1 how exactly did you go about landing in the fragrance world? well, i’m actually an architect by trade and i specialized in historic preservation.after studying architecture, i’ve always been interested in scents and fragrances though.actually, working with historic buildings i was always very aware of the sent of certain places - old houses, stone buildings, wooden floors, etc.i would do research on a building or a city and i would come across an anecdote or a part of the story that led me to think: “what did it smell like?”in 2007, i met senior perfumer rodrigo flores-roux and we became good friends.since i was so curious, he offered to give me classes on perfume - this was an incredible opportunity, learning from one of the best in the industry.we did the classes once a week for a year and a half.he is my mentor and closest collaborator.
at a certain point, i decided i had to find a way for perfume to remain a constant in my life, to make it my own.i knew it had to be related to history, art and architecture, and to me they are much intertwined.and that is the story behind ARQUISTE.
