Anyone who invests in a perfume looks forward to a long lasting impression of that fragrance. There are some in the market which costs a bomb but fail to perform as per expectation. On the other hand, there are also some that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket and give quite a good performance. The second sort are the keepers which every perfume aficionado looks for. Today, I am here to share my opinion whether Arise EDT for men from the house of All Good Scents fall into the first or the second category.
Packaging Like I start my reviews, here also let me talk about the packaging first. Classic. That’s it. A glass bottle with a golden colored liquid and a brown steely cap on top of it just makes the entire look classy for any display. The bottle is heavy as the glass seems of pretty good quality. Overall, quite nice when it comes to the packaging. Nothing out of the ordinary, but works well. Scent Now coming to the actual scent. Let’s cover the notes first. The top notes of this perfume comprises orange, grapefruit and pepper. The heart notes include patchouli, geranium leaves and rose bay. At the base, it has got benzoin, vetiver and atlas ceder. From the notes itself, it is clear that this is a citrusy and woody fragrance. From the first spritz itself you can smell the strong masculine vibe of this scent. It opens with the zesty, citrusy, tangy burst and gradually it settles down into a more mature and enigmatic woody base. It surely knows how to create the first impression right. Longevity and Silage Definitely something that can draw a lot of attention from ladies as it is hard to miss. Quite strong in nature, people will definitely notice it if you wear this and walk among them. The only bummer in this wonderful creation is the longevity. It is an EDT, which kind of indicates that it won’t be extremely long lasting, but on my husband’s skin it lasted for not more than 2 hrs. Though on the clothes it lasts quite long. From the first sniff, I expected this to last really long as it has a strong opening. However, it fails to live up to the expectation on the longevity part. Quantity and Price Point This one comes in a 50 ml bottle which is priced at Rs. 999. Yes, it sounds a little bit expensive if you look at it from the longevity perspective. However, if you can ignore that and be ready to carry it around with you in a small decant, then you should be good to go. Moreover, this didn’t last great on my husband’s skin, but it may surely do great on your skin as longevity depends heavily on body chemistry as well. All Good Scents does not have a huge offline presence at least where I live. So, the option is only online shopping for this and you can save some money as well if you buy it from Flipkart, Nykaa, Amazon or allgoodscents.com. Final Thoughts Well, a good perfume; a strong perfume indeed. However, according to me it cannot be fitted into the two categories I spoke about in the intro. This is kind of a third category which doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket, smells great but fails to perform as expected. Having said that I will also say that you need to give this a try at least once. As the scent is amazing and you can also check if this suits your personality and body chemistry better or not. |
