Aigner No 2
Fragrance notes
Character
Aigner No 2 opens with a bright mix of lavender, clary sage, lemon, and bergamot that feels clean and direct. The citrus provides an immediate lift that fades at a steady, measured pace, while the scent stays near the body without pushing outward. Cedar, geranium, sandalwood, vetiver, orris, fern, rose, and heliotrope form a heart that is aromatic, woody, and lightly powdery. The rose and heliotrope add a soft, slightly sweet touch to the green and earthy surroundings. This middle section feels balanced and traditional, leaning into a fresh spicy character that remains composed.
The base brings moss, musk, tonka bean, labdanum, and vanilla together for a dry, musky foundation. The vanilla and tonka bean introduce gentle warmth, but the moss and labdanum keep the blend grounded and earthy. It suits someone who enjoys classic masculine fougeres with a noticeable herbal edge and a soft powdery finish. Those who prefer sharp, modern citrus or very sweet gourmands will find this composition too reserved and old-fashioned for their taste. It works well for daytime wear in spring or autumn.
The overall impression is aromatic and woody, with fresh spicy and powdery accents throughout. Lavender and citrus lead at first, then cedar and vetiver take over before the musky base settles in. Rose and heliotrope provide a faint floral softness that never overwhelms the greenery. It is a steady, conventional fragrance built around moss, musk, and vanilla.
