Urban Fake Aaron Terence Hughes, unveiled in 2022, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, drawing from the wood family. Aaron Terence Hughes — the creative mind behind this fragrance. Available as eau de parfum.
Country of origin — the United Kingdom, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Urban Fake is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The signature of Aaron Terence Hughes comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot and Lemon. Exactly these 2 notes set a sensation of cool purity that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the middle phase you meet Ambergris and Tonka bean keeping a golden-amber direction. In the base the line is anchored through Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver and musk, extending a earthy woody-resinous trail.
The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Ambery, Spicy and Wood. It also reaches into Musk. At family level the scent maps to Wood.
Overall Urban Fake sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
