En Voyage chez l'Artisan Parfumeur: 13 Aedes de Venustas - genuine incense
If it wasn't already February, Aedes de Venustas would have made me buy a pure incense scent for the winter. Because abruptly I realized during testing, how much there is still to discover.
The fragrance starts warm, fruity sweet. An orange infusion in the sauna is the first impression I have.
The steamy orange is quickly replaced by incense as everyone actually knows him. Very authentic and beautiful, in all its resinous aspects. A brew of pepper washes this down without stealing the show, but provides a tingly spicy underpinning. For now, these two are the only scent building blocks that play a role. Musk is perceptible, though not very, but not much more. But that's not a bad thing, on the contrary, the incense makes me want to pull my legs out. Quite mildly he projects and yet he smells so familiar so beautiful.
It's not uncommon for me to encounter incense in perfumes now, but it's either dimmed down with vanilla or tonka or the like, or drowned out with other smoky heavy components. Here, however, all the elements turn to the incense in homage, elevating its individual characteristics and providing focal points. Except for the pepper (and the orange- but this disappears entirely 2 minutes after the start), I would not see any ingredient from the fragrance pyramid as independent, they merely have a reinforcing effect.
So the incense takes center stage without being overdosed, it shows up so softly it's reminiscent of a tea scent. So buttery it lies in the air, as if someone had walked through the room with an incense wielder. Clearly sacral it smells thus, but times honestly, it goes nevertheless nearly nobody more into the church, so one can claim this smell also for itself, simply because it is beautiful.
I would see the fragrance rather on men, although it is certainly a very mild fragrance. Therefore, in addition to the winter also certainly wearable in the spring, also because somehow something very fresh resonates.
Thank you for reading my comment.
