Swiss Arabian Fragrance review

Swiss Arabian Echoes of St. Moritz Review 2026

A cold-weather aromatic woody extrait with leather, wintery vetiver, and a sharp, airy profile.

By Vivir · · Updated
Swiss Arabian has added a new unisex extrait de parfum to its lineup: Echoes of St. Moritz. Released in 2026, the fragrance is priced at $111 USD and was composed by Sébastien Martin and Philippine Courtière. According to Fragrantica, it is classified as a unisex scent with an overall community rating of 4.22 out of 5 from 23 votes at the time of writing. Swiss Arabian positions it as an aromatic woody fragrance, and the note pyramid leans into cold-weather freshness, aromatic herbs, and a leathery woody base. Echoes of St. Moritz arrives with a clear point of view. Its opening is built around frozen mandarin, bergamot, grapefruit, and iced red berries, giving it a chilled citrus sparkle rather than a sweet or syrupy fruit start. The heart moves through cypress, crispy apple, cassis, wild artemisia, and elemi, which adds a green, herbal, and slightly spicy character. The base is where the extrait concentration really shows: wintery vetiver, leather, alpine cedarwood, moss, patchouli, amber, Sympep, musk, and vanilla create a grounded, slightly animalic warmth that lasts well beyond the opening. The fragrance has already drawn comparisons in the community. Reviewers repeatedly identify it as an inspiration of Gissah Imperial Valley with God of Fire DNA in the opening, so those are listed as similar fragrances rather than clones. No established clone alternatives of Echoes of St. Moritz exist yet given its 2026 release. Performance data is not officially published by Swiss Arabian, but user reports suggest 8+ hours of longevity with moderate to strong sillage. Projection is described in reviews as airy and sharp up close rather than a room-filler. That makes it a versatile office-to-evening option for fall and winter, with acceptable wear in spring and summer.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0–30 minutes opens with a chilled burst of bergamot, frozen mandarin, grapefruit, and iced red berries. Reviewers describe it as sharp and airy up close, with a winter-fresh quality rather than a syrupy fruit opening.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

From roughly 1–2 hours, the heart turns aromatic and green: cypress, crispy apple, cassis, wild artemisia, and elemi add a herbal, slightly spicy character. The fruit recedes, and the composition feels more outdoorsy and brisk.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After 4+ hours, the base settles into wintery vetiver, leather, alpine cedarwood, moss, patchouli, amber, Sympep, musk, and vanilla. The leather and woods give it a grounded, slightly animalic warmth, while vanilla and amber soften the edges. It remains close to moderate in projection.
