Arenizca Casa del Perfume Canario

It is not so easy to evaluate and describe a fragrance when you are the first one, and generally not so good at smelling out scents. You can see the perfumer's art behind the fragrance, it seems quite natural and not at all synthetic. I was also told during my visit to the perfumery in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that they use only natural ingredients - except for alcohol and odourless "boosters" to extend the shelf life.

Arenizca starts green-spicy. These are probably the spices in the top note ;). And a bit herbaceous. All in all I would describe the fragrance as green-spicy-herbal. In addition, I hear something that comes across as slightly musty. I guess the amber = amber note is responsible for that. If I make an effort, I notice coffee mixed with something slightly spicy and pungent. The smell is not sweet at all. It is rather rough, slightly tart and masculine.

I had it listed here and as far as I remember there was no gender information on the manufacturer's website, so it is unisex here. But according to the saleswoman it is a man scent. The scent is interesting and unique. It is not so easy to compare it with only one scent, but to give you an idea:

Lay Bracken Man, Green Irish Tweed and A*Men Pure Havane with 40% Bracken and 30% each of the other two and you get 70% Arenizca. Alright?! ;D

The durability is ok, it stays longer on the skin, but is a little sillage-like. I would not recommend a blind purchase, the fragrance is too special for that. But those who are travelling in Las Palmas should in any case plan a little visit to the perfumery, they always have a nice selection of interesting scents and regularly update their assortment. This also means that they reformulate fragrances or remove them from the assortment.
