Proenza Schouler Arizona ~ fragrance review

Posted by Jessica on 11 June 2018 24 Comments

Proenza Schouler recently launched its debut fragrance, Arizona, a “radiant” scent that conjures “feelings of liberation to find a greater truth. . . a respect and love of nature, and a sense of unbridled freedom.” Arizona was developed by perfumers Loc Dong and Carlos Benaïm and includes notes of white cactus flower, orange flower, orris, jasmine, solar accord, musk and cashmeran.

I’ve actually had the sample for a bit, but it’s mostly just sat there, waiting while I reviewed other, more likely candidates. The folks over at Paco Rabanne have done a great job of keeping the brand relevant with the youth market, but have not shown much interest, so far, with the not-youth market, which of course includes me, and partly explains why the lack of interest is pretty much mutual. I did review Black XS For Her (way back in 2007) but I skipped Lady Million altogether.
