Gritti Noctem Arabs is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Luca Gritti. Noctem Arabs opens with Cedar, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Myrrh. Gritti's Noctem Arabs carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a divisive take on the warm, woody oriental. Its oud-tobacco-amber combo is loved by some for its smooth depth, but others find it too sweet or even unfinished. It’s certainly not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you like a robust, long-lasting scent, this one's a contender.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent projection and intense oud-tobacco accords make it too strong for the office, but perfect for evenings out or events where you want to make a statement. The opulent character might be a bit much for casual daytime wear, but it shines in formal or romantic settings.

About

Noctem Arabs opens with a deep, earthy hit of cedar and patchouli, quickly joined by a rich, smoky tobacco. As it settles, a prominent oud accord emerges, softened by a sweet balsamic amber and warm, powdery myrrh. The drydown sees a gentle musk blend with the lingering woodiness, creating a complex, dark, and sophisticated aura.
