About

Aigner No 1 opens with a sharp, fresh spicy kick of pepper and artemisia, grounded by cool cedar and a hint of bright bergamot. The heart introduces warm, aromatic geranium and cinnamon, with a whisper of ginger adding a subtle zing. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of woody vetiver and labdanum, with a smoky, musky incense trail providing a deep, resinous warmth.
