Arquiste- Scent as a Time Capsule
While we often associate scent with a place and time- Arquiste’s founder Carlos Huber, who specializes in Historic Preservation, perfected scent as a time capsule. Arquiste is a fragrance collection that transports the wearer to evocative moments in history. It can invoke our most intimate memories and dreams, and open doors to distant worlds. Travel through time with Arquiste’s capsule collection that draws inspiration from the romance of yesteryear.
L’Etrog captures Calabria, in October 1175 with strong notes of citron and palm leaves. Flor y Canto was inspired by August 1400 Tenochtitlan, Mexico when flowers are in their abundance during the Aztec calendar. Fleur de Louis bridges the French Spanish border from June 1660 with the strong florals of France mixed with the woodiness of the Basque region. Aleksander draws its dramatic conclusion from the fateful duels fought in January 1837 in St Petersburg, Russia.
Sold at Barneys, Saks, The Webster, Aedes de Venustas, and A’Maree.
