Arquiste Ella EDP (100 ml) #10091191

December 1978, Armando’s Le Club, Acapulco, Mexico.

It’s a sultry night of disco, plunging necklines and champagne-soaked skin. Lights flash and strangers kiss, but it’s her, dancing, that commands the attention. She moves, panther-like, her honeyed skin creating an addictive sweetness and magnetism that only a deep chypre fragrance can deliver. She’s met her match on the dance floor, and it’s her animalic instinct that follows him outside, onto the golden beach, under a silvery moon.

Ella is a lush, animalic chypre built around radiance and instinct. The fragrance opens with the exotic bloom of cannon ball tree flower (curupita), brightened by angelica root, carrot seed enriched essence, and Turkish rose. The heart deepens into French jasmin absolute “vintage crop,” warmed by cardamom absolute and black buckwheat honey, enriched with ambergris. In the base, patchouli, civet, vetiver, and a cigarette smoke accord smolder within a classic chypre structure, creating a sensual finish that lingers like heat after midnight.

Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
