Description
Etienne Aigner is launching the new women’s fragrance Debut which arrives on the market in June 2013. The perfume is inspired by an elegant woman in a satin dress who attracts everyone’s attention and lures you with her beauty at first glance. Model Malene Knudsen is in the advertising campaign. Wearing her pink satin dress, she suggests the idea and theme of the new fragrance of the house of Aigner.
Top notes of Aigner Debut accentuate fresh fruity aromas of bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and green apple additionally cooled down with petitgrain. The heart incorporates luminous orange blossom, water lily, jasmine and sunflower seed, on a deep, warm and cuddly base of patchouli, cedar, vanilla, white musk and oak moss.
DEBUT arrives as 100ml EDP. The flacon is tall and elegant with pale pink fluid. The color of the outer carton complements the pink shades of the fluid.

A citrusy floral scent. I bought it couple year ago and didnt like it so much. Bought it simply because i love its bottle, so simple and introvert. After years, the juice is still quite full lol i used it rarely … i event lost its cap and box.. didnt put so much attention to this perfume. Just sit there in my shelf for years… And today suddenly i fall in love with this perfume.. an old brand new scent to me. Fresh, light, clean and so rich with mixed fruit scents. A tropical scent… and dry down is not so sweet i think because top and hearts is more dominant…i dont know about perfumery i just feel what i feel… i like it so much and wont take granted for the second time with this gem. Projection and sillage is moderate, and price is affordable so for me is a YES.

I tried Debut this morning at a local drugstore where I went to buy something totally irrelevant, but as a devoted Fragrantica member, I never leave a chance to try perfumes pass me by!
I love drugstores, I can spend hours looking around, especially browsing the cosmetic and perfume shelves where I can find little treasures such as this.
Spicy candied fruits on a musky base with sultry flowers!!! Started fresh but quickly settled without ever becoming really sweet, it kept me good company through the whole day. It even survived a one hour and a half Yoga session, but not the shower that followed.
Impressive longevity, around nine hours and even if it’s not loud it kept projecting, people coming near me could smell it and I received two compliments?!
This isn’t unique nor groundbreaking but it is beautiful and cheery! I’m getting a bottle to enjoy during this still cold rainy spring the soonest possible and I suggest that if you see it, try it!!!

I had high hopes for aigner debut imagigining it a musky orange flower-jasmine scent with a hint of earthy notes to make it more intresting but it has a strong leafy/green note which must be petitgrain which ruins it for me.it opens with a sharp citrus-floral-petitgrain combo.a springy scent but not as fresh as it’s top notes suggest
I was waiting for vanilla and musk to showup and give it feminity or sweetness but they never appeared.it just became lighter,less citrusy and a bit woody.I didn’t like it but still I’d like to try debut by night

A mediocre floral scent that comes along freshly enough so that it can be worn as a business scent. Nothing special, but could be worse (or be labeled “Hugo Boss”, it’s just the same type of modern female all-purpose scents).

Hmm.. i must say i agree with wet tissue thing.. first sniff is fresh, when applied on my wrist, it becomes wet tissue but still acceptable. nice fresh scent..
But when applied on my neck and the back of my ears, it gives me headache..:((
This is my first Aigner and i must say i kinda sorry..
nikitaonline – :
First spray, ugh! it is just like wet tissue with tons of Alcohol that i used to know.. fresh, but nothing special since i only get a bit of jasmine and musk for the dry down..
Poor longevity and sillage also..

In my country Indonesia, Aigner Debut is only $25 for 50 ml. very affordable like Elizabeth Arden and Guess.

Had a chance to sample. Goes on sharp and green fresh. In the sea of samples and new flankers, this fragrance was rather unique and pleasing.
It is light and airy, low/moderate sillage. In terms of longevity it develops and dries down into a lovely musky still citrus-lily scent that does last for several hours; 4+ on skin, longer on fabric.
Beautiful bottle, but over-priced.

Such a beautiful description of the fragrance: “The perfume is inspired by an elegant woman in a satin dress who attracts everyone’s attention and lures you with her beauty at first glance.” And such a dissapointment after trying it. First, when i sprayed it onto papaer blot, i couldn´t detect almost nothing, so i thought it´s my nose so i sprayed it generously onto my both wrists.
A bit sharp and bitter opening thanks to petitgrain and orange blossom. But it turns very quickly into very light (supposedly just like the dress in advertising) and airy (almost undetectable) jasmine scent mixed with bergamote. And there is a water lily which gives even more airness to this fragrance. The vanilla is very light here and musk is more detectable, but no patchouli for my nose in here.
Super soft sillage and very weak lasting power. I can´t smell anything after 1 hour.
The bottle is actually so lovely and very pretty because of it´s simplicity and clean lines, also the colour, but the fragrance itself is a huge dissapointment. You won´t be making a memmorable debut wearing this one sadly. And for the price over 60 euros for 50ml, i don´t know what they were thinking.
Sad. Aigner has actually some really nice fragrances just not this one this time.
P.S. This one is also available in 30ml and 50ml as well as in 100ml sizes.
Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every review should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.
