Arxenicq

Arxenicq is a scent of refined mystery, blending the fresh allure of something familiar and comforting that you’re instinctively drawn to, with an elusive, dangerous enigmatic edge. It leaves an impression that’s both soothing and provocative.

Top Notes: neroli, camphor, violet

Middle Notes: shiu wood, iris, masticha, galbanum

Base Notes: palo santo, picea mariana, sandalwood, pine, styrax, patchouli

It opens with the powdery sophistication of iris, softened by the delicate sweetness of violet—a deceptively serene beginning. The green bitterness of galbanum cuts through like a sharp edge. Floral and aromatic, shiu wood lingers like a hymn just out of reach. In the base, palo santo brings a quiet, smoky warmth, lifted by the resinous depth of styrax. Patchouli and picea mariana for earthiness with silky sandalwood.

Arxenicq is inspired by the duality of beauty and danger—how something can feel clean and comforting yet hold a shadow of something unknowable. It’s about the fine line between attraction and hesitation, about how familiarity can be laced with intrigue. The scent draws from memories of freshly pressed linen, the earthy sharpness of woods, and the crisp clarity of mountain air—elements that feel safe, natural, and grounding. But within that safety lies something strange: a sense of something out of place, an unshakable feeling that not everything is as it seems.
