Niche line Arquiste has launched Almond Suede, a new unisex gourmand leather fragrance.
An addictive and sophisticated gourmand balancing almond marzipan and suede leather inspired by Medieval Andalusia, the city of Córdoba and almond sweets. A must try for gourmand lovers.
***
December 810, Córdoba, Al-Andalus / Sefarad, Spain.
In the golden age of Al-Andalus, confectioners crafted almond marzipan of unparalleled delicacy. The secret lay in the whispered exchange between Moorish and Spanish kitchens, transforming recipes of almond flour, sugar, saffron and orange blossom into an art. Nearby, within the vibrant streets of Córdoba, skilled artisans shaped leather into exquisite wonders. Thus, the velvety scent of marzipan commingled with the oaky Córdoba leather, their crafts a symbolic bridge between cultures and traditions, proving that even in the crucible of diverse rule, the sweetest symphonies could emerge from shared traditions.
Almond Suede was developed by perfumer Calice Becker. Additional notes include pink pepper, bergamot, honeycomb, cistus, neroli, vanilla and pine tar.
Arquiste Almond Suede is $205 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Another one! That makes three this year, quite unusual for the brand.
Yes!
Honeycomb and almond have my attention; very curious about how pine tar will waft in!
Yes, that pine tar made me pause…
I really like the DSH Sweet Pine Tar. I would love to try this one eventually.
And actually, I don’t expect this will smell much like pine tar. Their Indigo Smoke fragrance also contains pine tar on the note list.
Thank you Robin, since I adore my two Arquiste scents, I might try this new one in due course which might mean never.
Ha, possibly what it will mean for me too.
Love the notes. Carlos Huber is eye-candy for sure!
Yes, he definitely is eye-candy.
Ohh, this sounds so yummy. And I’m not even a gourmand-lover!
Hmm, the notes don’t appeal to me, but I’ve learnt that doesn’t tell me much about how the perfume actually smells, and I’m always keen to smell anything from Arquiste.
