Nanban
by Arquiste
Arquiste Nanban, launched in 2015, is a UNISEX fragrance inspired by the 17th-century voyage of samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga. It captures the spirit of his epic journey and the exotic cargo of a galleon, including precious woods and spices. The scent opens with a vibrant blend of Black Pepper, Saffron, and Chinese Osmanthus, leading to a heart where rich notes of Coffee, Myrrh, Styrax, and a hint of Black Tea unfold. The composition settles into a warm and resinous base of Sandalwood, Olibanum, Copaiba Balm, and evocative Leather. Nanban is a sophisticated olfactive journey embodying historical exploration and discovery.
