It Is by Arno Sorel is a fruity floral with a sweet, woody base. Plum, mirabelle and grapefruit give it a juicy opening, then jasmine, neroli, hyacinth and black currant fill out the heart before vanilla, benzoin, vetiver and ylang-ylang soften the dry-down. This looks better suited to shoppers who enjoy fuller fruity florals rather than very fresh or transparent styles. The.

The available votes suggest above-average wear, with most leaning long lasting and strong in sillage. It may project clearly, especially early on, and can feel more like an evening scent than a quiet daytime floral. A sample is still wise if you prefer softer projection.

BASE

It Is reads as a sweet fruity floral with woody support and a warm vanilla finish. The plum and mirabelle opening looks juicy and rounded, grapefruit adds a brighter edge, the heart leans white floral and slightly green, and the base softens into vanilla, benzoin, ylang-ylang and vetiver.

The fruity accord seems plush rather than crisp, supported by sweetness and a noticeable woody backbone. White floral and yellow floral tones likely add creaminess and lift through the middle, while the vanilla accord stays anchored by benzoin and vetiver so the dry-down feels warm and textured instead of purely sugary.

Fragranxe Review

EDITORIAL
“Arno Sorel It Is Review”

It Is by Arno Sorel is a fruity floral that seems built around sweetness, soft woods and white flowers. On paper, the structure is straightforward and easy to understand. Juicy plum and mirabelle bring the fruit, grapefruit adds some lift, and the base turns warmer with vanilla, benzoin, vetiver and ylang-ylang.

The opening is likely the most playful part of the fragrance. Plum and mirabelle suggest a rounded, slightly jammy fruitiness rather than a tart or watery one, while grapefruit keeps it from feeling completely dense at the start. If you enjoy fruity florals with a visible sweet edge, this profile makes immediate sense. If you prefer something drier or more sparkling, it may feel a little full.

In the heart, the fragrance appears to move into white florals with extra texture from black currant and cedar. Jasmine, neroli and hyacinth should give it a floral body that feels more dressed than casual, while cedar keeps the sweetness from becoming too soft. That balance matters here. Without the woods and the greener floral tones, the composition could have leaned overly sugary. Instead, it looks like a richer fruity floral with some shape and contrast.

The dry-down is where It Is probably becomes smoother and more settled. Vanilla and benzoin usually bring warmth and a lightly resinous sweetness, while vetiver adds structure underneath. Ylang-ylang can make the base feel creamier and more rounded. Taken together, the finish sounds less bright than the opening and more enveloping, which fits the available votes that lean toward stronger sillage and long wear.

Performance is one of the more confident parts of the available evidence. The current votes point to long lasting longevity and strong projection, with some users placing it even higher. That does not guarantee the same result for every wearer, but it does suggest that It Is is not aiming for a light, skin-scent style. It may be best approached with a controlled spray count, especially if you are wearing it indoors or in warmer weather.

In terms of use, this profile looks more comfortable in the evening than in the heat of the day. The seasonal and day-part votes lean toward fall, winter and night, which fits the sweeter fruity body and warm base notes. It may work well for dinners, going out, or cooler-weather daily wear if you like fragrance with more presence. For very hot climates or office settings that call for something airy and discreet, sampling first would be the sensible move.

It Is seems most suitable for someone who wants a fruity floral that feels warm, noticeable and traditionally feminine without turning fully gourmand. The composition has enough wood, floral detail and vetiver in the base to keep it from reading like candy, but sweetness is still central to the experience. If that is your taste, it looks promising. If not, this is probably one to test before buying.

Dupes & Alternatives

COMMUNITY DUPESCORE

There is not enough solid comparison evidence to make a confident dupe claim. The safest guidance is style-based: if you usually enjoy sweet fruity florals with white flowers, woods and vanilla, this sits in that general lane. If you want a fresher or less sweet take on the category, compare it against lighter fruity florals rather than assuming a direct match.
