Arquiste

The Architects Club

I chose this scent based off the name at first TBH. I?m an architectural designer and thought it sounded cool. I came to scentbird because I had zero knowledge in terms of fragrance nor any clue what my go-to scent was and I?m happy to say, I?ve found it. This scent is rich and luxurious but never overbearing (when applied properly) and the absolute best part is that it lasts ALL day. I hate when a perfume has no lasting power! My previous favorite of the ones I?ve tried so far was Glossier but even that didn?t have the all day staying power of this. Will be purchasing the full sized bottle!

Awesome, love the vanilla. Must be comfortable with the sweet scent.

Its alright, the thing I like about it is I can still smell it after a long workday. And I work outdoors! So I dont stink like sweat I smell like vanilla...I give it a sticker if approval. It is a bit sweeter than expexted though.

This one should be used with care. Lingering strong vanilla perfume that overwhelms.

The first ever spray was delicious, but soon after it smells like old paper, orlike all sample scents in magazines smell. As is dries down it smells musty, like a damp wood cabin in the woods. The vanilla part is sweet. It projexts well and lasts all day long. Not my favorite. Probably better on oyhrr people.

Or just a night out.

Too sweet of a scent for me.

Didn?t care for it

I absolutely love this scent.

I think this is a very deep vanilla and the lemon notes are evident right off the top. It then mellows out and you a get a smoky and deep vanilla. I can't decide if it's almost a bit to heavy and alcohol-smelling or if that's what it's supposed to smell like. It would be perfect if I didn't get so much alcohol on the first smell.

Suuuch a sexy scent but is easily used for both night AND day. I get two subscriptions per month and I have done it for about six months now and this is the first one that I immediately loved. I liked/was excited about some of the other ones and then I grew to love them as I wore them more often but right off the bat this one just completely drew me in.

It's a very crisp scent but not necessarily "fresh." Sultry but clean.

The scent is woody with vanilla notes without being overpowering.

Love it immediately out of the bottle.

Reminds me of the very expensive Atelier cologne vanille insensee, so I love this fragrance. Definitely a fall/winter scent. Think walk in the woods with your favorite person, sipping a vanilla latte. If you do not like vanilla pass this one up. But I disagree with those that say it smells like a cake or candle. I would purchase.

This has been my favorite sofar.

Reviews aren?t wrong when they tell you that you will smell a bit like vanilla extract, potentially. It?s strong and rude and even maybe overbearing. Initially when you spray, the juniper berry and guaiac wood hit you in the face. It does smell smoky. It reminds me of mezcal, but given the name and inspiration of the fragrance, that wasn?t a bad thing. Once the guaiac calms down a bit, the vanilla takes over, and it really does entirely take over. It warms and gets cozy and surrounds you. Vanilla is, for me, one of the most comforting smells on earth. I wasn?t at all put off by this, and not even at its initial sharpness (which does have a vanilla extract vibe). It?s this vanilla that actually keeps me coming back to this scent. It?s just so damn comforting and warm and gorgeous. I wear this alone. I wear it on road trips. I wear it when I need some cheering up. I love this fragrance and won?t be put off by the price when I buy the bottle.

I love this. It's sweet, but refined.

Wasn?t sure what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It?s a bit spicy when you first spray it on, but within minutes, it became sweet, but not too sweet. It?s sophisticated and delicious and warm all at once. I smell my wrists all day now because it?s so nice, and it lasts most of the day, slowly fades into a nice lingering scent. Highly recommend for those who don?t like the super sweets or flowery smells, but don?t enjoy the deep Woody ones either.

I'm definitely a vanilla fan, so I don't mind that it's this fragrance's primary note. It is not, however, it's only note. The first spritz offers plenty of that fresh lemony zest, and there are more complex underlying woody notes as the fragrance chills out over time. It's warm and delicious and I'm happy every time I put it on.

I wanted to love this. I do not love this. It?s all vanilla, both in scent and description.

If you don't like "foody" scents you won't like this, but it's a beautiful and complex vanilla and exactly what I was hoping for.

I loved it! The vanilla is perfection.

Very sweet and woody but seems to loose its smell faster than some others I have used. but great overall sent.

If you like birthday cake ice cream, or literally eat a spoon of sugar everyday then you may like this perfume. This doesn?t scream roaring 20s to me, it screams sweet vanilla. The woody notes that were supposed to be there are completely lost on me. This is a major miss by scentbird recommendations for me. Hope they turn it around soon. The only saving grace to this is that I now have a 30 day supply of bathroom air freshener now.

I adore this scent. It's a deep, sweet vanilla that is like reclining in a leather chair on a Sunday afternoon with a glass of hot buttered rum. It's the only scent in recent memory I have gotten multiple compliments on in one night, as well. I rarely give 5 stars but this is just too delicious.

