Aedes de venustas Pelargonium Eau de Parfum - 100 ml

Aedes de Venustas Pelargonium Eau de Parfum is a unisex aromatic perfume. A baroque and contemporary take on geranium highlights the raw grace of this prized ingredient. Pelargoniun Eau de Parfum, a perfumed still life of extraordinary elegance, portrays its namesake ingredient as one of the mysterious floral arrangements of Dutch Golden Age paintings. Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer extracts geranium from the depths of the perfume pyramid to reveal its complex facets, using freshly chopped leaves that shed light on twilight woods and resins. This masterpiece is not the classic red garden geranium. Pelargonium graveolens, whose name means "sweetly scented", produces one of the most versatile essences in perfumery. Distilled from the leaves of the plant rather than the flowers, this geranium has long been used as a fresh, rosy note, hence the common name "pink geranium." Here, according to Feisthauer, the geranium is less fruity and more balsamic, almost incense-like, and serves as the central motif of this intriguing composition. The perfumer begins by spreading a canvas of fresh orris notes over a neat cedar wood frame. He then paints a dark, smoky background of Haitian vetiver, guaiac wood and musk. The golden light of Calabrian bergamot, crossed by flashes of green cardamom, illuminates the scene, captured by ingredients with a rich consistency that give volume and contrast to the composition. The herbaceous sweetness of the carrot enriches the orris accord; Amber clary sage suggests the softness of velvety leaves. The elemi resin, peppery and similar to incense, is enhanced while a mist of musk smoothes its edges. When worn, the majestic bouquet of Pelargoniun takes on an abstract and understated beauty, an evolving work of art that transmits its beauty freely onto the skin. | More Information Olfactory Notes: Egyptian Geranium, Orris, Cedar Wood, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, Musk, Green Cardamom, Carrot Seeds, Clary Sage, Elemi Resin, Musk | Perfumer: Nathalie Feisthauer
