The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Narcissus by Aaron Terence Hughes launched in 2019 as a unisex fragrance that seamlessly blends deep masculinity with a touch of sweetness. The scent opens with the fresh brightness of Bergamot and Fig, creating an immediate sense of freshness and warmth. This gives way to an ozonic heart note, which brings a crisp and airy quality reminiscent of cool mountain air. Finally, it settles into a rich base of Cedarwood and Sandalwood, balanced by Musk, for a lasting impression that is both grounded and alluring.

How to wear it

Narcissus has a strong base that blooms over time, so it’s best to apply early in the day. One or two sprays are sufficient; the ozonic heart notes fade within an hour but the rich base carries through for hours, making it perfect for a full day of wear.
