A.N Other Fragrance

A.N Other fragrances have each been curated by a world renowned perfumer. The company challenges perfumers to come up with their perfect scent – without limitations in budget, ingredients, or narrow briefs to adhere to.

One scent is then selected to come to market for a limited time. A.N Other’s goal is to provide high quality fragrances at a more affordable price than the big fragrance companies whose prices are hiked up by expensive marketing campaigns.

The fragrances are all gender-neutral, and free from parabens, phthalates, dyes, and toxins. They come present in a luxury-feel cardboard presentation box made from recycled cardboard.

This complex, yet playful exploration of light and dark textures brings a modern twist to classic perfumery notes. A rich base of sumptuous dark leather is punctuated by the elegance of night blooming jasmine. Nostalgic notes of sweet cotton candy and herbal mate add a contemporary lightness to the perfume. Hidden notes that emerge as the fragrance dries down surprise you when you think you really know it.

“I can create with notes and materials that really interest me without having to worry about price or commerciality. It’s very liberating. It encourages creativity, and it means that I can create something very meaningful to me that has great quality.”

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.

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, a warm perfume that projects comfort and confidence.

PROTECTING THE PLANET

The entire collection is gender-neutral. We use only clean ingredients. Our perfumes don’t contain parabens, phthalates, dyes, toxins, or animal products. We respect the planet.

The materials we use are sustainable and made by companies that enforce modern environmental standards. Our glass bottles are made in Italy. The magnetic caps are made in France from a plant-based resin, in a cradle-to-grave sustainable manufacturing process.

Our packaging is 100% plastic-free and eliminates a secondary shipping box. It’s made in the US from recycled cardboard and 100% biodegradable organic paper.
