About Andres Croxatto
Andres Croxatto is an independent fragrance brand created by Chilean YouTuber and perfume reviewer Andrés Croxatto, known online as Andrés Perfume-Man. According to the brand’s own history page, he began developing his first fragrance in January 2020 together with perfumer Chris Maurice (Christian Carbonnel) at Carbonnel’s offices in Barcelona, and the debut scent Andrés Croxatto Man was released in 2021. Fragrantica lists Andres Croxatto as a new fragrance brand, with its earliest perfume dated 2021.
The brand is closely tied to Croxatto’s online persona and community. Famous Birthdays notes that he is a content creator and entrepreneur with a large YouTube following, and that his fragrance brand is called Croxatto. The official site croxatto.com presents the perfumes as high-concentration, long-lasting compositions formulated and bottled in Spain, with a strong emphasis on performance and impact. The launch scent Andrés Croxatto Man is described by the brand as a masculine, modern, crystalline fragrance built around an intense opening and a very persistent base, with bursts of diffusion during movement and all-day longevity.
Croxatto’s approach is very personal and directive: on the “history” page he outlines seven non‑negotiable traits he wanted for Andrés Croxatto Man, including masculine, modern, fresh, high‑class, versatile, original, and intense. He describes the composition as built on three main pillars: an Italian citrus “gentleman” accord featuring costly materials such as neroli, petitgrain bergamotier and real bergamot; a dominant “fruit punch” section with tropical and green tones and freshly cut grass facets; and a dense woody-amber base with guaiac wood, cedar, moss, vanilla and musks, designed to form what he calls an overwhelming mass.
Following the response to Andrés Croxatto Man, his sister Ángeles Croxatto launched Croxatto Woman, described on the brand’s site as “the most exquisite scent in the world”, with Italian citrus (Calabrian bergamot), a mango and apricot “tropical punch” heart, and a coffee liqueur nuance. Fragrantica credits perfumes in the line to a small circle of perfumers: Chris Maurice, Andrés Croxatto himself, and Ángeles Croxatto. Overall the brand positions itself as a family-run, content‑creator‑driven project focused on bold, high-impact compositions and premium raw materials rather than a large designer portfolio.

- The aesthetic sits between mass-appeal freshness and experimental structure, reflecting a content creator who wants a statement piece rather than a safe office scent

Brand Evolution
The brand began with a single masculine release, Andrés Croxatto Man in 2021, created after a year-long development process with Chris Maurice. Early communication centered on performance, masculine character, and the use of expensive Italian citrus materials. Subsequent launches, including Croxatto Woman, suggest a gradual expansion into gendered pairs with similar structural ideas: citrus brightness, tropical or fruity impact, and a rich, lingering base. As the family becomes more involved, with Ángeles Croxatto credited as both brand partner and perfumer, the line appears to be evolving into a small, family-run portfolio rather than a one-off influencer scent.
Quick Verdict
Andres Croxatto is a high-drama indie project: loud, long-lasting, and priced ambitiously for a young brand. If you enjoy bold citrus-fruity woods and do not mind controversy or polarizing compositions, it is worth sampling; if you prefer understated, office-safe perfumery, this line will likely be too much.
