Arquiste
Almond Suede
$205
Almond Suede is a luxurious, tactile fragrance that evokes the sensation of slipping on a soft suede glove. Bitter almond, honeycomb, and bergamot open with a nutty, gourmand tone, while pink pepper adds spice. The heart unfolds with a surprising urban elegance—concrete and saffron are softened by neroli, labdanum, and orange blossom. A smoky, resinous drydown of suede, pine tar, vanilla, and sugar lingers, creating a complex blend of sweetness and strength.
