Amouage Arcus Sample
Arcus: test it before the full bottle
Amouage Arcus is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

How it unfolds
-
Without a pyramid
We have the name and the house of Arcus, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
-
Let us know
On request means we do not have Amouage Arcus ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
-
Small size, same perfume
What you get is Arcus in a glass spray vial, 2, 5 or 10 ml, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
When to wear Arcus is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
Who it is for
Arcus comes without an audience tag in our data. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
Why try Amouage Arcus as a sample first
Descriptions and reviews tell you how Arcus wears on other people; only a sample tells you how it wears on you. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
What does the sample look like?
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Arcus the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Amouage Arcus, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Will Arcus be the same on me as on someone else?
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Amouage Arcus yourself before deciding.
The brand
About Amouage
Amouage has composed perfume in the Sultanate of Oman since 1983, with frankincense, myrrh and resins never far from the formula. Its Eau de Parfums are dosed between 20 and 30% perfume oil and aged for several weeks, so even the fresher ones carry weight on skin and change a lot over a day. That makes the house a textbook case for sampling: a 10 ml decant gives you time to live with the drydown before you choose a bottle.
- Founded in 1983 in the Sultanate of Oman; most perfumes are made in Muscat
- Eau de Parfum dosed at 15 to 35% perfume oil on the brand's own scale, Extrait at 40 to 56%
- Guidance 46 is an Extrait dosed at 46%; Outlands is an Essence at 30%, infused for six months

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