So, first off I'll say that all perfumes smell slightly different on everyone. This one does not smell nice on me. At first it's salty, as if it WANTS to be fresh, but it initially lands as salty & masculine. Then it settles down to scent that wants to be soft & feminine but ends up being a flat powdery vanilla. In the middle I can't tell what it's doing. It's trying to be something fresh and yummy, but ends up being flat & boring. Not a good scent if your signature scent is sexy floral with uniqueness. This one sounds fresh with uniqueness, but ends up being flat, like a pre-teen girl.

I don't imagine this is what architects smell like, but it was nice, had good longevity. This will not make it into the collection at that price. If I'm going to spend that much coin, it better call to me.

I did enjoy the aroma it provided. It scented very exquisite and exclusive just as exciting it can appeal bringing in to my audience.

Citrus and floral notes, not overbearing or too long-lasting.

This perfume goes on with a more woodsy leathery type smell and dries quickly to a vanilla, but not an artificial vanilla a deep vanilla. It reminds me of my grandmother when I was a young girl and the gold Victoria secret talc bottle of vanilla she always used. It?s warm and comforting like a chunky blanket.

It starts out with a pepper note that quickly dries down to a complex vanilla. This is one I will be buying for sure!

I'm on the fence about this one. It goes on bright and complex, with citrus and pepper, but it quickly flattens out to mostly vanilla with an undertone of vetiver. It's not bad, but I don't adore it. It's got the potential for an interesting complexity, as it continues changing throughout the day, but the vanilla note still drowns out the rest a little too often.

This is an amazing scent. It is a dry vanilla - more like an actual vanilla bean and less like a sweet cupcake smell. There is also a clear burst of juniper/gin smell in the opening, and it dries down to a lovely blend of vanilla and wood. It is definitely a sophisticated scent, and high quality (like all Arquiste fragrances are). It you are a fan of the ultra-sweet, ultra-fruity celebrity scents, this won't be for you. I reach for this one all the time - it is unique, well-blended and gorgeous!

I'm not a fan of vanilla scents. At first I didn't like it but very quickly the other notes kicked in. They all work very well together and surprisingly I enjoy it.

At first it was a love hate that flipped every 15 minutes. But after wearing it for a couple days I am in love!!

This scent definitely has all of the scent qualities I love: clove, sandalwood, and a dark fruit. The clove is very upfront and strong, so a light wrist/neck dan is all you need: It also its long lasting, which on the first day I did not enjoy and was not used to. I usually wear a more floral and spiced perfumes, and this was perfect once I got used to wearing it. It blended with my pheromones extremely well and I got so many compliments. I'm actually going to buy it as the full bottle at some point as it will be missed.

I don't know what it was about this one, but I found it repulsive. It is probably the worst scent I have ever tried. I threw it away after one use.

Started off with a creamy spicy vanilla flavor then the woods & tobacco kick in... really nice fragrance with perfect projection. My only complaint is the longevity is a bit weak... Definitely worth a try. High quality juice for sure.

I love this - Smells different on everyone - almost vanilla but like very obvi woody to. Ugh. Its great.

I love the vanilla in this one! I catch myself reaching for this more often than my others because of the sweetness, almost dessert like . This lasts for hours on me.

Love this vanilla woody tobacco smell maybe a little leather. It last all day it is one of my favorites.

Didn't dazzle my wife so it wasn't that good.

Heavy vanilla after 10 minutes, not much else

I love this scent! I was a little hesitant because of the equal mix of good and bad reviews but it turned out to be a good choice for my first scent! It starts out very powdery and harsh with a woodsy smell but it dries to a warm vanillaish scent that works perfectly with my chemistry. I will without a doubt buy the full version of this at some point!

Did not love this smell

I love this scent. It dries down to a woodsy/cedar warm scent. I feel this fragrance is more appropriate for fall/winter.

Did not like this scent. It smells like peppercorns soaked in vanilla extract!

Fades to a boozy "vanilla extract" smell very quickly.

A little too musky for my taste.

I thought it came on a bit strong, then was overly vanilla afterwards. Wasn't my favorite, but still a good scent to use when not trying to impress.

I am very impressed by the recommendation for this perfume. I love the smell on me and it's not overly strong. It didn't last as long as I would like, but all in all it is definitely something I would buy.

Was sweet now what im used to but very nice

Dislike this very much. Smells like Listerine. Stinky. I was extremely disappointed.

I get so many compliments when I wear this. It's unlike anything I've smelled.

I love this scent. Its just a little too heavy for summer, so I will be saving it to use more into Fall and Winter.

Its very summery and fresh. Perfect for the hot weather.

Smells very much like an old lady perfume. Way too strong, gives me and others around me a headache, even after a light application. Vanilla completely dominates the scent.

smells like dessert - would not recmeng

If you like vanilla and the smell of your grandmothers sweater then this is the scent for you! Super strong and very feminine. Not my cup of tea at all!

