Fragrance snobs, prepare to be blown away. Niche perfumerie Arquiste set out to create “concept scents” that recreate specific moments in history, and the results are nothing short of remarkable. Together with famed perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, founder Carlos Huber put in countless hours of painstaking research to create Flor y Canto, a scent that evokes an Aztec summer festival in Tenochtitlan circa 1400. Wear it to be transported to a dimly lit temple altar filled with fresh flowers.
I first received a sample of this sent in a box over a year ago and only recently took the plunge to purchase it. The scent is truly intoxicating. The words soft, feminine, sunshine, warm, white, breezy (...to name a few) come to mind to describe this scent. And the packaging is very luxe too - I kept the box out on a shelf - it looks fancy ;-)
Yes, it is pricey, but worth it!
I got this sample ages ago and fell in love. I didn't want to use it because I thought it would be forever until I could actually afford the full-sized bottle. I finally did get it and it has been my go-to scent all summer long! A little goes a long way. It is a light, fresh floral that lasts all day.
