Puredistance Aenotus No. 09 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Antoine Lie. Aenotus No. 09 opens with Lemon, Orange, Mandarin, and Yuzu, settles into a heart of Currant Blossom, Petitgrain, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Puredistance's Aenotus No. 09 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a wild ride - utterly divisive, from 'masterpiece' to 'salad dressing' or 'grandad's cologne'. It's a high-quality citrus, green, and musky scent, but expect strong opinions and a price tag that'll make your wallet weep.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but it might be a bit too present for a quiet office. The fresh, bright notes lend themselves well to daytime and warmer weather, making it a versatile choice for various informal and semi-formal daytime events.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Aenotus opens with a lively, zesty burst of citrus from lemon, orange, mandarin, and yuzu, immediately invigorated by a fresh, herbal mint. This bright beginning gently transitions to a greener heart of petitgrain and a subtle currant blossom. The dry-down settles into an elegant, clean musk, underpinned by earthy patchouli and a prominent, slightly bitter oakmoss, giving it a sophisticated, grounded finish.
