Description
Infanta en Flor by Arquiste is a delicate and elegant floral fragrance that paints a portrait of the 17th-century Spanish Court. It opens with a clean, musky powdery impression, reminiscent of orange blossom scented powders and rose-tinged rouge. As it develops, a soft, suede-like Spanish leather accord emerges, giving the scent a refined and sophisticated character. This fragrance settles into a subtle soapiness that feels like a featherweight scarf on the skin, offering a sheer yet present aroma that is both classic and easy to wear. It's a tender, finely grained floral with a hint of herbal soapiness, perfect for those who appreciate a delicate and understated elegance. Perfumer: Yann Vasnier
