Almond Suede

Almond marzipan and supple leather: soft, sensual, quietly luxurious. Almond Suede by Arquiste is a unisex gourmand leather eau de parfum where creamy bitter almond and honeycomb meet a velvety suede accord, saffron, orange flower and vanilla. Developed with perfumer Calice Becker, it is elegant yet comforting, sophisticated and intimate. The Story The perfume is inspired by medieval Andalusia, and especially Córdoba, where confectioners made almond marzipan scented with saffron and orange blossom while artisans crafted fine leather. Arquiste pairs the sweetness of the marzipan with the oaky character of leather as a symbol of cultural exchange, of harmony and sweetness. How It Smells Opening Pink peppercorn and Italian bergamot sparkle over honeycomb absolute and bitter almond oil, a delicate sweetness that opens the scent softly. Heart Cistus concrete, North African neroli, a saffron accord and an orange flower accord bring warm florals and a velvety, resinous depth. Dry Down Candied sugar and vanilla absolute melt into pine tar and a suede accord, leaving a creamy, smooth leather finish with a refined, modern edge rather than a heavy one.
