Nocturnality
Arquiste
Regular price
£235.00
Format
A latex and leather 'oud-style' scent. A perfumer’s take on neon-soaked nightlife, the leather scene and raw, nocturnal behavior. With notes of latex, neoprene leather, black shoe shine, hydrocarboresin and styrax.
October 1996, New York City.
In the neon-soaked nights of downtown New York, a young perfumer roams the city after dark, chasing inspiration. The humid air carries hints of spilled booze, cigarette smoke, and the sweat of bodies moving in underground clubs. He meets a man who drifts through the scene like a ghost, his scent a mix of neoprene, leather boots, and something undefinable. Drawn into the city’s after-hours underbelly— where lust and abandon blend into an intoxicating mix —he absorbs the essence of the night. But as he does, he realizes he’s not just capturing that prevalent, sexual scent—he’s losing himself in it.
Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
Top Notes: Latex / Neoprene accord, Indian papyrus essence, Malabar black pepper, Hyraceum (pierre d'Afrique)
Heart Notes: Black shoe shine accord, Bulgarian rose essence, Night-blooming animalic flowers, Black leather accord, Hydrocarboresin
Base Notes: Indonesian patchouli, Atlas cedarwood, Civet accord, Castoreum accord, Styrax essence
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.
