In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotElla by Arquiste is a Chypre fragrance for women. Ella was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux.
Reviews →Nabeel Irth arrives as a dense, sweet-spicy scent that commands attention. Released in 2023, it merges a heavy dose of dried fruits, strawberry, and cinnamon with a dark base of leather, amber, and incense. It fits best in freezing winter weather, wrapping the wearer in a thick, warm shield of exotic spices and woods.
