Yep, gourmand, soapy, shampoo, I agree with several of the reviews on here!! It has a wonderful amber note that makes this perfume powdery.. Sounds odd and to be honest when I smelled it from the bottle I thought no, no, no!!! But I’ve learned over the years that just because it makes me cringe at first, doesn’t mean I won’t love it on my skin. Sure enough a few spritzes and I am in this summery,exotic paradise. Oddly familiar yet wildly unique! This is great!

I had to write a new review since I have fallen in love with Arboretum! I now get where the nostalgic vibe came from. It remind me of Bic Nuit that I wore as a young teenager. The ylang-ylang note was popular in the 80’s also. Anyway fast forward to today Arboretum do smells strongly of ylang-ylang but to me it smells like a divine banana/white chocolate/soap combo. Love!

I agree with the exotic feel and the shampoo smell. On me it’s almost gourmand. I will try it again on a hot summer night. Something in it feel nostalgic, it is nice.

Simple scent with soft, sweet Ylang-Ylang and warm, creamy Amber. It’s linear, doesn’t change much and basically smells like some sort of shampoo to me.
Low sillage and moderate longevity on my skin.

On me Arboretum starts out as a bitter herbal smell, like medicinal tea (which I like, but would not choose as a perfume). The cardamom and amber scents emerge amongst the herbal greens relatively quickly, and give the fragrance an exotic feel. I can imagine this new smell surrounding me under an arbor in the evening in hot, humid locale. After 1/2-hour, I really start to notice the ylang ylang, which persists through the dry-down. It lasts for at least four hours, and stays close to my skin.
Honestly, I didn’t like it when I first tried it, but Arboretum has grown on me. I find it sweet, spicy, and romantic, while not being overtly floral or gourmand. This smells very sexy to me.
