Arabie is a polarizing and idiosyncratic fragrance that confuses many wearers due to its complex, spice-forward character and unexpected note combinations. While some appreciate its uniqueness and interesting dry opening with fruit and spice notes, others find it lacks cohesion and smells more like disconnected spice rack ingredients rather than a unified composition.
