Alberto Morillas creates new fragrance for Aedes de Venustas
Palissandre d’Or is the fifth fragrance to emerge from the House of Aedes de Venustas. Born in the Greenwich Village fragrance boutique, the Aedes de Venustas brand is synonymous with sophistication, style and the very finest ingredients. Ready to venture into a completely different olfactory realm, whilst retaining the signature frankincense thread that runs through each of the fragrances, Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl, founders of the Aedes de Venustas boutique and fragrance house, turned to master perfumer Alberto Morillas to breathe life into their new vision. Originally inspired by the Indian rosewood tree, the scent contains notes of natural musk with rose, pear and iris facets, as well as pink pepper, coriander and nutmeg, with cinnamon, copahu balm and a silken patchouli extract. A bold trio of cedar essences add structure and texture to the blend while clean, bracing Virginian cedar give vigor and tempo. Palissandre d’Or EDP is available now priced at £185 (100ml).
