Montauk Man Debuts Fragrance Collection Inspired by Endless Summer
There’s a side of Montauk that exists long after summer ends, one that’s quieter, moodier, and effortlessly cool. That atmosphere became the foundation for Montauk Man, the new fragrance house created by Andrew Rose after spending a winter on the edge of Long Island. Launching this month, the Eau de Parfum collection captures the feeling of intimate nights, ocean air, and understated luxury through scent.
Working alongside master perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Antoine Maisondieu of Givaudan, Rose developed four distinctive scents that feel refined, sensual, and deeply personal. From fresh and rich to dark and gourmand, each fragrance is designed with layered complexity and exceptional ingredients that linger beautifully on the skin. Montauk Man is modern masculinity bottled; confident, relaxed, and impossible to forget.
All scents share a common foundation: attention to balance, exceptional materials, and layered complexity. Together, they create a scent wardrobe for all occasions, seasons, and moods, to encapsulate the moments and the memories they’ll become.
Montauk Man Collection
Rough Riders
On the furthest stretch of land, a rugged spirit remains. Rough Riders echoes the heart and bravery of storied Americana. Named after Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, this fragrance echoes the cavalry’s journey from Cuba as they sought haven in Montauk after the Spanish-American War. Bright pineapple, dark tobacco, and warm sandalwood create a scent of subtle strength and enduring spirit.
SRP: 90ML, $350
Twice Light
A double illumination of sky and sea, reflecting forces meet. Twice Light reveals nature’s divine expression and infinite glow. Bright and inviting, this fragrance blends bergamot, neroli, and orange flower into an airy harmony.
SRP: 90ML, $350
North Bar
On the northern edge of the coast, swells rise and fold with an unstoppable force. North Bar frames the sand and stone, with every crashing wave renewing the pull to go out again. North Bar is named for a hidden surf spot on the northern edge of the isle, not on any map and only for those who know. Saffron creates a luminous edge, while black leather and dark oud give this fragrance a profound, woody depth.
SRP: 90ML, $350
Amber Boom
Light and shadow blend, as dusk descends. Amber Boom ignites the spark from within, radiating with the afterglow of a golden haze. Capturing this fleeting luminescence, Amber Boom creates a seductive depth with notes of black cherry, rose, and tonka.
SRP: 90ML, $350
The Visionaries behind Montauk Man
Andrew Rose
Andrew Rose grew up spending his summers on the eastern end of Long Island, returning each year to a landscape that felt expansive and formative.
He learned to drive on Old Montauk Highway, worked seasons out east, and came to experience the region beyond its summer façade. As a teenager, he began collecting fragrances, drawn to their ability to hold memory, evolve over time, and preserve emotion in a way language often cannot. That early fascination became a lifelong pursuit.
After spending a winter living in Montauk and experiencing it at its most raw and quiet, Rose created Montauk Man to translate the intensity of the place into fragrance, capturing its contrast of solitude, beauty, and edge.
Rodrigo Flores-Roux
Rodrigo Flores-Roux is a Senior Perfumer and Vice President of Fragrance Creation at Givaudan. Trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, he has created modern icons for Tom Ford, Clinique, John Varvatos, Dolce & Gabbana, and Calvin Klein, earning multiple FiFi Awards and induction into the Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame. Known for his clarity, sensuality, and architectural balance, Rodrigo developed North Bar, Amber Boom, and Twice Light for Montauk Man. Working closely with founder Andrew Rose through immersive time in Montauk, he translated the brand’s vision into compositions that are refined, expressive, and enduring.
Antoine Maisondieu
Antoine Maisondieu is a Senior Perfumer at Givaudan, trained at the Roure perfumery school in France. His portfolio includes acclaimed fragrances for Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford, Prada, and Burberry, and he is widely respected for his mastery of natural materials and modern structure.
After spending immersive time in Montauk with Andrew and his family, Antoine composed Rough Riders—a fragrance defined by depth, character, and quiet strength. His work brings dimension and gravitas to the Montauk Man collection.
The Montauk Man debut collection is officially available HERE and in-store at Violet Grey East Hampton and Wyld Blue Montauk.
