Etienne Aigner Aigner N°1 Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Aigner N°1 Oud opens with Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Coriander, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Clove. Etienne Aigner's Aigner N°1 Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some absolutely love its smooth, Western-friendly take on oud, finding it an underrated gem that's perfect for easing into the note. Others are utterly disappointed, finding the 'oud' barely there and recent reformulations a total disaster, impacting performance and scent profile.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and generally 'office-safe' interpretation of oud make it suitable for professional settings, as many reviews attest. While intimate enough for a date, strong performance issues reported by some mean it might not last for a full day out, thus scoring lower for casual wear where reapplication might be a faff.

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

It kicks off with a warm, spiced embrace of cinnamon, nutmeg, and coriander, leading into a floral heart where rose, jasmine, and violet mingle with a hint of clove. The dry down settles into a soft, approachable oud and gentle leather, with an overall powdery touch that keeps it from being overwhelming. It's a clean take on oriental warmth.
