Launched in 2020 by Aaron Terence Hughes, Alpha Man is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances bright citrus with earthy woods and warm spices. The opening notes of bergamot and neroli create an immediate freshness, which then transitions into the heart of cedarwood, vetiver, and sandalwood. These woody accords are grounded by patchouli and tonka bean, adding a touch of warmth and depth without overpowering the composition. The fragrance is a proof of Aaron Terence Hughes' commitment to ethical practices and exceptional craftsmanship.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the citrus opening fades within an hour but leaves behind a warm, woody base that lasts throughout the day. The fragrance reads best close to skin rather than projecting across a room.
