About the scentStory, mood, wear+

Why? opens with bergamot & apple, a fresh first impression. At its heart, sage & lavender add depth and character, while a base of amberwood & tonka bean leaves a long-lasting, luxurious trail.

An aromatic-fruity unisex fragrance, fresh & playful in character. Equally at home for everyday wear, date night, or casual.

How it compares: Why? is Arum Noir’s house interpretation of the bergamot & amberwood character admired by fans of Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP — the same spirit, crafted in-house and offered at a fraction of the price. An independent Arum Noir creation, not affiliated with or endorsed by any other fragrance house.
