Etienne Aigner Initial Eau de Parfum 100ml

Etienne Aigner Initial Eau de Parfum is the richer, more intense counterpart to the classic Initial EDT. A deeper concentration of the same aromatic fougère DNA — fresh citrus and cool mint open with clarity, before a complex herbal heart unfolds into a warm, resinous base. More powerful, more tenacious, and built to last.

Note-by-Note Breakdown

  • Top Notes: Bergamot — bright and citrusy with a clean Mediterranean lift; Lemon — sharp and zesty, adding immediate freshness; Mandarin — soft and slightly sweet, rounding the citrus accord; Lavender — aromatic and calming, bridging citrus and herbs; Mint — cool and invigorating, adding a crisp green edge
  • Heart Notes: Rosemary — crisp and herbal, the backbone of the fougère accord; Geranium — green and slightly rosy, adding floral depth; Jasmine — warm and subtly sweet, softening the herbal core; Clary Sage — earthy and aromatic, adding complexity; Cardamom — warm and spiced, bridging the heart and base
  • Base Notes: Cedarwood — dry and structured, providing a clean woody foundation; Sandalwood — creamy and smooth, adding warmth; Vetiver — earthy and smoky with excellent tenacity; Patchouli — deep and resinous, anchoring the composition; Musk — soft and skin-close, extending longevity; Amber — warm and golden, rounding the dry-down; Tonka Bean — creamy and vanilla-like, adding sweetness

Why It Works

Initial EDP takes the clean, approachable structure of the EDT and amplifies it. The addition of mint in the top adds a cool, invigorating edge, while cardamom in the heart bridges the herbal and woody registers with warmth. The base — cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, musk, amber, and tonka bean — is richer and more complex than its EDT sibling, delivering a dry-down that is both warm and deeply satisfying. The EDP concentration ensures the fragrance projects confidently and lasts well into the evening.
