Boutonniere No. 7 by Arquiste is a Floral fragrance for women and men. Boutonniere No. 7 was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux. The fragrance features Gardenia, Lavender, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Petitgrain and Broom. May 1899, at the Foyer of the Opera-Comique, in Paris, France."During the Opera's intermission, a group of seven young men gather at the Grand Foyer in search of new flirtations. Champagne flows and ladies and coquettes alike draw closer to inhale the crisp scent of their gardenia boutonnières, mixed in with the bergamot and lavender based colognes they wear. Bravely clinging to their lapels, the bright white gardenias will soon be sacrificed to a passionate embrace." The fragrance is to be launched in October 2012.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Gardenia
Gardenia blooms are the epitome of pure white floral notes, their scent richly sweet yet clean, reminiscent of fresh cut flowers and the humid warmth of summer gardens. Originating from tropical regions, this flower's aroma is often described as a blend of jasmine and tuberose with a subtle hint of green.
Lavender
Lavender, with its distinctive floral and herbal aroma, originates from the fragrant fields of Provence. Its scent is both calming and invigorating, a versatile note that can evoke images of sunlit meadows or tranquil gardens. This duality makes it a staple in perfumery, where it’s celebrated for its ability to balance and harmonize.
Vetiver
Vetiver, harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India, exudes an earthy aroma that is both dry and slightly sweet. Its scent profile ranges from smoky and leathery to green and fresh, depending on how it’s distilled and aged. This versatile note thrives in tropical climates and has long been cherished for its grounding qualities.
