Onyx Concentrate

The low hum of conversation in an intimate gathering, where oud and vanilla intertwine like the threads of a deep discussion over cocktails.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Onyx Concentrate by Aaron Terence Hughes is a fragrance that balances the deep richness of oud and patchouli with the warmth of vanilla and powdery notes. Launched in 2019, this composition was created to evoke an atmosphere of sophistication and depth, drawing on the house's commitment to ethical practices and fine craftsmanship. The rose adds a subtle floral touch, while warm spices infuse the scent with a hint of complexity.

How to wear it

Apply Onyx Concentrate to pulse points for maximum longevity; the warm spices and powdery base notes will continue to develop throughout the day. The fragrance is best experienced close to skin rather than from a distance, so don't be afraid to layer it in small amounts as needed.
