arquiste

Founded in 2011 in New York by Carlos Huber, a Mexican-born architect and historic preservationist, Arquiste is a niche luxury fragrance house that translates historical moments into evocative scents. Huber’s background in architectural restoration directly informs the brand’s ethos, treating raw fragrance materials as structural elements to rebuild the olfactory landscapes of the past. Working with master perfumers like Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Calice Becker, Arquiste meticulously researches specific times and places—from a 17th-century Japanese galleon to a modernist garden in Mérida—to create its complex, narrative-driven perfumes.
