A masculine gem

Hello fragrance friends I'm here to speak on a little known classic that of course has been discontinued. It's called Statement Eau de Toilette launched in 1994 by the German fragrance house Etienne Aigner. A very masculine offering made in the image of past greats like Azzaro PH, Quorum by Antonio Puig, Davidoff EDT By Zino Davidoff etc. It has spice it has a woody middle stanza and an earthy and slightly animalic base that all adds up to one thing and one thing only. CLASS! This fragrance takes you back and reminds you of how men's fragrances USED to be and also let's you know that unfortunately that time has passed. All I can say is thank the Lord for Vintages because that's about 80% of my arsenal. I didn't plan it that way but that's just what I like. I grew up in the 1970s and as a young lad I vividly and fondly remember my father wearing Halston Z-14 and Grey Flannel. That's when my interest in fragrances started. Anyway this fragrance to me just wears very well even though the longevity isn't the greatest but that aside it has a lot of notes you don't see much anymore and they all fit together perfectly and lastly it has one of the most eye catching bottles I've seen. It looks great next to my other classics. The spicy woody scent is one of my favorites and you should definitely check it out and give it a wear or two.

A true classic men's fragrance

It's time for me to champion the Etienne Aigner fragrances ...

Unfortunately, the fragrance division is disconnected and detached from the company, which stands for fine leather and bags in Germany like hardly any other and has remained understated, still maintaining its modest headquarters in the backyard of a Munich residential area. The rights to the fragrances have been passed back and forth between various corporations a few times, and large advertising campaigns are a thing of the past. Perhaps this is the reason why the fragrances play a subordinate role at the major perfumery chains, and we tend to know them more from the advertising flyers of cheap drugstore chains or the discount tables of large department stores. However, the fragrances are much better than their reputation.

A true classic has now become Statement. A simple clear glass bottle with a stylized banderole, proudly displaying the name, while the company emblem is still placed in a rather minimalist and discreet manner. The massive silver cap promises solidity, while the amber-colored liquid conveys naturalness and classic elegance.

From the very first sniff, one recognizes the numerous fragrance nuances that characterize a classic men's scent. Green and herb-fresh notes form the beginning, without ever coming across as too citrusy. Quickly, fruity and slightly floral, but also masculine-herbaceous accents follow, and the fragrance develops a wonderful breadth. Later, the familiar classics of moss, leather, musk, and cedar form a solid and soft foundation on which the fragrance can further evolve. Styrax and amber add slight airy-resinous accents.

In contrast to some modern fragrances, this may sound like a lot, perhaps too much. But this variety forms the basis for a very long-lasting, varied, and pleasant progression of the fragrance, which thus will hardly become boring in the long run. On the contrary, depending on the season and temperature, the fragrance develops a little differently each time - exciting if you enjoy that sort of thing! The longevity increases through the variety to a respectable 16 hours, the projection is intense but still moderate, not at all intrusive or overpowering.

Statement has all the elements of a classic men's fragrance: intense, spicy, distinctive, masculine, pleasant. Perhaps a bit old-school, but that’s what makes it a modern classic.

The early nineties...

One can complain about the decline of the fragrance division of the AIGNER brand as much as one wants; one can denounce and condemn the artificial or trivial scents and mourn the good old days -

STATEMENT

stands out, in my opinion, from the current range of the brand.

In a rather typical early nineties manner (classic modernity?), it starts right upon spraying with green lavender and citrus notes, without becoming herbal-lemonade-like. Soon, a fruity core appears, which I personally consider the most pleasant part of the scent progression; here, no single fruit dominates, and at least no trendy superfood fruits newly discovered in Upper Amazon rainforest markets for commercialization in Europe are being touted.

STATEMENT

creates a good balance between the lightness of life discovered at that time (resolution of the East-West conflict, German reunification, RTL Saturday Night!) and the fading territorial marking attitude of the powerhouse era on the other hand.
The fruity heart is framed and kept in check by a light leather note and a somewhat stronger woody note. Floral notes develop on my skin only later and not too strongly; I wouldn't actually pick out the mentioned lily of the valley. However, I perceive quite a bit of galbanum - this scent note has proven to be one of my favorites over my few years of perfumery! In the end, after many hours of wearing, a warm, woody-green, and subtly floral aroma remains on the skin. Delicate hints of honey could also be quite possible.

