The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 and crafted by Nathalie Feisthauer, L’Homme Aux Gants is an Oriental Woody fragrance that marries the warmth of vanilla and oud with a fresh spicy top note. The composition opens with nutmeg before transitioning into the heart notes of cypriol oil and hedione, which bring a woody depth and subtle spiciness. As it settles, the base layers of vanilla, tonka bean, agarwood (oud), guaiac wood, benzoin, gurjan balsam, cedar, musk, and patchouli create an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and enigmatic.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact. Start with one spray to allow the fresh spicy top notes to introduce themselves before adding another layer after an hour to let the rich base notes fully bloom. This composition is best enjoyed close to skin, where its warmth and depth can be truly appreciated.
