Description
No.57 by ARQUISTE PARFUMEUR is a warm, spicy, and woody fragrance that transports you to Peggy Guggenheim's iconic 'Art of This Century' gallery on West 57th Street in 1943 New York. It opens with a distinct boozy note of aged whiskey, complemented by a comforting hint of cinnamon bark. As it develops, a smooth vanilla bean emerges, intertwined with the resinous depth of labdanum, creating an enveloping warmth. The scent settles into a rich, woody base of oakwood and cedarwood, evoking the gallery's curved wooden walls and the sophisticated, daring atmosphere of the era. This is a scent that feels perfect for cooler weather, offering a cozy yet intriguing presence. Perfumers: Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier
