Drawn to architecture, history, and traveling from a young age, Carlos Huber first pursued the study of architecture and historic preservation at prestigious universities in his hometown of Mexico City, as well as in Paris and New York. His diverse experience includes meticulous residential and commercial projects as well as art installations concerned with the interpretation of historic sites.
Turning to his longtime love of perfume, Mr. Huber was mentored by master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, studying perfume history, evaluation, and fragrance development. Bridging the worlds of architectural and perfume history through the lens of restoration led him to collaborate with Mr. Flores-Roux and perfumer Yann Vasnier to create ARQUISTE®, developing scents that restore authentic historical experiences.
ARQUISTE® has garnered awards from organizations like the Fragrance Foundation and Fashion Group International as well as international media, establishing Mr. Huber as a fragrance designer dedicated to meticulous storytelling, authenticity, and sustainability. ARQUISTE®'s creations are rich, transportive, and layered.
In addition to ARQUISTE®, he has developed fragrances for brands such as St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, Vacation Inc., J.Crew, Trudon, El Palacio de Hierro, Tequila Clase Azul, By Matthew Zink, and The Sabah Dealer.
Mr. Huber graduated with a degree in historic preservation from Columbia University.
