In 2017, Aether introduced Methaldone — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the aromatic and east families. Behind this scent stand Nicolas Chabot and Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Part of the Series 01/Chemical Reaction collection, available as eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Country of origin — France: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Methaldone Aether — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
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 Methaldone evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Aether comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a warm incense mood: Frankincense, Iris, Metallic notes and Woody Accord.
The heart and base are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Wood, Powdery and Mineral forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms High points to a sustained drydown presence.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Balsamic, Floral, Mineral and Wood. The palette also extends to Aromatic and Gourmet.
Taken together Methaldone reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
