Aigner No 1 Intense

Aigner no1 Intense - I blind bought this fragrance based on the notes. I expected it to be a very nice fragrance, very well blended, a pleaser of ladies and good enough to wear it during the Winter. It costed me less than 20 Euros at Notino and I am not used to free lunches with inexpensive frags that look fabulous just by looking at the notes. I could not be more wrong.... This is an amaizing EDT (looks like an EDP), superb quality, spetacular scent, magnific set of notes, super sexy, imensely versatile (but not for the summer), with the not strong Oud note splendidly blended with the spices. If you find this fragrance for a nice price... do not hesitate; just blind buy it! This is a masterpice of a typical Middle East composition. Aigner No 1 is very well designed exactly in that eastern style. It’s very woody, earthy and masculine. And it is one of the fragrances that if you do not need any particular motive to wear. Just spray it on you to please yourself... yes, it's that good! There has been also a sentimental reason for my buying decision. Etienne Aigner was the personal sponsor of a spetacular racing driver called Clay Regazzoni. Do you remember him?

Bugs – what exactly do you want to know about it? I’ve tested Aigner No1 Intense a couple of times and I like it very much! It’s very different from the other men perfumes from Aigner. I’m big fan of typical eastern/Arab compositions and Aigner No 1 is very well composed exactly in that eastern style...It’s very woody, earthy and masculine. I like it very much, because it gives something more and something different from other well-known brands like Hugo Boss, Armani, Gucci and so on. Aigner No 1 Intense is heavier and more woody than most of the men perfumes you could find at the typical perfume stores or in Malls...The oud note is prominent, but not in your face, you don’t have to be afraid of oud here – it’s well balanced with other notes, so even western people to like it... I think Aigner did really great gob with No 1 Intense, which could be even niche... If you are in this type of woody, oriental, earthy and Arab type of perfumes – try this one – I think it deserves your attention. It is a mature woody scent, beautifully done for gentlemen who likes to try things which are not mainstream...;) At the same time you don’t have to expect Montale type of oud/wood perfume – yes, Aigner No1 Intense is stepping in that area, but in a gentler and softer way... I will buy Aigner No1 Intense for sure when fall / winter seasons come... I’ve tested Aigner No1 Oud as well and it’s another beauty from Aigner...

I was blown away by the opening of this! Actually I don't remember the last time I felt this way checking perfumes may be 2 years ago when I bought the Fahrenheit Aqua. My last experience with Aigner was Aigner black, which wasn't bad but not an outstanding perfume, been looking for the Aigner Suede but couldn't find it in Egypt. This Scent's opening is one if the best I've tried in a very long time, its very fresh yet warm in a very sophisticated way, crisp oud (not balsamic oud) tamed by amber, cinnamon and vetiter and freshened by patchouli and citrus notes, very unique and stands alone within all the new designer fragrances that focus on heavy balsamic/powdery oud or heavy spices, among the ones I've tried lately were ( leather blend-davidoff, Man in Black-Bvlgari, grand tour-CH) My only take on this scent is the lack of stage developments, the scent's drydown isn't as lovely as the opening, and it doesn't change a lot through the development, the citrus and cinnamon fades and the patchouli, vetiver,amber and oud. A very sophisticated scent and one of the best including oud that I've tried lately, a totally different take on oud. A perfect combination of dirtiness and freshness! Well done Aigner.

pleasantly restrained aroma. its composition is somewhat reminiscent of Chanel Egoiste Platinum. only much thicker, deeper, less diffuse.but very close to Sergio Soldano White. citrus, basil, lavender, wood, spices, warm cinnamon and very restrained agarwood parts in the aroma well balanced . A great choice for everyday wear, in the office. 10/10

Cinnamon on cinnamon on cinnamon... and yeah I love it! There was a time that cinnamon was the note that was grabbing me or inspiring a string of purchases, and with this scent I thought I struck gold (obviously our tastes change). With Aigner No 1 Intense we get cinnamon front and center. This is simplicity at its best. Just some oud, a good dose of cinnamon and patchouli and presto a fall and winter warmer. Aigner No 1 Intense is linear and is perfect as such. The dry down is just a simple vetiver and amber combo that is given a touch of brightness from some citruses. The effect is beautifully executed. This fragrance is fairly long lasting and projects well. Aigner No 1 Intense is perfect for fall and winter excursions especially outdoors, this scent comes to life in a crisp fall air. Rock this before heading out to catch an outdoor brunch on the terrace, just before it gets too cold and we are stuck indoors.
