The world first encountered №1 by Allen Shaw in 2016. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the floral family. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Shawn Bergin. Released in eau de parfum.
Made in the United States, backed by a long and proud tradition. №1 Allen Shaw unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

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 composition of №1 evolves as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Allen Shaw comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Whiteflower, Wood, Gourmet and Floral. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a creamy-floral mood: Jasmine, Orange blossom, Sandalwood and Vanilla. In this format 4 notes work as one voice, building floral tenderness that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Floral, Wood and Spicy without random overlap. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall №1 reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
