I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Leila, who founded this brand, at Esxence. Her intention for the brand is to launch fragrances that are timeless and don't follow trends.
All in all, I think she has succeeded very well.
Andreas as the nose behind it was also certainly a very good choice. The versatility that this man radiates is fascinating.
In terms of quality, the fragrances are very good and, with a fragrance oil content of 15%, very long-lasting.

Besides Silver, I liked this fragrance best, perhaps because of the milk accord, which is always incredibly effective on my skin.
This fragrance is warm, creamy and slightly spicy at the same time. It conveys a feeling of warmth.
As if I were lying down in a huge orchid flower filled with milk and bathing in it. On a tropical beach under palm trees, of course.
Driftwood lies on the beach and the coconut shells dry in the sun.
Remains of sun cream on my skin are washed off and it feels velvety soft and nourished.

"Café Tabac is reminiscent of a 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 unpretentiously answered the phone or acted as a wardrobe mistress when she needed to, and where Leo di Caprio made friends with the odd supermodel."

When I read this text about the new "Café Tabac | Aedes de Venustas", I could already imagine the atmosphere a little.
But what I smelled when it arrived yesterday exceeded my expectations:

I'm sitting in a wood-paneled bar with round tables and round leather sofas.
There is a large open fireplace crackling at the end of the long bar.

I decide to sit on one of the bar stools at the bar, because today I'm in a flirtatious mood.

I browse through the menu and discover many classics, deciding on an Old Fashioned. This one is made with an infused rum that has a cocoa and dried fruit flavor.
The bartender places the drink on the solid wood bar, which has recently been freshly polished. The aroma of the drink hits my nose and the ice cubes glisten in the dim light.

I'm wearing a floral, woody fragrance and my leather skirt with a red spaghetti crop top, plus Buffalos.
After the first sip of the drink, I start to notice the smells in the bar more strongly.
It smells a little like cigars and wood, mixed with the smoky scent of the fireplace.
The women's fragrances range from opulent floral to sugary sweet and mingle with the woody-fresh scents of the men.
I feel warm, lean back and enjoy the relaxed RnB beats.

This fragrance enchanted me and put me in a cozy mood. A truly successful work by Bertrand Duchaufour.

I see it on rainy days in the fall or in the winter time.

Smoky, sweet-spicy and cozy masterpiece.
However, as always with Aedes de Venustas, the longevity could be a little better.

I actually do not have it so with the Tauer DNA. I found his fragrances all artistically well done but never suitable for me personally. One always had such a muddy-earthy basic DNA.

This one I have seen and felt from the fragrance notes while reading already somehow attracted to it.
Also from the beautiful white bottle.

So how is this fragrance now.
When spraying a beautiful lemon blossom already welcomes directly in combination with the powdery iris root. The sillage is very neat for my sensation. If you go closer with the nose, you can perceive the slightly earthy Tauer DNA very well (I suspect it comes here through the vetiver). However, it does not remain strongly present here.
It is definitely also a clean clear scent however with a very addictive nuance. I have to smell it again and again, I can not stop with it. A pleasant feeling spreads in my amygdala.
Over time, it becomes woodier and also amber. Oak moss in the base I can also smell out very well.
Rose hovers just slightly in the background. Tonka gives a slight sweetness.

All in all, a very successful and for me also very round thing. The bottle fits so wonderfully to the fragrance, because it triggers lightness in me.

This is my second blind comment and I thank Kima very much for this opportunity. I had 4 scents to choose from to which I had no information other than a number on the TZ.
This fragrance piqued my interest because I think it fits wonderfully into summer.

Like ice in the sunshine...he's melting me away...

It starts with very clearly recognizable citrus notes, I'm guessing tangerine, tangerine or orange. Maybe a splash of bergamot or lime in there. (Maybe also passion fruit since the association to the Cuja Mara ice cream came to me)
Then a vanilla note comes along in the background, which comes across wonderfully creamy, milkshake-like. And combines the fruity notes with a sweet vanilla cream.
Right after that, the scent changes further, it becomes a little sour fresh, so green-grassy citrusy, like lemongrass. That's when it reminds me of a sauna infusion. So relaxing and intense at the same time, you want to lie in.
At the same time, a new sweet note mixes in, caramel-sweet and candy-like. Now it could also be a citrus candy. However, the top note and the fruitiness at the beginning is still very present, very unusual for a lemony-fruity fragrance. Pleases me, however, extremely well.
In the base it remains fruity however it gets warmer and warmer, no woody warmth, maybe a tonka bean warmth... I can't put my finger on it. But I love it. Refreshing, sweet and warm at the same time.
No matter what scent this will be, you guys really need to try it. I can see it on a warm summer evening, when the sun is already low in the sky and you have a delicious cool drink to go with it.
Yummy (っˆڡˆς)

I always find that fragrances with a milk accord appeal to me incredibly. The first one was "Trade Routes Collection - Paithani | Penhaligon's", which I saw in a Penhaligon's news paper that my friend had sent me from London. I read the notes and was curious to see how such a milk accord would develop. She told me the scent wasn't that special. At some point, though, I was back on site, testing my way through the local store... at home, I smelled a scent extremely out that I had sprayed on myself, but had no idea which one it might have been. We eventually determined that it had to be the Paithani, which she said didn't smell good on anyone. But on me, it developed fantastically. I had a similar experience with "Casamorati - Italica | XerJoff", which was flooded with negative reviews in the beginning. On me he develops class.

So it happened that I found this Duftpröbchen in a fragrance letter that I received. I read the notes and became curious.
Already with the first spraying on the paper I noticed that he is special.
First you get a wonderful soft fruitiness from pear and peach, both not necessarily my favorite fruits in fragrances, but here they are wonderful together.
When the musk mixes with ambroxan and vanilla, it literally results in a scent explosion in the fine soft way. It feels like floating on clouds. I believe that this fragrance can also have a wonderful calming effect on days where you can't find peace because of nervousness. Or even to fall asleep. As if one is stroked with cotton balls. Through the milk accord, the fragrance then gets a nice sweet but also gourmand touch. You also notice the fruity notes for a very long time together with the heart note, which is why you get a milkshake vibe. I really like it wonderfully.
The base of cedarwood (one of my favorite woody notes, besides my idolized Atlas cedar of course) and tonka bean make it no less appealing to me. The woody accord keeps it from being too sweet and the tonka bean highlights the gourmand part of the scent beautifully. I also didn't think the performance of this fragrance would be so solid. It is not a room filler but I perceive it sufficiently.
For me, the color of the fragrance is white and it feels fluffy. It surrounds me with a slightly hazy aura. Like a soft focus for everyday life. Quasi the side effect free antidepressant.
Try more scents with milk accords!
