Aaron Terence Hughes Requiem is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Requiem opens with Pink Pepper and Saffron, settles into a heart of Amber, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Civet. Aaron Terence Hughes's Requiem carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Requiem is a polarising scent that splits opinions like few others. Some adore its warm, cozy amber and booziest vanilla, while others feel it's a mere echo of better fragrances. A must-try for bold fragrance enthusiasts, though.

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.

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.

About

Requiem opens vivaciously with the aromatic kick of pink pepper, interlaced with the luxurious warmth of saffron. The heart unfolds around a sumptuous amber core, rich and inviting, creating an almost boozy embrace. As it settles, the base reveals a complex tapestry of creamy sandalwood, cedar, and the richness of vanilla. Undertones of civet and myrrh add a daring, animalic edge that teeters on the brink of decadence, wrapping you in a luxurious, slightly opulent finish. It's a scent that dances between the familiar and the daring, calling you to explore its depths.
