Sunny with depth, Swiss Arabian Soul of Bali smells like a tropical fruit salad with warm spices and driftwood. Mango, bergamot, pineapple, pink pepper, rhubarb and ginger make a juicy, zingy opening. The heart turns spicier with aquatic notes, frankincense, rosewood, saffron, cardamom and nutmeg, and the base of musk, sandalwood, ambergris and cypriol is warm and woody.
This unisex eau de parfum is a daytime scent for spring, summer and fall, easy for casual wear. Wearers describe it as woody, aromatic and grounded. It lasts a long time and projects to about arm's length. Opinion is fairly split and blind-buy safety is below average, likely because the fruit-and-spice mix is unusual.
Around $85.
