About Arcana Wildcraft Strigoi
Arcana Wildcraft Strigoi is an unusual unisex fragrance released in 2013.
This release comes from the American brand Arcana Wildcraft, known for its artistic approach and fascination with images of wilderness, magic, and independent perfumery.
The name Strigoi sets a mystical mood, but the composition reveals itself not through dark heaviness, but through an expressive combination of floral and green nuances.
This fragrance will appeal to those who enjoy unconventional perfumes with a distinctive personality and do not want to disappear into familiar mainstream accords.
Character and scent profile
Rose, violet, and hemp weed are at the heart of the composition.
The floral facet makes the fragrance recognizable and emotive, while the green botanical nuance adds a raw natural quality, a touch of strangeness, and the feeling of a living wild garden.
Strigoi does not come across as a carefree romantic bouquet: it contains a contrast between the softness of the floral notes and a greener, more herbaceous accent.
This distinctive quality sets the fragrance apart from straightforward floral compositions and makes it appealing to fans of niche formulas.
Who it suits and when to wear it
The perfume is presented as unisex, so its character is not tied to traditional ideas of women’s or men’s perfumery.
It may particularly appeal to those who choose fragrances based on mood, texture, and expressiveness rather than gender labels.
Its green-floral character works well for spring and summer, walks, creative gatherings, and occasions when you want to leave a memorable impression.
At the same time, its very strong sillage makes Strigoi a noticeable companion: apply it carefully, especially in small spaces and hot weather.
Concentration and application
The exact concentration of Arcana Wildcraft Strigoi is not specified in the available information, nor are there any official recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing.
Given its reported very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount on the skin and assess how it develops after a few minutes.
When applying it to clothing, be especially careful: fabric may retain the scent longer than skin.
For a more delicate effect, one spray from a distance is enough; for a more pronounced impression, you can apply it to pulse points without layering on too much of the composition.

They do not replicate Strigoi literally, but may appeal to fans of rose, violet, and a pronounced floral character.
