Do you remember how it feels before a big change in life? How does that moment smell? Aedes de Venustas 16A captures the scent that naturally adapts to the user, trying to capture the moment of rebirth.

Earthly materials in the hands of perfumer Frank Voelkl take on a light and airy quality. Ginger raises questions and breaks away from conventions. Iris brings back focus with its delicate coolness. Quince and lily of the valley strengthen the foundation. And cedarwood and cashmere tonka bean create a spicy balance for the more ephemeral notes of bergamot, lemon, cardamom, and jasmine.

About the brand Aedes de Venustas

Since 1995, an olfactory art gallery founded by perfume connoisseurs — Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl, an independent perfume brand since 2012. The first fragrance, Aedes de Venustas (Latin for "temple of beauty") Signature, was created in contrast to the traditional fragrance pyramid model — commonly accepted division into base, heart, and top notes was replaced with their own scheme.

The distinguishing note of all the brand's creations is incense — combined with extraordinary, rare, and often the most expensive ingredients in the world. The result is compositions that are noble, well thought out, resistant to trends, multidimensional, dignified, and rich. From the highest shelf.
