Pélargonium

Pélargonium by Aedes de Venustas is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Pélargonium was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Feisthauer. Top notes are Bergamot, Clary Sage, Cardamom, Black Pepper, Mandarin Orange and Sichuan Pepper; middle notes are African Geranium, Elemi resin, Carrot Seeds and Orris Root; base notes are Vetiver, Moss, Musk, Guaiac Wood and Cedar. "A strikingly elegant still life in scent, Pelargonium portrays its namesake ingredient like one of the mysterious floral compositions of Dutch Golden Age paintings. Described by Nathalie Feisthauer as “aromatic, with a crushed-leaf facet, less fruity and more balsamic than rose, almost incense-like”, geranium Egypt acts as the central motif of this intriguing composition. The perfumer starts by stretching a canvas of cool orris notes on a neat cedar-wood frame. Then she paints a dark, smoky background of vetiver Haiti, guaiac wood and moss. Shot through with glints of green cardamom, the golden light of Calabrian bergamot suffuses the scene, caught by richly textured ingredients that bring volume and contrast to the composition. The herbal sweetness of carrot enriches the orris accord; ambery clary sage suggests the softness of velvety leaves. Lemony, peppery, incense-like elemi resin enhances both the fresh and balsamic facets of geranium. As a haze of musks smooths out its edges, Pelargonium’s stately bouquet takes on a spare, abstract beauty." - a note from the brand.Pelargonium by Aedes de Venustas is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men.
