Venice Rococo
Regular price
£195.00
Format
Based on authentic 18th century cosmetic formulas; a coquettish, powdery floral capturing the decadence of Rococo Venice, its pastel-colored interiors and libertine affairs. Black violet, blush rose, and chamomile nestled on an impossibly soft base of dusty iris and subtle, animalic amber.
September 1757, Casino Venier, Venice.
In a hidden alley in the heart of Venice lies a small ridotto, a secret apartment for intimate affairs. A rosewood door opens to a pastel-colored room of powder pink, pale green and pearl white. Suspended in a perfumed cloud of violet, rose and iris, stucco carvings of frothy clouds, delicate garlands and mischievous cherubs appear to dance in the gentle flicker of candlelight. Amidst this sensory haven, the strains of a mandolin emanate mysteriously from behind a wall, the musician concealed from prying eyes. The subtle background melody intertwines with the hushed conversations and shared laughter of two lovers, enveloping them in the enchantment of their clandestine encounter.
Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
Top Notes: Roman chamomile, Upcycled Turkish rose water (proprietary production), Hawthorne, Aldehydes,
Heart Notes: Poudre à la Maréchale powdery accord, Moroccan orange flower absolute, Black violet accord, Cumin essence
Base Notes: Animalic amber, Iris germanica extract, Civet accord, French Jasmine absolute
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.
