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

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 Tango Americano (OR/2018). Selected by Refinery29 as one of ‘The 10 Best Niche Perfumes To Discover Before Anyone Else’.

Catherine Selig didn’t hold back when we removed the shackles of budget, and used an ingredient more expensive than gold.

There is a secret to making this ingredient. Picture a dark and chilly early morning in Grasse, as the French farmers harvest a special rose before sunrise. They handpick the tender petals while the fresh morning dew still clings to them, following a tradition that has run in their families for generations. And just as ancient is the artisanal process they use to manually extract the oil from the petals. It takes 1 ton of these rose petals – enough to fill a barn – to make only 1kg of the rose you have in Ultimate Patchouli.

“I carry the entire Maison Francis Kurkdjian line and A. N. OTHER is as good as any of them.” (Nasreen. Owner of a niche fragrance boutique)

“The quality is off the scale in all the fragrances from @anotherfragrances. If you haven’t already, check out the collection of fantastic fragrances. I can’t recommend them enough.” (Steven Bishop-Wylde. Fragrance blogger @alifeinscent)

“It has parallels with Frédéric Malle, but the result is very different. A. N. Other perfumes are very unisex, very modern and very affordable.” (Lorenzo Vasini. Owner of a niche fragrance boutique)

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, and Frédéric Malle.

We are telling you the story as it is. With the perfumers at the forefront and under the limelight.

The entire collection is gender-neutral.

Our perfumes don't contain parabens, phthalates, dyes, or animal products.

The perfume bottles are packed inside cardboard boxes made from zero-petroleum based materials. They decompose quickly and safely without leaving solvent residue or micro-plastics.
