Holiday Roundup of My Favorites!

It’s that time of the year again! Spread holiday cheer this year with Holiday Kits and candles for all your loved ones!







ARQUISTE Holiday Candles

Dark Galleon

• First, Dark Galleon takes you to the hull of a merchant ship docked in Nagasaki in September of 1620. Surrounded by the dark waters in the pitch-black night, the ship’s precious cargo of rare spices, exotic incense, and rich leather thicken the air with their heady scent. Developed with Nicole Mancini and Rodrigo Flores-Roux, the scent evokes the legendary ship that inspired the new Nanban Eau de Parfum. The woody and leathery scent of the candle features notes of fiery Persian saffron and the finest Spanish leather, balanced with tropical sandalwood, precious Frankincense, and dark cade.

 Mexican Baroque

Then, journey to the Royal Convent of Jesus Maria with Mexican Baroque. Deep in the heart of Mexico City in 1695, a group of nuns gathers together in the kitchen to concoct a cherished recipe. Blending together rich chocolate and spices in earthenware pots, the Sisters brew hot cocoa rich enough to unleash a sensuous rapture. Developed with Nicole Mancini, Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier, Mexican Baroque captures the scents that fill the kitchen, blending cocoa absolute, Mexican vanilla, and smoked chilies together with cedar wood and red clay.

Art Deco Velvet


Finally, exquisite Art Deco Velvet brings the splendor of The Architect’s Club’s, inspired by the original Mayfair location to life, capturing the feel of the Art Deco movement in 1930. The scent of gin martinis mingle with fine vanilla and blond tobacco smoke, evoking the elegant imprint of the cozy wood-paneled interior of The Fumoir bar at Claridge’s Hotel in London. Developed with Nicole Mancini and Yann Vasnier, the fragrance opens with notes of juniper berry oil, revealing a heart of blond tobacco, vanilla absolute and oakwood. Rich amber finishes the fragrance with a warm, lingering scent.


AVAILABLE: Discover Dark Galleon, Art Deco Velvet and Mexican Baroque beginning in November 2015. Each 8.9 oz. / 251 g. candle costs $85 and is available at http://arquiste.com/



Arquiste x J.Crew Dark Pine Candle

The Dark Pine candle features an exquisite fragrance inspired by the rugged American wilderness during the mid-19th century. Researched in meticulous detail, the scent takes its name from the pine trees that covered the mountains of the Sierra Nevada range. With notes of sharp, crisp pine oil and juniper berry oil, Dark Pine captures the scent of the mountain air, while subtly sweet almond powder and fir balsam pay homage to the trees’ resin. Rich, warm cedarwood rounds out the fragrance for robust, masculine fragrance. The scented candle is hand-poured, utilizing a superior blend of natural soy and paraffin wax and a lead-free cotton wick. Made entirely in America, the candle features a high concentration of only the highest quality essential oils, offering a clean-burning, soot-free fragrance experience.


AVAILABLE: The 6 oz. candle will be available for $45 beginning November 2015 exclusively in J. Crew retail locations and www.jcrew.com.
