You value the freedom to follow your own path, with room for fresh air, new experiences and time to yourself.

🌊 Free-spirited

You like having space to choose your direction. A change of scenery, a walk outdoors or an unfamiliar place appeals to your curiosity. Freedom means moving at your own pace, rather than following someone else’s expectations.

☀️ Open-minded

You approach new encounters with interest and look for possibilities in everyday life. Your optimism leaves room for uncertainty: you do not need every answer before taking the next step.

🌿 Grounded

Being open to change does not mean losing your bearings. You know what matters to you and make space for it. Taking your place in the world means being yourself, without needing to compete for attention.

Eau 21 is a men’s fragrance with a citrus, aromatic and marine character. Bergamot, lemon, basil and mint give way to jasmine and marine notes, with cedar, oakmoss and sandalwood in the base. Fresh citrus and herbs meet the depth of woods.

💫 Solar Plexus Chakra — 3rd Chakra

Eau 21 takes inspiration from Manipura, the solar plexus chakra, traditionally represented by the colour yellow and associated with confidence and individuality. As you apply your fragrance, take a quiet breath and picture the warmth of the sun. Its mantra, “I am the Source,” is an invitation to pause and return to yourself.

🍋 Lemon

Freshness from the peel

Lemon brings a lively, immediately recognisable citrus scent. Fresh and zesty, it also has green, lightly floral and sometimes subtly sweet nuances. These details give it more depth than a simple sharp citrus note.

In Eau 21, lemon is part of the opening, alongside bergamot, basil and mint. It gives the first impression a crisp freshness, with the herbs adding an aromatic contrast. As the opening settles, jasmine and marine notes come forward.

Grown in Sicily, Italy

Aimée de Mars sources its lemon essential oil from Citrus limon grown in Sicily. The trees develop in a Mediterranean climate shaped by sunshine, rainfall and sea air. The fruit is harvested when ripe, and the aromatic oil is extracted from its peel.

The peel is mechanically cold-pressed, using a method known as sfumatrice. Rather than steam-distilling the fruit, this process expresses the oil from the zest, preserving its fresh citrus character and aromatic complexity.

A bright opening, with room for the heart

As a top note, lemon is among the first scents you notice. Its freshness can lift floral notes and create a clear contrast with woods and resins. In Eau 21, that contrast connects the citrus and herbal opening with the cedar, oakmoss and sandalwood in the base.

Lemon’s opening is relatively short-lived. It gradually makes room for the heart of the fragrance rather than remaining unchanged throughout wear. Its role is to set the fresh tone of the composition.

🌲 Cedar

Wood that gives the fragrance structure

Cedar brings a warm, dry woody character, sometimes recalling sun-warmed timber or a freshly sharpened pencil. Its restrained scent gives a composition definition and depth without needing a sweet or heavy effect.

In Eau 21, cedar sits in the base with oakmoss and sandalwood. Its woody character contrasts with the fresh citrus and herbs above it, giving the fragrance a different texture as the opening recedes.

Three cedar materials in the perfumer’s palette

Aimée de Mars works with three cedar materials: Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica) from Morocco, Virginia cedar (Juniperus virginiana) from the United States, and Texas cedar (Juniperus mexicana Schiede), also from the United States.

Atlas cedar has a warm, resinous woody scent with a softer, rounded character. Virginia cedar is drier and more sharply defined, with the recognisable impression of freshly sharpened pencil wood. Texas cedar offers a fuller woody character, with slightly smoky and subtly leathery nuances.

Cedar essential oil is obtained by steam-distilling the wood. Approximately 35 kilograms of wood yields one kilogram of essential oil. The resulting oil retains the aromatic differences of each material.

A base that connects the notes

Cedar helps give woody accords their shape. It can accompany flowers, contrast with citrus freshness and connect other woods and resins. Its drier qualities provide definition, while warmer facets add depth.

As a base note, cedar develops more slowly than the citrus opening. In Eau 21, it forms part of the woody foundation beneath jasmine and marine notes, together with oakmoss and sandalwood.

🍊 Bergamot

Citrus freshness with a subtle bitterness

Bergamot combines fresh, zesty citrus with a gentle sweetness and a slightly bitter edge. Light floral nuances, reminiscent of lavender, add another layer to its scent. These contrasts distinguish it from the more direct freshness of lemon.

In Eau 21, bergamot opens the fragrance with lemon, basil and mint. Its citrus character complements the lemon, while its softer floral facets lead towards the jasmine in the heart.

Grown in Calabria, Italy

Aimée de Mars selects Citrus bergamia grown in Calabria, southern Italy. The region’s mild climate, between sea and mountains, provides the growing conditions for the fruit. Once ripe, the bergamots are harvested and their peel is mechanically cold-pressed.

This extraction method, known as sfumatrice, releases the essential oil from the zest while preserving its fresh aromatic character. The bergamot used in Eau 21 is furocoumarin-free.

A top note that links citrus, flowers and woods

Bergamot is widely used in Eau de Cologne and other fresh fragrances. It also works with floral, spicy, woody and resinous materials, bringing a fresh contrast without masking their individual character.

Its presence is most noticeable in the opening. As the top notes soften, the heart becomes clearer. In Eau 21, this progression moves from citrus and aromatic herbs towards jasmine and marine notes, above the woody base.

Aiméenolide®, an innovation inspired by nature

In 2024, Aimée de Mars reached a milestone by reformulating its entire fragrance range with ingredients of 100% natural origin.

At the heart of this development is Aiméenolide®, created by the brand’s perfumer. This natural fixative, composed mainly of iris, carrot and sandalwood, replaces the synthetic musks traditionally used to help fragrances last longer.

