Reported long wear; reported to project strongly. These are wearer reports from 4 venues.

Twenty of 32 counted reports describe more than seven hours of wear. Current flacons can be powerful, but dosing from a stopper differs from spraying, which limits comparisons with older bottles.

Your experience may vary with the amount applied, the weather and your skin. How we assess wearer reports.

Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to Arabie Eau de Parfum.

Some repeat owners describe current Arabie as softer or less complex, while other recent flacon buyers find familiar dried fruit, spice and all-day strength. Changes from export spray to Gratte-Ciel and table flacon document presentation history, without establishing a formula timeline.

A batch code alone does not establish which formula is in a bottle.

If you need to check a particular bottle, ask Serge Lutens or the retailer about its batch code and product details. Comparisons between bottles are not confirmation from the manufacturer.
