  I’ve tested it a little, but it smells similar to F. Malle’s Musc Ravageur; at first, it’s a bit more ‘green’ than that fragrance’s amber tone. The performance isn’t spectacular for a quality niche, but it delivers, let’s say, something average. If it’s woody, it’ll be at the end, with a sweet touch. What interests me most is the twist it gives, at least on my skin, with a well-developed evolution.

  This is my third Hiram Green try-after Moon Bloom and Slowdive, and the quality of natural ingredients is evident in every nuance. The brand bets on minimalism that doesn’t subtract beauty. Arbolé is a sweet patchouli with green, soapy, and powdery facets, where the tonka bean (coumarin) shines with its spicy and peppery touch, plus a hint of beeswax that recalls Slowdive. That coumarin sets it apart from other patchoulis like Coromandel, though I don’t detect the cedar or sandalwood. It’s unisex, elegant, and super versatile, with good sillage and over 10 hours of longevity. Inspired by Lorca’s poem, though I don’t see the parallelism; I expected something more aromatic, green, and with a touch of rose, but I do detect that mentioned Mediterranean salty halo. Despite liking it a lot and nailing the patchouli and tonka, I’m not putting it among my favorites right now, so I won’t buy the full bottle, but it’s an excellent quality option if you’re looking for something like this. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 8/10, Value 7/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? No, I didn’t.
