In Arcana's vision of a people-free utopia, lush greenery engulfs cars first, then skyscrapers, then entire cities. An opening of green, humid vines, aromatic herbs, and wool absolute leads to a heart of petrichor, violet leaf, raw silk, soft musks, Arcana's hand-distilled rosemary, bright galbanum, moss, grass and salt. Vines Reclaim the World is an eau de parfum, edp.
All Arcana Wildcraft fragrances are indie, handmade, vegan, cruelty free, and free from phthalates, parabens, sulfates, endocrine disruptors, preservatives and silicones.
Reddit: First off, I’m not a huge green scent person. I know I like galbanum, and the Arcana silk note, though. This opens with a wallop of rosemary to the face. (Meh. I am meh on rosemary. It makes me think of roast chicken.) Happily, the rosemary backs off immediately and the petrichor, dark silk, and galbanum come out. The greenery, including the rosemary, all blend into a green haze. I’d say the petrichor, silk and galbanum are the strongest players as it dries. 4/5 Bonus Review on Vines: I share my scent obsession with my spouse- he has his own shelf lol. He LOVED Vines. He said it made him feel like “Rambo hunting The Predator in a jungle” in a gloriously ridiculous mixed metaphor there lol. He amps petrichor like crazy; it is definitely a unisex one. 5/5 for him.
Arcana Wildcraft: Wet woods. Yes. Love it. Damp but nice. Reminds me of playing outdoors as a kid when it was raining, in a heavily wooded area.
Arcana Wildcraft: This is not for those who want to smell like a delicate little flower! The rosemary goes on strong and may seem off putting at first but have patience. Once the Vinesare rubbed in, you’re left with a clean and softer scent. I usually associate rosemary with the winter holidays however, it gives a me fresh and clean feeling here in the heat and humidity of our southern summer.
Arcana Wildcraft: I am a huge fan of green, herbaceous fragrances and this one is no exception. It truly does capture a humid quality, I don’t know how else to describe it. This is a very special fragrance and I want to get another bottle before it goes away. I got compliments when I wore it to work.
