Signature
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia, Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project of fragrance auteur Peter Charkalis, its name blending his own and his daughters’ middle names. Guided by the Japanese principle of kaizen—continuous improvement—Charkalis brings an eclectic, globe-spanning sensibility to scents that are bold, sophisticated, and delightfully unconventional. Standouts such as Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa showcase inspirations drawn from world cuisine and culture. In 2024 he introduced Maullu, a premium line co-created with acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu, further elevating the brand’s commitment to top-tier ingredients and artistry.
Scent Description
Signature is an extremely masculine scent which is a unique formulation from the mind of Peter Charkalis. The scent notes are straightforward, Bourbon on top followed by a strong hit of Tobacco ending in Sandalwood and Agarwood. Upon first encounter, Signature has a slightly sweet and intoxicating bouquet, likely due to the bourbon, but the tobacco quickly takes over and as it dries down the woods come increasingly to the fore. What's left is a deep, dry, woody and slightly boozy aroma, with lots of tobacco which is sophisticated and manly, but not subtle. Possibly a bit assertive for the office.
