Arrakis is a rich, gourmand woody-spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a desert planet through layered tobacco, sweet amber, and earthy woods. It opens with bright citrus and aromatic herbs like grapefruit, thyme, and rosemary, quickly evolving into a complex heart of smoky tobacco, guaiac wood, patchouli, and vetiver. The base is enveloping and creamy, featuring tonka bean, amber, and musk, creating a warm, pillowy dry down. The scent feels deeply atmospheric—like wandering through a caravan under a starlit desert sky—bringing to mind both the literary world of Dune and the luxurious elegance of scent compositions such as Naxos and Carlysle. It features strong projection and excellent longevity, making it ideal for cool weather and night wear. Fans of bold, spicy tobacco fragrances will find it captivating and emotionally resonant.
