Aaron Terence Hughes Onyx Concentrate is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aaron Terence Hughes. Aaron Terence Hughes's Onyx Concentrate carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A beast-mode rose and oud combo that's divisive: some say it's a masterpiece, others call it unoriginal. Expect a rich, jammy rose with significant projection and lasting power, but sample first to see if it's your cup of tea.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Onyx Concentrate explodes with a dark, jammy rose, immediately establishing its bold presence. Soon, a complex oud emerges, intertwined with a rich, almost chocolatey patchouli. As it settles, warm amber and creamy vanilla add a luxurious depth, softened by a hint of sweet plum, all resting on a persistent, musky-sandalwood base that lingers for hours.
