Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau De Parfum Spray 50ml

Product Information

If you're going for the clean-girl aesthetic, I think this would be along the lines of what you're looking for. In my opinion it smells deeply synthetic, particularly on my skin but also when spritzed in the air. The solar notes are warm and comforting- however, the salty, almost Oxonian aspects of this fragrance ruin it for me.

I didn’t get much creaminess, more of a dusty floral with sharp notes on top of something green and woody. I want to try this again, because I just really enjoyed that opening, but damn I don't know if I can take the dry down. I've never been to Arizona, but I do need to unplug more often, and fragrance is one of my favorite tools for reflection. This is really nice,it's weird like light but rich, sweet but dry, fresh but has depth, it really reminds me of something I can't put my finger on it and it's bugging me, it's not one of the fragrances listed. The dry down is very very similar to Beach Walk and being that I bought this perfume for 18 bucks, I think it’s a steal.It’s as if they created a great cactusy, dusty, ozonic, after a monsoon type of scent and then somebody panicked that it wouldn’t sell so they dumped in a bunch of fruit. I believe it is the cactus flower and the strong solar notes not playing nicely on my skin, though I have worn other solar scents with greater success - looking at you, Tom Ford.

On your skin, it feels both warm and breezy, a feminine scent without any sugary, fruity, or tropical implications. After 2 hrs the harsh annoying sweet smell fades and you can smell rose, jasmine and musk with few other notes combined and the scent is bearable OK at that point. Immediately reminded me of Beach Walk by Maison Margiela, just less creamy with a prominent strawberry at the top.

I’m still working out the notes here because it’s a little jumbled and complicated but I still like how it shakes out. I love woody scents, sandalwood and coconut combos are probably my favorite fragrance genre, but that isn't what Arizona is. I blind bought this fragrance reluctantly, as it isn't the cheapest, but I NEEDED to know what this smelled like as the reviews were confusing and mixed, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought it smelled familiar and low and behold thank you Fragrantican's yes it does smell very much like my bottle of Sun Di Gioia. I got a sample of this ages ago and just ignored it until I needed to go away for a weekend and grabbed it.

It has moderate sillage and good staying power: I applied Arizona at 9 in the morning, and I thought it had faded away by the afternoon, but apparently I was wrong. Proenza Schouler recently launched its debut fragrance, Arizona, a "radiant" scent that conjures "feelings of liberation to find a greater truth. It smells rather generic and just fruity sweet (in a Britney Spears Fantasy way) for the first few hours, and then a salt accord comes out to make it more interesting, but overall it just doesn't smell natural which makes it feel juvenile. This complex scent is perfect for daytime or nighttime wear, and it was inspired by the energy of the sonoran desert. now though, after about 4 hours, when I sniff my arm I don't get anything remarkable, but as I move about doing what I need to, I get whiffs of beautiful lipstick and powder.

Floral-woody-musky combinations, such as this one, are reminiscent of the woodland pairing wild forest flowers with more earthy tones for a very natural-smelling result. A lot of people in here say they can’t smell any sort of green smell, but i definitely do get that from the cactus flower. It is like a fairy tale, just powdery enough, flowery enough, fresh just right, and sweet to the perfection.
