Arquiste - Peau
The nape of the neck, the idealized scent at a lover and a lost embrace. Peau is based on Roman Emperor Hadrian's memories of Antinoös, his lost lover. The soft, salty and musky scent evokes intimacy and the indescribable memory of skin.
Such was the love emperor Hadrian had for his favorite Antinoös, that he commissioned thousands of sculptures to memorialize him after his demise. Like the contours of a statue, the physical and spiritual presence of the body is likewise defined by a fragrant silhouette. Here is the emperor recalling his lover: the touch and smell of him, the warm redolence of skin, the soft musk at the nape of the neck. Paying tribute to the beloved, like Hadrian did Antinoös, this fragrance captures the memory of skin, conjuring intimacy and closeness, and living in our hearts and minds as an idealized scent.

Our customers say
- Many users appreciate the musky, woody, and complex nature of the scent, noting it as elegant, sophisticated, and even sexy.
- While some reviewers found the perfume to be too intense or too masculine, others loved its strong staying power and unique scent profile, describing it as a 'your skin but better' fragrance.
- A few users mentioned the scent having a peppery or alcohol-heavy opening, which can be off-putting initially, but many found it mellows into a more pleasant aroma on the dry down.
- Some people felt the scent was more suitable for layering or preferred by those who enjoy bold, unisex fragrances rather than sweet or floral ones.
