For his first collaboration with Aedes de Venustas in 2016, Pellegrin drew on a rich portfolio. ‘Our bourbon vanilla is the most honest of all natural ingredients,’ he says. Unlike its Tahitian counterpart, with its hint of yellow-brown leather, bourbon vanilla smells more of wood and amber. This variant forms the heart of the composition, revealing its darker side.

First, a lively spice unfolds, a subtle hint of invigorating pink and black pepper with a touch of orange oil. But almost immediately afterwards, other ingredients come to the fore: Japanese incense, surrounded by a soft leather note. These are joined by iris and rose with their balancing properties. Sensual musk, the honey-sweet bitterness of immortelle and the lush sweetness of precious woods draw you into the interior of the imaginary temple.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough incense is immediately associated with depth and smoke, Encens Japonais interprets a rarely perceived aspect that incense exudes before being lit. When you open a newly opened box of incense sticks – something you can often experience at Aedes Perfumery – a fresh, peppery scent rises, but disappears when you light the sticks. The very best quality incense sticks come from Japan. Robert Gerstner, co-founder of Aedes de Venustas, associates incense with a childhood memory.

The cedrat of Calabrian bergamot, which gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavour, is extracted from the thick peel of the fruit. It has a spiciness that is balanced by nuances of tangerine, mandarin and neroli. Salty ambrox and mystical olibanum evoke the seaside. Ginger, lavender, Granny Smith apple and rhubarb give the eau de parfum its rounded, centred fruitiness.

Plans, resolutions, everyday life and social interaction lose their rhythm. Rethinking and change are called for. And a spirit that inspires this. What could it smell like? Aedes de Venustas 16a Orchard embodies the moment of renewal. It is an eau de parfum that allows everyone who wears it to reflect on their true self and their natural roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was both a commission and a mission to mark the relocation of Aedes Perfumery to 16 Orchard Street in New York City's ‘Lower’ Lower East Side with a fitting perfume. With a fragrance that captures the crackling energy of the new, vibrant neighbourhood with its galleries, cafés, small, fine shops and its hip, diverse, skateboarding residents and visitors, and – as soon as it is applied – acts as a catalyst to dare to try something new. In 2021, Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl, the founders of Aedes de Venustas, brought this idea to life. ‘Everyone has gone through a period of total upheaval in their lives,’ says Gerstner. ’In the crisis of recent years, we have found a new home here, in a neighbourhood that reflects the change and fluctuation of New York City. Quite unconsciously, we have done something that is of great significance.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo it's not a fragrance, but a lifestyle. Something that is deeply rooted and is being brought back to life. ‘My goal was to create a simple fragrance structure that is good for the soul and conveys a sense of well-being,’ says perfumer Frank Voelkl. ‘Ingredients extracted from natural roots such as ginger and iris help to focus the mind on the essentials and ground you. Nevertheless, 16A Orchard Street cannot be understood as a single note or fragrance category; the scent carries a kind of mystery within it. ‘You don't really know what to make of it – and that's what makes it so exciting,’ says Gerstner. ‘You can't point your finger at it and say, “That's the scent of the Lower East Side”. It doesn't work like that. It encourages reflection and living – and thinking outside the box.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfumer Frank Voelkl succeeds in removing the heaviness from earthy materials, making them airy and light. Ginger raises questions and disrupts the natural balance. The cool but delicate aspects of iris ground the fragrance. Quince and lily of the valley give volume to the root notes. A dry cedarwood note and the cashmere-like hint of tonka beans combine to create a spicy, dry fragrance that is rounded off with bergamot, lemon, cardamom and jasmine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAedes de Venustas 16a Orchard is presented in a high-quality, sophisticated bottle: Peacock blue accents mark the ribbed bottle.

It is inextricably linked to the legendary 90s bar in the East Village where Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl, the founders of Aedes de Venustas, spent many a night. It was that magical place where Kate Moss once met Johnny Depp, where Madonna was completely unpretentious when the going got tough, answering the phone or playing cloakroom attendant, and where Leo di Caprio befriended one or two supermodels. It was the place where the truly glamorous could be themselves, uninhibited, among themselves and immune to every snapshot. Because it was the pre-smartphone era, which feels so long ago that we long for it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘It's the very special atmosphere that prevails in such trendy places that makes them legendary,’ says perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. ’The deep blue smoke from cigarettes, cigars, weed... or whatever.

It was an explosion of different cultures, conversations, ideas and views,‘ says Gerstner. “We drove from tropical jungle areas to the coast, and when we finally stood in a cigar factory, I said to Bertrand, ”Can you capture all these impressions in a bottle?’’\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result is as stunning, sexy and complex as the trip itself: the opening is fruity, as expected, with bergamot, which is surprisingly accompanied by notes of apple and tamarind. But overall, the perfume is a tribute to tobacco in all its facets. Dried tobacco leaves, tobacco flowers with their warm, moist aura, the lighting of a cigar – all these aspects are brought to life by herbaceous clary sage, davana and mugwort. A hint of mango, combined with nuances of dried fig and date, and the expressive smokiness of tobacco absolute, juniper and cedarwood join in. Extracts of rockrose, labdanum, amber elements, oak moss, vanilla, a cocoa accord and Peruvian balsam give the heart notes of the fragrance a rich, resinous fullness. No sugar-coated stuff here! Instead, wisps of a melange of roasted sugar, fresh clove and cardamom waft through the composition. They take away the heaviness of Café Tabac and instead give the perfume a character of multi-layered elegance. The fragrance concentration is 20 per cent, in keeping with old-school haute parfumerie.
