Misfit

Patchouli reclaimed: rebellious, refined and unapologetically elegant. Misfit by Arquiste centers on patchouli in its most elegant form. Inspired by outsiders and rule-breakers, it blends earthy richness with smooth woods, warm resins and sensual spices. Developed with perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, it transforms a classic note into something contemporary and unforgettable. The Story The concept follows things that go in and out of fashion. Patchouli was once prized, carried on Kashmiri shawls, then fell out of favor with the bourgeoisie, and Misfit reclaims it. Arquiste sets the scene in a September 1877 bedroom in Marseille, among bohemians and courtesans, with French lavender, musky ambers and exotic balsams. Developed with Rodrigo Flores-Roux. How It Smells Opening Calabrian bergamot, carrot seed, angelica root and French lavender open with an aromatic freshness. Heart Bulgarian rose, ambrette seed, Akigalawood and styrax add floral and woody warmth and a resinous edge. Dry Down Patchouli, a proprietary combination of two fractioned essences, is deep, smooth and slightly chocolatey, with cistus, tonka bean and tolu balsam adding creamy, sweet and resinous depth.
