The verdict
Best for
Arquiste is a New York niche perfume house founded by architect and historian Carlos Huber, whose defining conceit is that every fragrance is built from a specific moment in history, a date, a place, an event, reconstructed as scent. The 18 live pieces on Scendira average .92, are almost exclusively unisex (16 of 18), and split across Fresh (5), Floral (4), Leather (3), Gourmand (2). Prices span $40-$225 (average $109). Standout live pieces: A Grove by The Sea ($105,.15, salty green olives, cypress air, sunlit herbs), Indigo Smoke ($40,.09, smoky tea, apricot jam and cedar incense), El ($105,.07, green herbs and honeyed spice with leathery moss), L'Etrog ($125,.06, sunny lemon and citruses with jasmine) and L'Or de Louis ($45,.03, powdery jasmine honey with lightly smoky cedar woods). Buy Arquiste when the concept-history hook itself is part of what you want to wear.
