A juicy, decadent take on tropical fruits, flowers and woods. Inspired by a modernist garden in the balmy city of Mérida, Yucatán. A spritz of paradise. With notes of champaca blossoms, ripe guava, fresh ginger, Mexican vanilla and mahogany.
New Year’s Eve 2022, Mérida, Yucatán.
Fireworks light up the night sky of old Mérida, their glow reflecting on the rippling surface of a pool. Hidden behind an unassuming colonial facade lies this modernist oasis, where glass and travertine surfaces frame a garden brimming with life: palm trees, bird of paradise flowers, leafy ginger plants bordering the pool. A guava tree, heavy with ripe fruit, fills the air with sweetness, mingling with the heady scent of champaca blossoms and the deep aroma of tropical woods. Beneath the tree, a weathered Mayan idol lies half-buried, silently whispering the ancient stories woven into the everyday of this vibrant city.
Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
Top Notes: Mexican guava fruit, Yucatan lima, Fresh ginger, White plumeria
Heart Notes: Champaca absolute, Guava blossom, Jasmine sambac,
Base Notes: Guava paste accord, Mexican vanilla bean absolute, Radiant woody amber accord, Mahogany
Inspired by history and curated by Carlos Huber, a Mexican-born architect, restoration expert and fragrance designer, ARQUISTE® Parfumeur is a scent collection transporting you to evocative moments and historical sites.
Each scent restores a particular olfactive experience using rare ingredients identified through meticulous research.
