EDP · unisex

ALT. Fragrances is an independent niche house focused on creating gender-neutral scents with distinctive character and unconventional ingredient combinations.

The Gentleman opens with a bright, woody top built around broom and guaiac wood, with toffee adding a gourmand sweetness from the start. The heart develops into a creamy, slightly savory affair, where amber and labdanum meet cilantro and an earthy mushroom note that gives the fragrance an unusual umami quality. The base anchors everything with georgywood, musk, and more mushroom, creating a woody-amber foundation with herbal rosemary adding subtle spice and structure. The overall composition sits firmly in fougère territory but leans heavily into gourmand and woody accords, making it feel more gourmet and grounded than a traditional fern fragrance.

This is best suited for someone seeking a warm, slightly offbeat woody fragrance that doesn't apologize for its savory edges. It works well as a cooler-weather fragrance or for evening wear when you want something with depth and personality. The Gentleman aligns with The Romantic, The Reverie, and The Hedonist scent profiles.

broom

guaiac wood
guaiac wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
spruce
spruce
toffee
toffee
Warm, buttery caramel with a slightly burnt, bitter edge, toffee is more complex than plain caramel, with a depth that comes from the cooking process. It adds a rich, slightly dangerous sweetness to oriental fragrances. The note of certain leather and tobacco compositions that want an unexpected warm sweetness.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
cilantro
cilantro
labdanum
labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
mushroom
mushroom
Earthy, damp, and slightly umami, mushroom is one of the more surprising and sophisticated notes in contemporary perfumery. It adds a foresty, organic quality that feels genuinely natural rather than constructed. Best used to add intrigue and specificity to woody or earthy compositions.
syrup

Base · 3–12 hrs
georgywood
georgywood
hyacinth
hyacinth
Intensely green and floral with an almost sharp, piercing sweetness, hyacinth is one of spring's most assertive flowers. It has a cold, watery quality alongside its floral richness that makes it feel fresh and slightly dangerous. Polarising in perfumery because of its strength, but magical when well handled.
mushroom
mushroom
Earthy, damp, and slightly umami, mushroom is one of the more surprising and sophisticated notes in contemporary perfumery. It adds a foresty, organic quality that feels genuinely natural rather than constructed. Best used to add intrigue and specificity to woody or earthy compositions.
musk
musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
rosemary
rosemary
Herbal, camphorous, and slightly pine-like, rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with a clean, almost medicinal crispness. It adds freshness and a culinary familiarity to fragrances, grounding more abstract notes in something real. A pillar of classic fougère (fern) fragrances and modern herbal compositions.
