Created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux and introduced in 2012, FLOR Y CANTO by Arquiste is a feminine floral Eau de Parfum with a richly layered, light-filled character. It opens with a vivid green impression, where Mexican acacia and marigold meet a crushed leaves accord. The effect is fresh, botanical and tactile, evoking the sensation of brushing past petals and foliage before the fragrance unfolds into a more expansive floral heart.
At the center, tuberose absolute brings creamy depth and fullness, framed by the stately elegance of Magnolia grandiflora and the radiant presence of red and white plumeria. This floral heart feels textured and luminous, balancing opulence with a sense of natural ease. The flowers do not read as abstract; instead, they suggest living blossoms in full expression, generous and vibrant yet still refined.
The base introduces a quieter, more enveloping atmosphere. Copal, identified here as Mexican incense, lends a resinous and contemplative accent, while benzoin adds a warm balsamic softness. Mexican vanilla rounds out the composition with a smooth, velvety finish that extends the floral theme into something more intimate and gently sensual. Together, these notes create a harmonious dialogue between green freshness, white florals and softly resinous warmth.
Presented in a 100 ml format, FLOR Y CANTO offers a distinctive floral signature shaped by craftsmanship and contrast. It is a fragrance for those drawn to white flowers with depth, green facets with texture, and a base that leaves behind an elegant impression of copal, benzoin and vanilla.
