Vendor: Swiss Arabian
Iris and Berry
powdery iris with fresh berries and a whisper of rose

Think warm wood and fresh aromatic on a dry wood base, sophisticated: that is Swiss Arabian Pure Instinct. It opens with apple, grapefruit and pepper, moves into cardamom, tuberose and patchouli and settles on vanilla, amber and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2018.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