Oh, I wanted to love this scent, but it has--sadly--been my least favorite despite being the most highly anticipated. Here is why: It does smell strongly of vanilla at first spritz, but the combo of heavy wood undertones gives it more of a slightly alcoholic vanilla extract twang in an abrasive rather than warm way. After that, it switches to a woodsy, cedar-like spiciness (which I would normally like) with an undertone of something...off. Like walking through a yummy cedar forest with a chemical plant next door. It might be my body chemistry because my experience seems to be very different from other reviewers, but it is a very overwhelming scent. On top of that, I could never smell any juniper which was the main reason I selected Arquiste...juniper and vanilla together sounds divine, right? Too bad it never happens. And if I kinda disliked this scent, my husband DESPISED it. He made me wash it off...and then wash it off again because he could "still smell it". It is the most negative reaction I have received from him concerning a perfume. The only reason I gave this scent 2 hearts instead of 1 is that it DOES have superb lasting power...even when you are trying to wash it off. I tried it again a week later and it lasted at full strength for hours. Obviously it was made from some serious stuff.

LOVE THIS!!!! My favorite so far!!

My favorite !

This has a nice long lasting pleasant smell to it

My friends won't stop smelling me when I wear this.

This was not one of my faves at first smell but it eventually grew on me.

Smells sweet, but it's not over powering. I can definitely smell hints of vanilla. And it lasts longer than any perfume I've tried! I love it! Lol

Smells AMAZING. Smells like cedar when you put it on at first but fades into this magical woody/vanilla scent after wearing. Would def. rate it 5 stars

Vanilla! I love the smell everyone around me smells it and my bed smells like it. It really last.

At first I liked the scent. But it has an almost woody finish on it when it feels it should have more of a fruity finish.

Love this scent! The scent last a very long time!

High quality ingredients. Long lasting, unique fragrance very sophisticated . Smooth vanilla with wood under tones. One of my favorites.

I really like this fragrance. At first I wasn't a big fan of the woodsy note but I don't notice it much anymore. I mostly just smell vanilla.

I loved this one. Its a fresh woodsy scent that is long lasting but not overbearing. This might be my favorite perfume so far.

This was SUPER woodsy smelling. I got this because I thought it was going to smell more like vanilla, but it didn't. I don't feel good wearing it.

I get tons of compliments on this sweet but masculine sent

This perfume is a very VERY woodsy scent. I smell cedar instantly with a little bit of vanilla. This is an odd perfume for me because I kind of like it, then again I don't. I feel if you had a husband in the wood working business of any kind, he would LOVE this scent on you. This scent is almost like opening up a bag of cedar wood chips and they threw in a handful of vanilla pods. I picture those things when I spray this. To me, cedar is a refreshing smell as well as vanilla is calming. I have just never smelt anything like it in perfume. I think I'll wear this a few times. Definitely not an every day perfume for me.

All I can smell is vanilla. It's not something I would normally choose. I may wear a few more times before chucking it.

I really love this one! It's my favorite one I've recieved so far. It's warm woodsy and vanilla and will be perfect for the fall. I will definitely be adding the full bottle to my collection soon.

This has a really good smell. My wife and I both like it and we usually don't like the same smells. There are some light citrus notes but also an earthy smell. There is a little more musk or floral smell than I like and it's why I did not give a 5 rating. I do think most people would enjoy this one and I would recommend it to friends.

Very interesting scent. I love the vanilla tones that it starts with, although it quickly fades into a strong black pepper scent. That's not a bad scent, it just overpowers the vanilla for awhile. Over time with exposure to heat and air it blends a little better and is quite enjoyable. It also is pretty long lasting - I noticed about 6 hours after I applied it that I could still smell a pleasant lingering hint of the scent.

I ordered this several months ago. I liked it at first but this has become one of my absolute favorites. It is really wonderful and lasts all day with only a couple of sprays.

I loved this one, though I tend to lean towards the musky/woodsy/heavy colognes. This is definitely an evening winter scent. Very yummy!

I absolutely love this scent!! Not flowery at all! Warm sophisticated without the heavy musk. Light and beautiful ??

I like it, don't love it.

I really just wanted to try this because of the name, but I'm so glad I did. It's much more wearable then one would think and I'm definitely buying a full size. I love scentbird! I always hate buying full size and end up sticking with one scent, but not anymore!

I don't think I've ever loved a perfume more. I find it beautiful to the point of heartbreak, actually. This is the reason I sniff perfumes everywhere: I'm always hoping to find something that takes hold of me the way this moody, nostalgic, confounding perfume does. It's smoky without the charred lingering bottom note of most smoky scents; there's vanilla, there's booze--gin maybe--there's something grassy...and somehow all my memories were also packed into that little cylinder. It reminds me that there are always layers to things. To say I love it is almost to damn it with faint praise. I want to live in the Architect's Club.

This is a nice scent...probably one of my favorites I far. I've had the subscription for a year or more now. It has nice staying power and gentle woodsy smells that I tend to gravitate toward.

In my opinion, the vanilla is a bit too strong.

This fragrance is amazing! Top notes are all cedar/woods, then it transforms into a quite sophisticated vanilla with an exotic citrusy hint. It has become one of my favorites if not THE favorite at this time!

I love it one of my favorites. Vanilla and gin.

Not what I wanted
