86. Preserving History Through Perfume (w/ ARQUISTE® Founder Carlos Huber)

ARQUISTE® Founder Carlos Huber is in the Perfumer Room today! Carlos’ love of old cities led him to his first career as a Preservation Architect, but it was his fascination with how they smelled that led him to his second: as a fragrance developer and founder of an award-winning fragrance brand focused on preserving history and architecture through scent. You can also thank Carlos (as well as legendary perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, who, btw, personally trained him(!)) for the vacation in a bottle smell that is Vacation by Vacation Inc! Carlos shares so many fun personal stories including how he broke into the industry and *spoiler alert*: if you’re thinking about flaking out on upcoming lunch plans, don’t, because for him, that’s where it all began…  FRAGS MENTIONED: Givenchy Irresistible Rose Velvet, Amyris Femme, Kilian Flower of Immortality, Centauri Antheia, 4711, Agua Brava, Serge Lutens: Bois et Musc, Ambre Sultan; Gucci Envy, Arquiste Misfit, Tom Ford: Champaca Absolute, Neroli Portofino; Clinique Happy, Arquiste Boutonnière No. 7, Guerlain Jicky, Trudon Merida, Vacation EDT, Le Tan sunscreen, Arquiste Sydney Rock Pool, Robert Piguet Fracas, Frederic Malle Carnal Flower, Nenuco SHOP THIS EPISODE: https://shopmy.us/collections/127195 SHOP ARQUISTE: arquiste.com SHOP VACATION: https://www.vacation.inc/ FOLLOW: @arquiste @arquistecarlos @vacationinc FOLLOW PERFUME ROOM: @perfumeroompod (IG) @emma_vern (TT)
