Launched in 2000 by Serge Lutens, Arabie was crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake to evoke the rich, layered aromas of an oriental journey. The fragrance opens with a fresh and spicy burst that gradually gives way to sweet and fruity nuances, creating a dynamic interplay between light and warmth. At its core, Arabie is anchored by warm spices, amber, and woody accords, which create a sense of depth and complexity reminiscent of ancient trade routes.