This innovation reflects Aimée de Mars’ belief that nature provides the materials needed to create high-quality fragrances, bringing together lasting scent, natural ingredients and the pleasure of wearing perfume.

We like Eau 21 for the contrast between its fresh citrus and herbs, its marine heart and its woody base. It is an eau de parfum for men who enjoy a fresh scent with aromatic detail.

🍋 Freshness with more than one dimension — Lemon and bergamot bring a zesty opening, while basil and mint add a distinct herbal character.

The Art of Perfuming

Take a moment to enjoy applying Eau 21 with this six-step ritual. Follow it at your own pace, or simply spray and enjoy your fragrance.

1. Hold your bottle — Eau 21 contains spring water from Saint-Genulphe, on the family land of founder Valérie Demars. Hold the bottle in your hands and gently trace five infinity signs, ∞, in the air. Let this gesture mark a pause in your day.

2. Listen to your heart — Close your eyes and bring your attention to your heart. Breathe in deeply, then breathe out slowly. Take a few moments without trying to achieve anything. Simply notice your breath.

3. Apply your fragrance — Spray two or three times in total across your neck and wrists. Take your time and enjoy the gesture as a small act of care for yourself.

4. Let your senses guide you — Wait a few moments for the fragrance to unfold. Bring your wrists towards your face and gently breathe in the scent. Notice whether it brings a memory, an image or a feeling, or simply enjoy smelling it.

5. Say the mantra — Read the phrase inside your box. Eau 21’s mantra is “I am the Source.” If the words speak to you, repeat them aloud or quietly to yourself, without needing to interpret them.

6. Continue your day — Take the fragrance with you as you return to your day. You can come back to this small pause whenever you notice its scent.

Focus on your solar plexus — Eau 21 takes inspiration from Manipura, the third chakra, associated with the solar plexus and the colour yellow. If you wish, focus your attention on this area and picture a sun radiating warmth as you apply your fragrance to your neck and wrists.

⚠️ Read the “Precautions” section carefully before use.

🍋 Citrus oil comes from the peel, not the juice

The familiar scent released when you handle lemon zest comes from aromatic oil in the peel. For lemon and bergamot, mechanical expression squeezes this oil from the outer, coloured rind. The oil is then separated from water and pieces of peel. This is a different process from squeezing the fruit for its juice.

Aimée de Mars uses cold-pressed lemon from Sicily and bergamot from Calabria. Both contribute to Eau 21’s opening, but they do not smell identical: lemon is lively and zesty, while bergamot adds sweetness, a subtle bitter edge and lightly floral nuances.

🍊 Bergamot has a life beyond the perfume bottle

Bergamot is the citrus fruit behind the distinctive aroma of Earl Grey tea. In perfumery, it has a long association with Eau de Cologne, where its fresh character complements flowers and aromatic herbs. It was also used to scent small papier-mâché boxes for keepsakes and letters.

Its usefulness comes from the range within its scent. Bergamot can be zesty, gently sweet, slightly bitter and lightly lavender-like at the same time. Lemon, too, has green, floral and subtly sweet facets beneath its sharper freshness. These nuances give Eau 21’s citrus opening detail beyond a single lemon-like scent.

🌲 Not every “cedar” is a true cedar

Cedar is a familiar name in perfumery, but it can refer to materials from different botanical groups. Atlas cedar belongs to the Cedrus genus. Virginia cedar, Juniperus virginiana, is actually a juniper in the cypress family, Cupressaceae.

Also known as eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana has aromatic, reddish-brown heartwood traditionally used for cedar chests. Its common names include “pencil cedar,” an apt connection with the freshly sharpened pencil impression of its scent.

Aimée de Mars works with Atlas, Virginia and Texas cedar materials. Their scents range from warm and resinous to dry and sharply defined, or fuller with smoky and subtly leathery nuances. A shared name does not mean an identical scent.

💧 Wood and citrus call for different extraction methods

Unlike cold-pressed citrus peel, cedar wood is steam-distilled to obtain its essential oil. The raw material is the wood, rather than the leaves or fruit. Different plant parts and extraction methods provide perfumers with different aromatic materials.

In Eau 21, citrus notes form part of the opening, while cedar joins oakmoss and sandalwood in the base. This brings together the freshness of fruit peel and the warmer, drier character of wood in one composition.

✨ The note pyramid describes a changing fragrance

Top, heart and base notes describe how a fragrance unfolds, rather than three separate perfumes. Eau 21 begins with bergamot, lemon, basil and mint. As the opening softens, jasmine and marine notes become clearer, with cedar, oakmoss and sandalwood forming the base.

The stages overlap. The citrus does not need to disappear completely before you notice the heart or woods. Trying the fragrance over time lets you discover more than its first impression, which is one reason to explore the 1.5 ml sample on your skin before choosing a larger bottle.

🌊 Marine describes a scent, not a named botanical ingredient

In Eau 21’s fragrance pyramid, “marine notes” describe the heart’s sea-air character alongside jasmine. The term is a scent description, not the name of a single plant.

The fragrance pyramid and the ingredient list serve different purposes: one describes what you smell and how the composition develops; the other lists the ingredients. A named scent note is not necessarily listed separately in the ingredients.

⏳ A natural fixative developed for the fragrance range

In 2024, Aimée de Mars reformulated its fragrance range with ingredients of 100% natural origin. Aiméenolide®, developed by its perfumer and composed mainly of iris, carrot and sandalwood, is a natural fixative used in place of synthetic musks to help prolong the scent.

Eau 21 combines this approach with organic, undenatured wheat alcohol and spring water from Saint-Genulphe.
