Gritti Noctem Arabs is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. 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 woody-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.

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.
