Season 4 - Episode 7: The Transportive Perfume Niche Brand – Arquiste Parfumeur (Carlos Huber)

Today we have to pleasure to chat with Carlos Huber Arquiste Parfumeur’s brand founder. Carlos was drawn to Mexico's architecture and history, and is an avid passionate traveler since young, Carlos Huber first pursued the study of architecture and historic preservation at prestigious universities in his hometown of Mexico City, in Paris and New York, where he graduated with honors in Historic Preservation at Columbia University. His diverse experience includes meticulous residential and commercial projects as well as art installations concerned with the interpretation of historic sites.

Turning to his longtime love of perfume, Huber was mentored by master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, studying perfume history, evaluation and fragrance development. Bridging the worlds of architectural and perfume history through the lens of restoration led him to collaborate with Rodrigo Flores-Roux and perfumer Yann Vasnier to create ARQUISTE®, developing scents that restore authentic historical experiences and cultures that are translated into inspiring and transportive fragrances.