Mr. Chnokfir has actually named it perfectly: a "magnificent breadth." This is, in my opinion, an accurate characterization of this fragrance. I find

STATEMENT

convincingly crafted. Although it leans towards a classic men's fragrance, it is still too fresh-fruity to come off as truly old school. Perhaps I am slowly reaching the age where one is allowed and wants to wear something a bit more serious... *winks*

Even after wearing it often, I still enjoy the scent quite a bit - which I cannot consistently say about some highly praised and often expensive fragrances. I am primarily thinking of gourmands, sweet oud perfumes, or Aventus along with its many (mostly cheaper) copies. In comparison, Aigner feels like a nasal shower and somehow grounds you.

STATEMENT

thus remains a counterbalance to the other more modern fragrances in my collection - on the one hand, because I genuinely like it as a representative of its time, and on the other hand, as a reminder that the selling price does not necessarily correspond to the quality of the product. One can obviously smell good even for little money. This should be emphasized more often, especially in the luxury segment.
In short: a middle-class masculine fragrance, easily wearable and very fairly priced!

Great Memories

Actually, I didn't want to buy any more fragrances from Aigner after "Private Number" disappointed me so endlessly. After that scratchy plastic fruit salad scent, I was completely fed up with the brand. The reason I dared to make the purchase today is due to the comments from pudelbonzo and Chnokfir. And of course, because Rossmann has the 125 ml spray bottle on sale for an incredible €13.99.

Everything that the two wrote resonates with me: a slight citrus note, subtle floral hints, and then a lot of woody-fresh spice that remains at a consistent level for a long time without ever becoming intrusive or overwhelming. I want to leave it at that and not break the scent down into its components, as one can really overanalyze a fragrance. The statement works as a whole.

And it reminds me incredibly of a scent I loved in the nineties. It could almost be a scent twin. Back then, I preferred fragrances from Mülhens and Jade. So mainly Sumatra Rain, Galileo de Viento, Jade Zoom, or Jade Feature come to mind. Sumatra Rain was fruitier and less woody, Jade Zoom sweeter, if I remember correctly. So really, only Galileo de Viento or Jade Feature are left. I don't really care, because I am absolutely happy with this scent and am extremely annoyed that I didn't try it much earlier.

For the blissful memories, the scent itself, and the absolute value for money (even I, as a little penny pincher, would gladly pay the MSRP of €47.99 for this fragrance), I can only give it 10 points. I simply like this scent 100 percent. If the bottle size of 125 ml weren't so generously sized and if Rossmann didn't regularly have this fragrance on offer, I would buy two more packs right now.

I thank all the commentators who have dedicated themselves to this fragrance. Without you, this great scent would have remained unknown to me. A fragrance that is largely underrated and misunderstood, while aquatic sugary waters are praised to the skies.

Expressiveness

My husband doesn't wear fragrances unless they are hidden in shower gels.
So wrapped up, a scent is welcome to him.

And for some time now, he has been raving about Statement - which I also like on him when he enters the room freshly showered.

This fragrance is for the man who stands by his statement - not for "flip-floppers".
A man like a tree - and not like a bush - character-wise.

And today, my husband took action and bought the EDT - but unfortunately not for himself, but for his best friend.
Both are rugged nature-loving foresters - and the forested environment fits well with the scent.
The green notes, mixed with deep lavender and clear neroli, are surely harmonious companions in the dark fir.

But there are also contemplative moments with sweet lily of the valley and flowery rose geraniums on a forest meadow, where the shy wildlife grazes comfortably.
Oak moss rises from the damp forest floor and mingles with the pungent smell of leather boots.
The cedar adds a resinous scent.

For me, a beautiful outdoor fragrance that skillfully reflects the diversity and tranquility of nature without pushing itself to the forefront.

Statement emphasizes nature - without overpowering it.

Classic - masculine - stuffy!
Not for guys who wear pants,
that look like they've crapped themselves.

1st hour a lot of leather, 2nd hour slightly scratchy fruity synthetic, then a sweet-fruity leather that is worth testing :)

Bright fougère scent, typical of the 90s. Here it’s a bit more distinctive and has more leather and aftershave charm than others: good!

Underestimated brand, scent is moderate. Each 1/3 distinguished old-school men's fragrance, powerhouse 80s, and fruit gum. Hint of new masculine sweetness.
