Arc-en-Ciel № 3
Fragrance notes
Arc-en-Ciel № 3 opens with a bright, sunlit citrus snap from bergamot, quickly joined by the juicy depth of black currant and a lush mix of tropical fruits. The fruit is sweet but not heavy, balanced by a clean, aromatic edge that keeps the start feeling fresh rather than syrupy. As the fragrance moves forward, the spotlight shifts to a soft floral heart where violet leads with its powdery, slightly candied character, supported by the airy lightness of peony and the crisp, dewy touch of freesia. This stage feels elegant and feminine without ever becoming overly formal or stiff.
The base brings a smooth, creamy sandalwood together with the earthy, green clarity of vetiver and a clean layer of musk. The wood and musk give the florals a steady foundation, allowing the powdery violet to linger in the background while the fresher peony and freesia notes continue to breathe. The overall impression is a polished blend of fruity brightness, floral softness, and woody calm that feels cohesive from the first spray to the final drydown.
The scent sits comfortably in the space between a casual daytime companion and a refined evening choice, especially when the air is warm and the mood is relaxed. It works beautifully for someone who enjoys a floral fragrance that carries a noticeable fruity and woody presence without losing its gentle, powdery elegance.
