchase a full bottle before summer of 2025. Also I want to note that this isn't super unique, or edgy, etc. But what makes it stand out in my mind/collection is how well blended Arethusa is, How tons of ambroxen isn't used, no harsh musky or patchouli notes, it's ACTUALLY a semi realistic, sweet, juicy, fruity scent, with beautiful fresh florals. A grown up fruity scent, that actually last & projects well. Well crafted, well blended, with great quality oils, I adore it!

I got my bottle a few weeks ago i was just exploring fragrances to find something unique and came across to arethusa, when i tested it on my skin i was already wearing another perfume so couldn't really notice the blend initially but still went ahead and bought it ,,honestly speaking i regreted it a day later, was asking to myself why did i even bought it and from that day it was sitting on my shelf completely packed and today i thought to myself to give it a try and see what is it all about and man she is floral she is sweet and fruity she is fresh with the hint of some woodiness and the way it blends " chef's kiss" i sprayed only little amount on my skin and clothes and my whole room was filled with this, its leaving a trail behind wherever i am going if im sitting in a closed environment the whole room smells like me Ps, a little note for new users it works amazingly in warm weather it gives a maximum sillage in little warm environment and in air-conditioned room it gets around 5ft,yet i am wearing it from last 7 hrs this is a hidden gem of this house trust me on this All you need is to warm yourself up a little when you apply it and it will do the magic its supposed to do

Wow wow wow this is special! but not for everyone it's a fruity aquatic floral scent for summer and maybe suitable for spring(canadian weather) on me(black skin) I get pomegranate and orange, aquatic notes and fresh floral/herbal notes you really get the juice from fresh cut fruits: fresh juicy sweet (natural). The aquatic notes make it really juicy and watery fresh ( it's almost mouthwatering) in the background you have the florals and herbs balanced and well blended. I don't get any leather and sandalwood but I think the ingredients are extremely well blended which would explain the great longevity of this fragrance. I give it a 8.5/10 scent 8.5/10 projection 6/10 close to skin after 4h silage 6 leaves a nice trail behind you and just beautiful in the wind longevity 10/10 close to skin after 4h but still can smell it after 10h this ia great alternative to citrus summer scents it's fruity and floral-ish -> try do not blind buy if you like Toy boy, Mancera Black Gold and "feminine"/unsiex scents give this a try

This is a hard scent to dissect given the sheer amount of notes. It is super well blended and hard to pick out single notes with ease. Off the top i can notice the pomegranite accord and the sage. The scent is aquatic, sweet, fresh, a smidge citrusy, and slightly spicy from the ginger. There isn't a cloying sweetness here, it's well rounded from the sea water and salt accords. There's an uplifting floral composition next to the aquatics that makes you feel like you're in a seaside garden. The saffron, leather, sand and vetiver notes don't stick out that much, they feel like they kind of accompany the salt and deepen it. I find this fragrance surprisingly sits close to unisex, maybe a smidge feminine but i think men could rock this just as easily. Definitely a summertime fragrance. Oh and did i mention it performs insanely well? Go easy on the trigger with this. It projects like crazy and lasts all day.

This is... gorgeous! Idole by Armani used to be my signature scent about 10 years ago (now discontinued). This is 90% similar to idole but with better projection, longevity and it's a bit more sweet which I like. I know a lot of people say it's more for spring/summer, however I think it could easily be worn all year round.
