Arquiste Nocturnality is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Nocturnality opens with Papyrus, Pepper, and Hyraceum, settles into a heart of Black Leather, Floral, Resin, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Civet, and Castoreum. Arquiste's Nocturnality carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A polarising take on modern masculinity, Nocturnality fuses animalic leather and floral notes into a scent experience that's both evocative and confrontational. It's love-it-or-hate-it, catering to those drawn to its provocative charm.

About

Nocturnality opens with a sharp, intriguing blend of papyrus, synthetic elements, and a piquant kick of pepper, setting a bold stage. The heart reveals itself with a dark, sensual quality of black leather intermingled with rose and resin, painting a picture of sultry allure. As it dries down, you’re greeted by the deep warmth of cedar, patchouli, and animalic notes like civet and castoreum, creating a lingering, earthy embrace that feels both raw and refined. This is a scent that recounts late nights and smoky atmospheres, where leather and florals intertwine in an intoxicating dance.
