Aldebaran
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly unique Serge Lutens creation that balances sweet, herbal, and floral notes with a refined elegance. This 'bittersweet' beauty is divisive for some, but a 'love' for many who appreciate its subtle, comforting complexity.
Aldebaran is Quentin Bisch at his most polarising: a love-it-or-hate-it tuberose that redefines the genre. It's weird, challenging, and frankly unforgettable, a beast with serious projection that will turn heads - for better or worse.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and skin-scent tendency make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, while its unique, comforting profile is perfect for casual and date settings. The inherent elegance also works for formal events, though perhaps not for high-energy activities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its beastly sillage and unique, often challenging, profile make Aldebaran wholly unsuitable for office or sport. It's better reserved for more relaxed casual settings or bold date nights where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming.
