The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

High Voltage by Aaron Terence Hughes is a composition that balances the vibrant brightness of citrus with the warm embrace of amber and musk. Launched in 2022, this unisex fragrance opens with a burst of grapefruit, lemon, and orange, creating an invigorating first impression. As it settles into its heart, ambroxan and patchouli add depth, while the woody base notes of sandalwood and amberwood lend a lasting warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

High Voltage has a strong sillage and long-lasting qualities, so one or two sprays are sufficient to capture its full essence. It projects well from the skin, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a scent that announces itself without being overpowering.
