Aromatic Depth
ÉCLATAUR KNIGHT is a clean men’s cologne – a fresh, aromatic Eau de Parfum handcrafted in Texas by the founder of ÉCLATAUR. Part of the ÉCLATAUR Collection, this small batch men’s perfume is built on 200-proof organic grain alcohol at 20-25% concentration, fortified with the VELUM longevity system, and macerated for thirty days before release.
KNIGHT opens with green apple, ginger, and Calabrian bergamot, develops through sage, juniper berries, and geranium, and settles into amberwood, tonka bean, Virginian cedar, vetiver, and olibanum. A clean men’s cologne built for the man who values modern sophistication. Pair with LEGENDE for a spicier layering or with PULSE for added warmth.
The Scent Journey
What Does KNIGHT Smell Like? The Clean Men’s Cologne Accord
Act One
The Opening
Top Notes
Green Apple · Ginger · Calabrian Bergamot
KNIGHT opens with crisp confidence – green apple sharp and sweet, ginger adding a dry spice, bergamot brightening the entire accord. The first impression is clean, modern, and immediately masculine, a clean men’s cologne that feels like a freshly pressed shirt and an unhurried stride.
Act Two
The Heart
Heart Notes
Sage · Juniper Berries · Geranium
The heart is where KNIGHT earns its name. Sage introduces an herbal crispness, juniper berries add a dry, resinous edge, and geranium bridges the freshness with a green floral warmth. This is the aromatic core that elevates KNIGHT beyond ordinary colognes – clean enough for any setting, complex enough to hold attention.
Act Three
The Base
Base Notes
Amberwood · Tonka Bean · Virginian Cedar · Vetiver · Olibanum
The dry-down settles into warm amberwood and tonka bean sweetness, grounded by Virginian cedar, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of sacred olibanum. This is the VELUM system at work – a woody base that holds the aromatic freshness for 10 hours or more, sophisticated and grounded as quiet confidence.

Provenance
Handcrafted In Texas The ÉCLATAUR Standard
ÉCLATAUR was born from a question: what if I made something better, the way you would make it for the people you love most? The founder built the first fragrances for family, not for a market. Every bottle of KNIGHT is still held to that original standard: if it would not be given to family, it will not be sold to you.
The ginger and sage heart of KNIGHT draws from the finest aromatic fougere tradition in men’s perfumery, composed into an Eau de Parfum that balances freshness and warmth with 10+ hours of clean, confident wear. Learn more about how ÉCLATAUR is made.

Application
How To Wear KNIGHT
Step One
Prepare
Apply KNIGHT Eau de Parfum to clean, moisturized skin for maximum absorption. Target pulse points – wrists, neck, inner elbows, and the chest – where warmth amplifies the ginger, sage, and amberwood notes.
Step Two
Apply
Hold the bottle four to six inches from skin. Three to four sprays are ideal – KNIGHT projects cleanly, so adjust to setting. Do not rub. Let the apple and bergamot bloom naturally.
Step Three
Refresh
For an afternoon or evening refresh, reapply one to two sprays to wrists and neck. The compact 10ml travel size fits easily in a briefcase or jacket pocket – always within reach when confidence calls for a second wave of freshness.
