Annette Neuffer
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The initial assault is green and peppery—lime and bitter orange collide with juniper and rosemary, whilst black pepper crackles across the top like fresh peppercorns striking a heated pan. Bergamot and mint add a dual-layered citrus complexity that feels measured and intentional rather than reflexively cheerful.
The spicy elements begin their gentle retreat as geranium and lavender establish themselves with creamy, powdery contours. Tunisian orange blossom deepens the composition, introducing a honeyed warmth that contrasts beautifully with the mineral coolness of silver fir. The fragrance transforms from bright and sharp into something more contemplative and textured.
Resinous base notes take command—frankincense and mastic create a smoky, temple-like quality whilst hyraceum adds a leathery, slightly feral undertone. Cedarwood, oakmoss, and vetiver settle into a woody, earthy foundation that persists with understated presence, gradually becoming more intimate and skin-close as the hours progress.
Hepster opens with the bracing clarity of someone who's just walked through a citrus grove after rainfall. Green bitter orange and lime arrive with genuine sharpness—not the synthetic bite of air freshener, but the pith-laden intensity of fruit crushed between palms. Juniper berry and rosemary reinforce this herbal-botanical character, whilst black pepper and nutmeg add a subtle spice that prevents the composition from becoming merely refreshing. It's architectural rather than pretty, masculine-leaning without pretension.
As the heart emerges, geranium and lavender soften the edges without compromising the fragrance's angular personality. Tunisian orange blossom introduces a creamy, almost animalic warmth—that characteristic honey-skin quality that prevents this from reading as a straightforward aromatic fougère. Silver fir adds a mineral woodiness, like inhaling deeply in a Nordic forest. The green and spicy accords (76% and 88% respectively) maintain their grip throughout.
