A new interpretation of a secret 19th century patchouli perfume formula. Meinrad Hilfiger was a 19th century Maitre Gantier Parfumeur. His secret formula manuscript was handed from one generation to the next, and his great granddaughter used modern ingredients to give his authentic perfume a contemporary interpretation.
This fresh and woody perfume was nominated by The Fragrance Foundation for the prestigious 'Perfume Extraordinaire' 2020 award. This fragrance is a great choice for summer - from the beach through a summer wedding. “The heart is French Rose Absolute from Grasse. The rose petals are hand-picked before sunrise so that they carry the morning dew with them”.
- Perfumer: Catherine Selig
Notes: Top - Bergamot / Ambrette Absolute / Saffron Blossom • Heart: French Rose / Pomegranate / Peony • Base: Patchouli Coeur / Suede / Skin Musk

A.N. OTHER BRAND: Simple is the New Bold. Brands spend a disproportionate amount of money on marketing and gimmicks, leaving only a small budget for the product itself.
A. N. OTHER is different. We have a crystal-clear focus on what’s inside the bottle. Everything else is stripped back to the barest essentials.
The confidence to spend less on nonsense lets us invest more in exceptional craftsmanship and extraordinary ingredients.
- Ariella Appelbaum, Founder
EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP: David Apel won the ‘American Society of Perfumers Young Perfumer Award’ in 1991 and is one of the most recognizable stars in the industry. He also created Hall of Fame perfume Black Orchid for Tom Ford.
We wanted David for our debut collection. So, we gave him total creative control, an unlimited budget, and a promise not to tamper with his work.
The result is OR/2018. Selected by Refinery29 as one of ‘The 10 Best Niche Perfumes To Discover Before Anyone Else’.

NO COVER STORIES: Brands spin expensive cover stories to hide the fact that the same perfumers create scents for almost all brands. The gimmicks and smoke screens are there to keep the perfumers in the dark.
If you strip the cover stories, you will find the same names behind Le Labo, Tom Ford, Byredo, DS & Durga, Frédéric Malle…
We are telling you the story as it is. With the perfumers at the forefront and under the limelight.
