Etienne Aigner Statement is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1994. Statement opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes, Lily of the Valley, Nutmeg, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Etienne Aigner's Statement carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Some hail it as a hidden gem, a smooth, classy, masculine scent with niche quality. Others can't get past the 'old man' vibe, finding it dated and uninteresting. Try before you buy.

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.

About

Opening with a brisk burst of green notes, lemon, and bergamot, Statement quickly introduces a clean, aromatic lavender and geranium blend. The heart brings a subtle fruity sweetness alongside the warm spice of nutmeg and coriander. It dries down to a rich, earthy base of musk, oakmoss, and cedar, softened by a smooth, friendly leather and a hint of amber and styrax, creating a distinctly mature and masculine aura.
