First Class

First Class by Etienne Aigner presents a refined, mature masculine scent with a strong office or professional context. It opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot, grapefruit, and apple, balanced by a subtle touch of pink pepper, giving it a liveliness that avoids being generic or flat. The heart features a smooth blend of jasmine, melon, and earthy aromatic elements, creating a layered yet unobtrusive profile. The drydown reveals a woody, earthy base of patchouli, vetiver, oakmoss, and amber, lending depth and structure. The scent evolves into something quietly elegant and tailored—reminiscent of Dunhill Icon and Terre de Hermès but lighter and more accessible, with more nuanced character than the original. It performs best during daywear, especially in spring and summer, due to its fresh yet grounded nature and moderate sillage. Longevity is moderate rather than long, and the scent maintains a dignified presence without overwhelming.
