The story behind the bottle.
Arcanum by Navitus Parfums, launched in 2020 and crafted by Jorge Lee, is a unisex fragrance that embodies the brand's philosophy of connecting with raw materials on an almost spiritual level. The composition opens with cinnamon and olibanum, creating a warm, spicy tension that leads into the heart notes of osmanthus and coconut, adding a subtle sweetness. This evolves into a rich base of Laotian oud, labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean, and amberwood, which together create an enveloping warmth. The fragrance is both intimate and expansive, capturing the essence of Navitus Parfums' belief in the infinite potential of scent.
Apply Arcanum in two layers to ensure that the spicy top notes have time to meld with the deeper base. The fragrance blooms gradually over an hour, so it's best applied before any evening activity for maximum impact. Keep it close to your skin for a more personal experience rather than projecting it across a room.
