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:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its warm, smooth, and rather intense profile makes it more suitable for cooler evenings, especially for dates or formal events where it can shine without being overwhelming. While some enjoy it in casual settings, its distinctive character might feel out of place in a modern office or during sports.

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.

About

Etienne Aigner No 1 opens with an aromatic burst of marjoram and sage, sharpened by a hint of bergamot and nutmeg. The heart develops into a refined blend of vetiver and sandalwood, softened by orris and a whisper of jasmine. As it settles, a rich, earthy base of oakmoss and patchouli emerges, warmed by amber, tonka, and a touch of vanilla, creating a musky, almost suede-like finish.
