Arquiste ÉL
Spicy, animalic and inspired by the latin lovers of 1970’s jet-set Acapulco. An ‘after hours’ fougère based on the disco era and barbershop colognes. ÉL is like a cologne that has mixed in with your own chemistry: the heady impression of a classic scent after a night of revelry. With notes of: Moroccan rosemary, Egyptian geranium, cinnamon leaves, oak-moss, vetiver and castoreum.
December 1978, Armando’s Le Club, Acapulco, Mexico.
Nighttime at Acapulco’s sultriest disco. Revelry on the dance floor. In the heat of the moment, he smiles coyly and motions to the beach outside, hinting at a midnight swim. He unbuttons his shirt, flashing bronzed skin and the scent of his cologne, a virile muskiness loaded with patchouli, oakmoss and elegant woody notes. A masculine impression of a day under the sun, intensified by the thrill of the night.
