A warm, bucolic bubble. ...

Enveloping, dense, deeply comforting and enchanting, a perfume for introverted pleasure. When I wear it I don’t need, or want anything.
It has a soft, peach skin suede like texture. There are floury woods; velvety sandalwood and some sharp cedar. A couple of fresh olives have dropped off the tree, the balmy wind rolling them around on the parched earth, bruising them and coaxing out their creaminess. The slightly rugged, green and gorgeous patchouli is central and gives it a bit of an edge amongst lots of rich tonka and a some smooth vanilla adding a little sweetness. Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse of gentle, powdery flowers (violets, heliotrope?) whispering on warm skin.
The facets of this liquid seem ensouled, they become real, animated in the smelling of them, they paint a picture, it’s friendly, rounded, soothing and has depth. It has an ample, long and lovely dry down. This is one of my most loved and frequently worn perfumes.

Arbolé Arbolé. ... She’s not bothered about what’s going on around her, she’s perfectly content in her own warm, bucolic bubble.

Edit 16/3 ~ I was eating some raw almonds whilst wearing Arbolé and I'm sure I smelled a soft, unsweetened almond note in there. I'm also wondering if there is a rice tincture in this perfume (in all of Hiram Green's perfumes actually) Mmm... lovely.

Vanilla Woods

This simple perfume is very well done, vanilla accenting the subtle sides of each of the woods. It feels on the feminine side, perhaps because of the vanilla and tonka. Like the other Hiram Green perfumes, nothing here assaults the nose. The name means Tree, Tree after a poem by Frederiko Garcia Lorca. I looked it up. The first and last lines are: Tree, tree; dry and green. But the poem's not about trees, it's about a girl ignoring potential suitors as she picks olives. Oh well. I could and would wear this agreeable scent, were I not more in love with Hiram Green's incredible Voyage.

Queasily uneasily pretty

Hiram Green’s Arbolé is not what I expected from the verdant liquid pictured in the bottle. This is a woody anise, a waxy vanilla, a sweet, powdery heliotrope. A lot of reviewers describe this as luxe and cozy and elegant and I think I get that, but there’s something skin-crawling and unsettling that lies beneath. It’s the unreliable narrator in the best-selling domestic-noir thriller; she’s posh, privileged, possibly lives in a Parisian apartment or a luxury flat in London. She’s either in a troubled marriage or she’s grieving her dead husband and/or child, she’s isolated, she’s probably self-medicating and not always terribly lucid, she’s paranoid or is she being gaslit, she’s spying on the neighbors, she’s playing detective, she’s too smart for her own good but too late to figure out she’s been trusting the wrong person. She backs herself into a corner and rarely comes full circle, or even out on the other side of things. The scent of fear and anxiety exuded by these women as they make their way through the twists and turns of these stories? It is the fragrance of Arbolé’s queasy, uneasy prettiness.

Soft green vanilla

I have tried it little yet but I describe it as a smell similar to F. Malle's Musc Ravageur which at first is a little "green" for me, compared to the amber tone of the aforementioned.
If it is woody, it will be more like the end and in a sweet sense. I would say more floral than woody.
The most interesting thing for me is the turn that a well-developed evolution takes, at least on my skin.
It could be a nice vanilla scent to be able to wear in warm, daytime environments where other sweeter perfumes maybe someone wouldn't use.
It is not particularly outstanding in performance in a quality niche context, that is, something medium in lasting, but a weak silage.
For lovers of soft and very discreet natural perfumes it will be more suitable than for those who prefer to wear a perfume for hours.

Tonka overdose

The more I smell it, the more I think it reminds me of an array of fragrances that I’ve tried before, yet it is very hard to recall which ones Arbole reminds me of.

At first, I thought it resembles Zino by Davidoff with their soft, “golden” (I don’t know why this adjective comes up in my mind, but I can’t get rid of it) patchouli and salvia mix.

After less than an hour, however, I quickly realized it’s not Zino at all as almondy tonka is being placed in the spotlight too soon to my taste. It is a pleasant tonka chord that reminds me of a thickened version of Guerlain’s discontinued Tonka Imperiale: I think vanilla makes tonka here more syrupy compared to Guerlain’s take on tonka beans.

Very odd yet not unpleasant. Perhaps too sweet to my nose but I will have to give it another try during colder months.
