Arquiste Misfit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Misfit opens with Carrot Seeds, Angelica, Bergamot, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, and Tolu Balsam. Arquiste's Misfit carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Misfit is a divisive, unapologetic patchouli-heavy scent. It's not a crowd-pleaser, swinging between intoxicatingly dirty-sweet and cloyingly thick depending on your skin chemistry and tolerance for '60s bohemian vibes.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Misfit opens with an earthy greenness from carrot seeds and Angelica, brightened by bergamot, before lavender weaves in a hint of herbal freshness. The heart introduces Akigalawood, a spicy, woody patchouli derivative, which then melds into a deep, warm base of resinous labdanum and tolu balsam, sweetened by tonka bean. Expect a complex, evolving scent journey that remains firmly rooted in patchouli's diverse facets.
