Arcadia takes its name from the mythical paradise of ancient Greece. Two essential materials shape this perfume: iris and olibanum. Iris, with its powdery texture, offers a serene, almost mineral elegance anchoring the perfume to the earth. Olibanum’s burning resin envelopes the composition in sacred stillness, an appeal to the heavens. Bittersweet tonka bean and smoky vetiver weave in additional mystery.
Perfumer: Paul Guerlain
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Arcadia suits an unhurried moment after the noise has subsided: a wool sleeve, a quiet room, conversation kept close. Powdery iris lends restraint, while smoky vetiver and olibanum give that stillness warmth and a slightly austere edge.
How to wear
The warm resins and powdery woods suggest cooler days and mild evenings. Start with one or two sprays on skin, letting the iris–olibanum contrast settle before adding more. Apply beneath clothing for a more intimate effect; in warmer weather, keep the dose light.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to mineral iris, contemplative incense and woody fragrances with a savory rather than overtly sweet character. It will appeal to tastes that favor powdery texture and restrained warmth, with tonka providing a bittersweet counterpoint to smoky vetiver.

The nose
Paul Guerlain composed Arcadia around the contrast between iris and olibanum. Powdery, mineral textures meet warm resin, while tonka bean and vetiver give the composition its bittersweet, smoky depth.
Otzlab’s story
OTZ LAB brings OTEYZA’s fashion vocabulary into author-led perfumery, combining Madrid roots and Spanish craftsmanship with an experimental approach to tradition. Perfumers are given creative freedom, while contrasts in materials, color and industrial design connect the fragrances to the house’s visual identity.
Arcadia’s concept
Arcadia belongs to OTZ LAB’s debut collection of olfactory extensions of OTEYZA’s fashion collections. Its name recalls both the house’s Arcadia clothing collection and an imagined paradise of ancient Greece. Iris and olibanum translate that vision into a dialogue between mineral earthiness and resinous warmth, expressing nature as a place of balance and reconnection.
Extra info
Arcadia’s bottle and packaging belong to a visual system designed by Lavernia & Cienfuegos, combining brutalist steel, laboratory-like glass and Constructivist-inspired graphics. Despite its nature-centered inspiration, the formula follows OTZ LAB’s approach of using both natural and synthetic ingredients.
