Arquiste - Indigo Smoke

For centuries, diligent monks in the Wuyi Mountains have grown tea and indigo plants in neatly terraced plantations. In 1646, their monasteries were attacked by Qing soldiers from the north. As the monks were forced to flee, they smoked batches of tea leaves over pinewood fire to preserve their crops. This would become the smoky lapsang souchong tea. Mixing with the fresh mountain air and the incense from nearby shrines, the intoxicating plumes of indigo smoke captured the colors of the Wuyi Mountains and their dramatic river narrows.

Our customers say
  • This fragrance has a unique blend of smoky tea and incense, which many find intriguing and perfect for fall or winter wear. It's described as gender-neutral and versatile for different occasions.
  • Some reviewers appreciate the complex dry down that reveals sweet notes of apricot and honey, providing a nice balance to the initially strong smoky scent.
  • While some describe it as reminiscent of an old church or a cozy campfire, a few people find the scent too much like bug spray or pine tar, which might not be for everyone.
  • The fragrance is praised for its longevity, with several users noting it lasts all day, but its intensity might be a bit overwhelming for those not used to strong, smoky scents.
This scent appeals to those who appreciate smoky, tea-based fragrances, offering a mysterious, gender-neutral aroma suitable for cool weather or cozy settings.

Think of a place and time in history and imagine what it smelled like.
This has been the source of inspiration for Carlos: tapping into scent to
unlock the past. His work as a fragrance developer includes the
signature scent for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, the nostagia-infused
Vacation sunscreens, and the first fine fragrance for J.Crew.
