Herbaceous Canarian Niche Fragrance for Men
It’s not easy to evaluate and describe a fragrance when you are the first one to do so, and generally not very good at picking out scent notes. You can recognize the perfumer's art behind the fragrance; it feels quite natural and not synthetic at all. I was also told during my visit to the perfumery in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that they only use natural ingredients - apart from alcohol and a scent-neutral "booster" to extend longevity.
Arenizca starts green-spicy. Those are probably the spices in the top note ;). And a bit herbaceous. Overall, I would describe the fragrance as green-spicy-herbaceous. Additionally, I perceive something that comes across as slightly musty. I suspect that the amber note is responsible for this. If I concentrate, I can also detect coffee later on, mixed with something slightly spicy and pungent. The fragrance is not sweet at all. It is rather rough, slightly bitter, and masculine. Towards the end, it smells a bit like hay that is still unrolled in the field after a rain shower.
I had it listed here, and as far as I remember, there was no indication of gender on the manufacturer's website, which is why it is categorized as unisex here. However, according to the saleswoman, it is a men's fragrance. The scent is interesting and unique. It’s not easy to compare it to just one fragrance, but to give you a rough idea:
Layer Bracken Man, Green Irish Tweed, and A*Men Pure Havane with 40% Bracken and 30% each of the other two, and you will get about 70% Arenizca. Clear?! ;D
The longevity is decent; it stays on the skin longer but holds back a bit in terms of sillage. I wouldn’t recommend a blind buy, as the fragrance is too specific. However, anyone visiting Las Palmas should definitely plan a small visit to the perfumery; they always have a nice selection of interesting fragrances and regularly update their range. This also means that they reformulate or discontinue fragrances.
