Etienne Aigner Aigner No 1 Intense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013. Aigner No 1 Intense opens with Citrus, and settles into a heart of Amber and Cinnamon. Etienne Aigner's Aigner No 1 Intense carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper debate starter. Some critics can't stand it, calling it a messy affair, while others rave about its sophisticated, Middle Eastern-inspired depth. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, so spray with caution and don't blind buy. It's affordable, though, so the risk is low.

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.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its warm, spicy, and woody accords make it too heavy for the office or sport. The refined scent profile lends itself well to dates and formal events, especially in cooler weather, but it's divisive, so perhaps not for every occasion.

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

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

Opens with a fleeting, subtle citrus zest before diving headfirst into a rich, warm spicy heart. Dominant cinnamon notes mingle with an earthy patchouli and a balanced oud, keeping it firmly woody and oriental. The amber provides a soft, warm embrace in the dry down, adding a hint of sweetness to its mature character.
