A.N. Other WF/2020 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Catherine Selig. WF/2020 opens with Bergamot, Saffron, and Ambrette, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, and Patchouli. A.N. Other's WF/2020 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a divisive, modern rose that's either a synthetic disaster or an elegant, powerful statement, depending on who you ask. It's not a safe blind buy, but if you love a futuristic floral, it's worth a sniff.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile, but the powerful opening might be too much for the office. It truly shines for dates and formal events, exuding an elegant confidence, while still being perfectly suitable for an elevated casual setting.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

WF/2020 opens with a bold, almost medicinal saffron, softened by a zesty bergamot and the clean, subtle warmth of ambrette. The heart unfolds into a rich, jammy rose, complemented by the fresh, slightly tart brightness of peony and pomegranate. As it settles, a sophisticated suede emerges, lending a soft, leathery texture, grounded by a clean musk and a whisper of earthy patchouli that provides depth without overwhelming the floral character.
