boy, it smells good in here again, boy!

the most natural and yet most intense lavender perfume I have ever smelled.
the extraordinarily authentic coffee note (from Aaron Terence Hughes' specially made tincture of real coffee beans) gives more depth, but should have been much more concise for my taste.
While I'm wearing Arabica a colleague from work comes into the anteroom and shouts "boa smells good again! Boy! " from a distance of about 10 meters, so Sillage seems to be particularly good.

Lavender & Coffee

When it came to Arabica, Aaron wasn't even sure if the fragrance would become permanently available. Rather than a nice gesture, a 10ml bottle of the fragrance was enclosed with an order placed just over a month ago. I have worn this very, very often since then, because it is actually not such a typical ATH - and yet perfectly bears Aaron's signature.

The fragrance opens with a wonderful, real Landel. Warm, soft, flowery and yet not too floral, which is what I like very much about lavender as a fragrance and plant. The sandalwood radiates very early from the base and melts into a very special connection with the lavender.

Only after a good hour do nuances of harmonious coffee tones become apparent. Here too, Aaron uses genuine, homemade coffee tincture and gives the soft fragrance a nice coffee touch.

Especially about this fragrance, I find that it reminds me just a little bit of SM Café by Prin Lomros. It "pops" massively and seems almost synthetically exaggerated, while Arabaica is completely withdrawn and deeply relaxed. Especially this calm one is rather unusual for ATH fragrances, as the perfumer likes the strong projection as one of his trademarks.

With 20% fragrance oil content, the fragrance still oscillates between EDP and extract. It radiates a warmth that really captivates without showing off.

I would like more of these very natural scents from Aaron.

He's just good at it.
