A . N Other Limited-Edition Fragrances

"A. N. Other was born out of a belief that there's a purer way to craft and sell luxury fragrances. A way that makes signature scents accessible by investing in what goes into the bottle, not what goes inside the pages of a glossy magazine. No expensive boutiques or lavish adverts. Just Parfum grade scents created from the finest ingredients and sold directly to the people that love them."

"Each year they offer the most exciting perfumers in the world an opportunity to create the four core scents: floral, woody, orients and fresh. Then they leave them alone. Great perfumery is an art, and they believe artists create their best work when they work without constraint. That's why they will never issue fragrance briefs or compromise on ingredients."

For $5, you can buy a sample sealed inside a label with each fragrance from Collection/18 incorporated into a concentrated gel. The cost will be deducted from your purchase once you've found your fragrance.

A. N. Other was kind enough to send me a 15ML bottle of each of their Collection/18, which gave me a chance to wear them all in public and really experience the delicate changes that occur throughout the day as perfumes often do. When a scent is applied to your skin, it mixes with your own oils and becomes a personal fragrance for each person.

Here are each perfume's description and my impressions before reading any of the provided material for each scent.


I first tried FL/18, the most feminine of all of the collection. "This complex, yet playful exploration of light and dark textures brings a modern twist to classic perfumer 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."

My Impression - Wow! I was way off! Initially it seemed a bit overwhelming, like an older lady's scent. Perhaps I applied it too liberally. The first notes I (thought I) smelled was white lilies. Then it seemed to have a fruit smell, like plums or pomegranates. By the end of the day I was catching notes of magnolia or cherry blossoms.

My husband didn't care for it at first, but as I said, I think I put far too much on. It's strong so it doesn't take much. These perfumes could last a long time. He thought it was too flowery. But later in the day he loved it and said it smelled of citrus. What does he know? What do I know??? 😋


FR/18 draws "inspiration from the resurgence of classic gin cocktails, aldehydic top notes shake the clean blend of crisp juniper and Madagascan ginger alive with a freshness that fizzes and excites the senses. Metallic musk unifies a perfectly mixed blend enhancing each note and completing the composition."

My Impression - I was far more accurate detecting notes with this perfume. I found it to be somewhat masculine. A scent I wouldn't mind on my own husband. I first smelled alcohol, like gin. But the second scent was most like clean linen to me. However, I definitely picked out the musk towards the end.

Surprisingly, my husband did not like it. Perhaps because it was on me. He's never smelled a masculine perfume on me. If he'd had it on himself, I bet he would've liked it much better.


OR/18 is "a dreamy blend of the exotic and the familiar. This exceptional perfume with a driftwood base uses a rare cannabis accord to accentuate mystical incense notes. Sweet citrus, coffee aromas and edible notes of chocolate and bakery come alive on the skin as the perfume dries."

MY IMPRESSION - I once again was way off with my guesses of what I was smelling. Honestly, this one reminded me so much of a perfume my mother wore during my youth. It was an AVON scent called Imari. Imari is described as having top notes of Italian lemon, bergamot, aldehydes; middle notes of iris, jasmine, rose; and dry notes of amber, vanilla, patchouli. Honestly, I never felt Imari smelled like its description.

I did pick up the the lightest of coffee and chocolate, but much of the bakery, which came off strongly of vanilla. Over the course of the day it faded into a nice, light fragrance.

The husband said eloquently, and I quote, "It's alright."


The last that I tried was WD/18. "Created to fully harness the power of the olfactory senses, this perfume utilizes the tranquil and nourishing qualities of sandalwood to enhance concentration and awaken intuition. An infusion  of lush, effervescent pear at the top adds a distinct uplifting quality and an unmistakably modern appeal."

MY IMPRESSIONS - I immediately thought of the forest. My husband however, thought of spices. Thyme, maybe, and I had to agree. This was not a strong scent, but it lasted all day in my bedroom. It was lovely to come home to and fall asleep to. A very pleasant perfume, although I would prefer it on my husband.

These fragrances are created by iconic perfumers, comparable in quality and craftsmanship to premium, and very expensive brands, that sell north of $150 for 50ML and $250 for 100ML. You're receiving a 65% discount that is already reflected in their pricing since at the core of their brand is the philosophy that everyone should be able to afford and enjoy high-end, fine fragrance.

I very much enjoyed experimenting with A. N. Other's unique perfumes. They were all vastly different and distinctive. I also owe a giant apology and thank you to the company and the kind associates who forgave my delinquency getting this blog posted due to personal issues. 

I urge you all to order the sampler because, as it's been stated, scents can differ on each individual because of body oils. You can obtain it by visiting their website, https://an-other.com/shop/try-at-home/. And remember, the $5 fee will be credited to your first full-size purchase.
