About

Amouage Arcus wears as a cool citrus-aromatic scent with a green edge: lime, bergamot, and fig leaf flow into a basil-lavender heart. In the base, teak wood, amber, and patchouli create a calm woody trail with a light touch of litchi.

Amouage Arcus opens with a cool citrus flash of lime and bergamot, while fig leaf adds an immediate dry green edge. In the heart, it turns more aromatic and herbal: basil and lavender feel clean and composed, while cyclamen and geranium add a damp, slightly salty nuance. The overall character stays in a fresh citrus-aromatic profile with an aquatic, ozonic feel often mentioned in reviews. In the drydown, the fragrance moves toward a warmer woody direction: teak wood, amber, and patchouli make the trail softer and calmer. Litchi adds a light fruity accent without pushing the scent into sweetness. Projection feels moderate and controlled rather than loud. Arcus suits those who enjoy clean green-aquatic fragrances for daytime, office wear, warm weather, and an everyday pace.
