Etienne Aigner Initial Eau de Toilette 100ml

Etienne Aigner Initial Eau de Toilette is a fresh, refined fragrance from the aromatic fougère family. Crisp citrus and clean herbs open with an effortless brightness, before a green, aromatic heart gives way to a warm, woody base. Polished and versatile, Initial is a signature built for everyday confidence.

Why It Works

Initial succeeds through balance. The citrus-lavender opening is immediately approachable and clean, while the rosemary-geranium heart gives it a classic fougère structure that feels timeless rather than dated. The base — cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, and amber — is warm without being heavy, ensuring the fragrance stays fresh and wearable throughout the day. It's the kind of scent that works as well in a boardroom as it does on a weekend walk.
