Carlos Huber, the creative impresario and aesthete behind Arquiste, originally comes from a background of historical preservation and architecture. It is this background that informs the rich tapestry of Arquiste.

A clever neologism, the word Arquiste combines art/artiste, architecture/arquitectura and archive, each one a driving influence and inspiration behind the collection.

Like the restoration of historical moments, each fragrance is an olfactory time capsule pertaining to a particular evocative moment or event in history, perfectly harnessing the seductive power of scent to conjure and express memory.

The Arquiste line has been developed in collaboration with perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier.
