ARQUISTE | VENICE ROCOCO
“A coquettish, powdery floral capturing the decadence of 18th century Venice, its rococo interiors and clandestine 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.

Opulent orris, the blue gold of perfumery, glimmers like precious stardust, before intertwining with sensual patchouli, honeyed tonka bean and leathery Bourbon vanilla, evoking the inviting warmth of a starlit night. Celestial Aura: Delphinus is a luminous amber fragrance that mirrors the magnificence of a star-adorned sky. Resinous incense sets a smoky stage for precious orris to shine bright, while leathery Bourbon vanilla rounds off the composition capturing the warmth of a starlit night.

Imagining balmy sunsets by Lake Garda, Italy, being gently lulled by the tranquil sounds of water and contemplating the magic of the hour. The lake shimmering in the sunshine as gold gradually becomes a spectacular kaleidoscope of amber.
