Flor y Canto
Flor y Canto by Arquiste is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mimosa, marigold and green leaves, moves into tuberose, magnolia and frangipani and dries down to copal, benzoin and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Marigold Bitter, green and herbal. Nothing like the flower looks.
- Green Leaves Crushed stems and fresh leaves. Snappy, sharp and outdoorsy.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
Dry-down
- Copal A bright, lemony tree resin burned as incense in Mexico. Lighter than frankincense.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
