Aldebaran

by Quentin Bisch

Marc-Antoine Barrois Aldebaran is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Quentin Bisch. The fragrance opens with Tuberose, settles into a heart of Pimiento and Mate, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Aldebaran: Acquired

Aldebaran is Quentin Bisch at his most polarising: a love-it-or-hate-it tuberose that redefines the genre. It's weird, challenging, and frankly unforgettable, a beast with serious projection that will turn heads - for better or worse.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its beastly sillage and unique, often challenging, profile make Aldebaran wholly unsuitable for office or sport. It's better reserved for more relaxed casual settings or bold date nights where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming.

About

Prepare for a tuberose like no other. Aldebaran opens with a startling, almost medicinal burst of fresh, green tuberose, quickly underscored by the surprising warmth of pimiento. This spicy, aromatic heart, with its mate tea nuances, twists the floral into something almost savoury and startlingly cool or minty. As it settles, a smooth, creamy tonka bean emerges, softening the edges but never fully taming its peculiar, almost industrial, character.
