About This Perfume
Think smoky amber incense over earthy patchouli: that is Etienne Aigner No 1 Intense. It opens with cinnamon, citrus notes and amber, moves into labdanum, patchouli and gaiac wood and settles on castoreum, vetiver and Oud. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2013.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike earthy fragrances.
Around $29.
