Alien Alternative: Meet No04, Our Luminous, Magnetic Eau de Parfum

Most florals aim for pretty. The fragrance that inspired No04 aims for something stranger and more magnetic entirely, a radiant, almost otherworldly jasmine built on a uniquely simple, confident structure. A full bottle of the designer original typically costs upwards of 90 pounds.

No04 was built for anyone who loves that luminous, mysterious character but would rather wear it as often as they like. Here is an honest look at both.

What Makes the Original So Distinctive

The fragrance that inspired No04 opens with a radiant burst of Jasmine Sambac, a floral so profound it feels almost ethereal. As it unfolds, the heart weaves in the rich, musky warmth of a cashmere wood accord, before softening into enveloping tones of white amber. What makes this fragrance so memorable is its simplicity, three ideas, jasmine, cashmere wood and white amber, executed with total confidence rather than a crowded note list trying to do everything at once.

Meet No04

No04 is our Eau de Parfum built around that same minimalist, confident structure: radiant Jasmine Sambac, a warm cashmere wood heart, and a soft white amber base. It is designed to capture that same magnetic, unforgettable character, our own formulation inspired by one of the most distinctive florals in modern perfumery.

It is priced at 14.99 pounds for 50ml and 24.99 pounds for 100ml.

Why Concentration Matters Here

With only three core notes carrying the entire fragrance, there is nowhere to hide a weak formulation. A diluted version of this scent profile falls flat almost immediately, since there are no competing notes to mask a thin jasmine or a faint amber base. No04 is loaded at the maximum fragrance inclusion level the oil will hold, specifically because this minimalist structure demands real strength to work at all.

An Honest Note

No04 captures the mood of a fragrance widely regarded as one of the most unique florals ever released, it is not an identical reproduction of a protected designer formula. What we can promise is a genuinely well-made Eau de Parfum at maximum concentration, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Who Should Wear No04?

This suits anyone who wants a distinctive, slightly unconventional signature scent rather than a typical floral. It works beautifully for evenings and cooler months, when its warmth and radiance have the most presence. For something fresher, browse our wider perfume collection.

Tips for Wearing It Well

• Two sprays is genuinely plenty given how concentrated and radiant this fragrance is at maximum inclusion.
• Apply to warm pulse points to let the cashmere wood heart develop fully.
• Particularly striking in autumn and winter, when its warmth feels most at home.
• Give it twenty minutes before judging it, the jasmine opening evolves noticeably as it settles.

The Bottom Line

The fragrance that inspired No04 earned its reputation by being genuinely unlike anything else on the market. No04 brings that same luminous, magnetic character within easy reach, made by hand in Glossop, formulated at maximum concentration, and priced so you can wear it whenever you want to feel unforgettable.
