Aedes de Venustas Pelargonium Eau de Parfum 100ml is a unisex aromatic fragrance. A baroque and contemporary reimagining of geranium highlights the raw grace of this prized ingredient. A scented still life of extraordinary elegance, Pelargonium Eau de Parfum 100ml portrays its namesake ingredient as one of the mysterious floral compositions of Dutch Golden Age paintings. Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer extracts geranium from the depths of the perfume pyramid to reveal its complex facets, using freshly crushed leaves that shed light on crepuscular woods and resins. This masterpiece is not your average red garden geranium. Pelargonium graveolens, meaning ‘sweetly scented’, produces one of the most versatile essences in perfumery. Distilled from the plant's leaves rather than 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 laying out a canvas of fresh orris notes over a neat frame of cedarwood. He then paints a dark, smoky backdrop of Haitian vetiver, guaiac wood, and musk. The golden light of Calabrian bergamot, shot through with glimmers of green cardamom, illuminates the scene, captured by richly textured ingredients that lend volume and contrast to the composition. The herbaceous sweetness of carrot enriches the orris accord; ambery clary sage suggests the softness of velvety leaves. Peppery, incense-like elemi resin is enhanced while a mist of musks smooths its edges. When worn, the majestic bouquet of Pelargonium takes on an abstract and understated beauty, an evolving work of art that transmits its beauty freely on the skin.
