Aenotus

On a rocky bluff at the edge of the mythical isle of Aeolia, a mythic God tends to the divine winds. At a moment’s notice, he is ready to release them in all their elemental force, to sweep across the lands of ancient Europe, carrying in their embrace the contrasting powers of creation and destruction. This is the power of Aenotus, itself a fragrance of contrast: freshness and warmth, comfort and primal power.

While Puredistance founder Jan Ewoud Vos has a personal connection to every scent, Aenotus was conceived to be his signature- a scent that had to be instantly refreshing, while also presenting a rich, long-lasting second phase more sophisticated than your average “fresh” scent. And with the help of master perfumer Antoine Lie, Aenotus delivers, wowing us with an eye-popping, euphoric burst of complex citrus and mint notes that smoothly flows into a warm, deeply sensual base of mossy skin musk that lingers on skin for hours and clothes for days. This rare achievement is possible via Puredistance’s no-matter-the-cost philosophy, as Aenotus boasts an astounding, unprecedented 48% perfume oil concentration developed over three painstaking years. Was it worth it? Close your eyes, spray it on, and when your feet finally touch the ground again, decide for yourself.
