Top notes are Pine Tree, Rosemary, Basil and Thyme; middle notes are Lavender and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Siam Benzoin, Oakmoss, Styrax and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha. ARC represents a confluence of Eastern and Western natural perfumery. Perfumers Antonio Lasheras and Rajesh Balkrishnan combine rare to obtain natural absolutes and create a fantastical mythical flowering plant that is fully contained in the bottled juice only as a unique fougere. Calming and spiritual, ARC takes its wearers to distant mountainous places where wild herbs and flowers caress the lofty pines.
