Montauk Man, a new fragrance house founded by Andrew Rose following a winter on the eastern edge of Long Island, has launched a collection of four Eau de Parfum offerings this month. Each is priced at $350 for a 90-milliliter bottle and available in-store at Violet Grey East Hampton and Wyld Blue Montauk.
Montauk Man's new range captures the essence of intimate nights, ocean air, and understated luxury through layered complexity and exceptional ingredients that linger on the skin. The collection includes Rough Riders, Twice Light, Amber Boom, and North Bar. The first expression blends bright pineapple, dark tobacco, and warm sandalwood to evoke a rugged, storied Americana spirit inspired by Teddy Roosevelt's cavalry. The second scent features bergamot, neroli, and orange flower for a bright, airy harmony reflecting the interplay of sky and sea. North Bar combines saffron with black leather and dark oud for a profound, woody depth named after a hidden surf spot, while Amber Boom layers black cherry, rose, and tonka to create a seductive depth reminiscent of dusk's golden haze.
