Strictly No.01

Strictly No.01 by the Dutch brand Van Gils, released in 2024 for men, is built around a single named note: whiskey.

Whiskey in perfumery brings a warm, boozy and slightly sweet character, often with nuances of oak, caramel, smoke and dried fruit, depending on how it is interpreted. It tends to feel rich and grown-up, evoking a tumbler of amber spirit in a wood-panelled room. A whiskey-focused composition usually reads as cosy and intimate rather than fresh, warming up on skin over time.

Its boozy warmth suits autumn and winter, evenings and relaxed social occasions such as dinners, bars or nights in by the fire. It should appeal to men who enjoy liquor-inspired scents and want something warm and characterful, with the smooth, slightly smoky depth that a whiskey note can bring.
