Fragrance information:

Initial Eau de Parfum Etienne Aigner arrived in 2021 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. This is a masculine fragrance rooted in the fern and wood families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Barbara Wittig. Part of the Initial collection, available as eau de parfum.

Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. Initial Eau de Parfum Etienne Aigner unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Initial Eau de Parfum is built as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Etienne Aigner comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.

From the group perspective the composition is built around Fruit, Spicy, Citrus and Floral. The framework further includes Wood, Ambery and Musk. At family level the fragrance belongs to Fern and Wood.

In the top tier you sense piquant warm opening notes: Apple, Ginger, Grapefruit and White Pepper.

In the heart you sense Geranium, Iris, Patchouli and Sea lavender carrying a velvety rose-iris direction. At the foundation the line is anchored through Ambergris, Musk, Sandalwood and Wet Wood, shaping a earthy woody-resinous trail.

The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

In summary Initial Eau de Parfum sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
