• Top · Rose absolute
• Heart · Raspberry, saffron, blackcurrant
• Base · Ambrostar™, truffle, musk, ATH oud 5%, vanilla absolute, civet absolute, patchouli

Beautifully animalistic

Changes in the regulations on certain raw materials forced Aaron Terence Hughes to revisit the original Onyx formula. Rather than simply replacing what could no longer be used, he rebuilt the fragrance, restoring its animalic character while keeping it balanced and wearable.

At the heart of the new formula, 5% oud gives Onyx its dark depth and impact. Ethically sourced civet absolute brings an animalic dimension: almost unbearable on its own, it is transformed once inside the composition. Rose absolute balances the whole, while vanilla absolute rounds it with warmth and richness.

The olfactory journey

Opening: the rose

Rose absolute opens the fragrance, full and velvety: it sets the tone and holds the balance against the power of the base.

Heart: dark fruits and saffron

Raspberry and blackcurrant bring a dark, juicy fruitiness, saffron a leathery, spicy warmth.

Base: oud and civet

The 5% oud, civet and truffle compose a dense, animalic base, made radiant and sensual by Ambrostar™ (an ambery accord), musk, vanilla and patchouli.
