Decorated Woods 10ml Introducing ‘Decorated Woods’, a fragrance that captures the changing seasons of a lush English woodland.

A base of amber, cedarwood and frankincense awaken the senses whilst patchouli, vetiver and moss add balanced richness. Infused with Baobab Oil.

No One Elsie 10ml Introducing ‘No One Elsie’, a fresh and elevated fragrance inspired by Adam’s grandmother’s English greenhouse. Opening with the crisp tartness of rhubarb, complemented by the green earthiness of tomato leaf. As the fragrance evolves, delicate notes of redcurrant and honeysuckle weave through whilst grounding vetiver and hints of palo santo provide depth. Infused with Baobab Oil.

Future Bloom 10ml Introducing ‘Future Bloom’, a genderful fragrance that celebrates uplifting notes of florals and freshness in an unexpected blend. Opening with a burst of zesty mandarin, succulent cassis and tart rhubarb, the fragrance develops into heart notes of jasmine and lily of the valley. Finally, a warm base of vanilla and white musk add a comforting universal sweetness. Infused with Baobab Oil.

A Kind Of Floral 10ml Introducing ‘A Kind of Floral’, a fragrance that merges subtle blossoms with the comfort of a warm hug. At the top, notes of pink pepper, white peach, and lemon create a vibrant and refreshing sweetness. Delicate orris, tuberose and orange flower bloom into sophisticated grounding notes of musk and sandalwood. Infused with Baobab Oil.

No one Elsie

LOVE this fragrance, my Nan was named Elsie and every time I wear it, I think of her. Tomatoes, Rhubarb and Honeysuckle combined make it a lovely unique fragrance. My favourite, not sure why there a couple of negative comments… I adore your fragrances!

Hi Clare, thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us. We love that No One Elsie brings a personal connection. it’s a fragrance full of feeling, and we’re so glad it’s found a place with you. Lizzie @ ARKIVE

Such beautiful multi- layered scents!

I’m so glad I purchased this set- I wear it every day! The scents are amazing- multi - layered, evolving and sophisticated. I even combine them! I choose my scents based on whether I want to be grounded, uplifted or joyous. Sadly ‘No one Elsie’ isn’t my cup of tea- only because I’m not a tomato plant fan - but that’s ok - as I gifted it to my mom! Love the other 3 and will buy the set again ❤️

Hi Helen,

Thank you so much for this amazing review- 5 stars no less! We’re so happy you’re loving all the scents and using them to match your mood, that’s exactly how we imagined they’d be enjoyed. I'm glad your Mom is a fan of No One Elsie and it found the right home!

Thanks again for taking the time to review us

An Educational Investment

I’ll admit that I momentarily regretted buying this tester selection - but that’s entirely my own fault. No One Elsie is too beautiful for any other scent to compare to it.

I’ve never worn any perfume or scent, but this Christmas I took the notion that I wanted to treat myself to a nice perfume. I tested every scent I could find in Jo Malone, even promising myself that I’d buy one if I liked it, despite being on a very tight university student budget. But nothing ever clicked.

Then, as a longtime user of the hair primer and blow dry spray, I had an epiphany when I saw an Arkive advert on Instagram.

I don’t aspire to use cheap body sprays or popular perfumes. But at the same time, I’m not able to splurge on a £100+ Diptyque perfume (and, even when I was going to defy my budget, none of them really spoke to me…) Now that I’m in my early twenties and aspiring to a bit more luxury and sophistication, (but am not yet chic enough to be dousing myself in Chanel No 5 everyday!), Arkive fills the gap in the market perfectly.

The scents smell classy, unique, and expensive. The bottles are (mostly) inoffensive (but more on that later!) At £30, they’re affordable yet they still feel luxurious. And none of my friends have even heard of the brand, let alone used the perfume.

Since scent is so personal, these are just my own observations - not criticisms:

No One Elsie – It’s beautifully classy, perfectly feminine while remaining unique and sophisticated. I've just ordered a 50ml bottle and now consider it my signature scent. I also love that my hair and skin will match (I’m a bit pedantic that way).

Decorated Woods – I also really liked this one. It’s more masculine and woody, and helped me realise that my tastes lean in that direction. Sometimes I layer No One Elsie and Decorated Woods—the combination is gorgeous. I might even treat myself to a big bottle of it next pay day!

The Floral Scents – These weren’t for me. They felt like quite stereotypical floral scents—overpowering and a bit like something my Granny might wear (to my untrained nose!) I’m using them up at work but wouldn’t repurchase. That said, if you love sweet, feminine, floral scents, they might be perfect for you. I’ve just realised I’m not a floral girl!

The (ONE) Con:
My only issue is with the bottle design. Personally, I’m not a fan of the smiley face on the top of the bottle lids. It feels out of place with the brand’s affordable luxury feel. The scents are so sophisticated and the rest of the products’ packaging so classy that the smiley face seems at odds with that. I know it’s a small detail - and maybe you’ll call me a Karen - but I’m a minimalist and as a result a bit of a perfectionist who curates EVERYTHING. The smiley face just doesn’t feel cohesive with the brand image to me. However, it’s not a big enough con to dissuade me from repurchasing.

In summary, this set has provided a brilliant introduction to scent for me. I think it’s an ideal gift/treat for someone searching for something a bit more elevated than a “So…” body spray, without the price tag of a luxury brand. I’ll definitely be repurchasing—my new 50ml bottle of No One Elsie that is currently on the way proves that!

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review – we loved reading your journey into fragrance! It’s brilliant to hear that No One Elsie has become your signature scent (and we totally get wanting your hair and skin to match!).

We’re also really happy that you’ve found Arkive to be the perfect balance between affordable luxury and individuality – that’s exactly what we aim for. Layering No One Elsie with Decorated Woods is such a good tip!

On your note about the smiley face detail, we really appreciate the honest feedback. It’s part of Adam’s playful creative touches, which we like to balance with our more elevated packaging and scent profiles. We’ll be sure to share your thoughts with our wider team as we’re always keen to hear feedback!

Thank you again for choosing Arkive and for the glowing recommendation!

Beautifully presented but not for me

The parcel came very quickly, and the packaging and presentation was lovely. But sadly, none of them were right for me at the moment.
