I have no interest in Loukhoum though I like the candy ... tried Serena Ava Franco's take on it, and meh ... plus I loathe almond in hand cream and other products, so suspect Loukhoum would leave me cold. The Iris Ganache sounds interesting but not for me. Fou d'Absinthe is on my list to try. Now to Arabie ... the first SL I tried was Chergui. Disaster on me. There was something highly unpleasant about it on my skin. I've recently tried Arabie and Fumerie Turque. The latter's on my must have list, Arabie is on my near miss list. As a former pipe smoker, the Arabie association for me wasn't with fruit cake but with certain dried-fruit soaked Danish or English blends that feature Latakia that I used to favor. If Fumerie Turque is a fruited Virginia-Turkish tobacco blend, Arabie is smoky Latakia and the richest boozy Christmas pudding you can imagine. I don't get the cumin note at all. Fumerie Turque is something I'd wear through the colder months. Arabie is something I'd trot out once in a while, particularly around the holidays. I like 'em both, but Fumerie Turque is my fave. But if someone has a bottle of Arabie they'd like to lay on me, I certainly wouldn't turn it down...
