Aedes de Venustas and the Scent of Dreams – SUEÑO LATINO as a New Chapter in Niche Perfumery

Since its founding in 1995 by Karl Bradl and Robert Gerstner, Aedes de Venustas has been a shining example of the art of niche perfumery. In the middle of New York's West Village, a fragrance temple emerged that celebrated perfume as art. The boutique combined opulent European salon aesthetics with carefully selected niche fragrances – a concept that quickly made Aedes legendary. Here, celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker or Naomi Campbell experienced exclusive scents that breathed individuality and elegance.

2012 marked a milestone: the founding of the in-house collection Aedes de Venustas. The first fragrance, Signature, impressed with green-spicy notes of rhubarb and tomato leaf, spiced with incense. Highlights followed such as Iris Nazarena, a tribute to iris with leather and incense; Copal Azur, inspired by tropical resins and salty freshness; Palissandre d'Or with sandalwood and spices; Cierge de Lune, a floral vanilla scent; and Pelargonium with green freshness. These creations are available at scent amor and invite you to experience the magic of the brand up close.

Signature – Fragrance Art with Character
Iris Nazarena – Mysterious and Elegant
Copal Azur – Tropical Rainforest in a Bottle
Palissandre d'Or – Woody and Refined
Cierge de Lune – Night Bloom with Vanilla
Pelargonium – Fresh, Green, and Spicy

Bradl and Gerstner brought their love for fragrances from Germany to New York. After their success with Aedes, Bradl co-founded the brand Nomenclature with Carlos Quintero, focusing on synthetic fragrance molecules. Gerstner remained loyal to Aedes and continued to lead the brand – with unwavering passion and creative energy. Together, they have made Aedes de Venustas an institution of niche perfumery that radiates far beyond the USA.

Starting June 1, 2025, the latest fragrance awaits you at scent amor: SUEÑO LATINO. This creation comes from renowned perfumer Gabriela Chelariu, Principal Perfumer at dsm-firmenich. Born in Romania and shaped by the nature of her homeland, Chelariu discovered her passion for perfumery after studying pharmacy and a stay in Grasse. With SUEÑO LATINO, she has created a masterpiece that combines tropical fruitiness, warmth, and urban sophistication.

The top note unfolds a vibrant accord of bergamot, Brazilian red pepper, Peruvian pink pepper, and davana. The heart captivates with creamy rosa mango and milky fig, while the base of suede, musk, guaiac wood, Mysore sandalwood, olibanum syrup, amber, and patchouli provides warmth and complexity. Chelariu describes SUEÑO LATINO as “lush, rich, imbued with wetness and earthiness” – an olfactory fairy tale land. Discover this fragrance at scent amor and experience how perfumery makes dreams come true.

The name “SUEÑO LATINO” is a subtle reference to the dance hit of the same name from 1989, known for its dreamy, exotic atmosphere. Karl Bradl was inspired by this feeling of lightness, holiday flair, and tropical sensuality to create the new fragrance from Aedes de Venustas – without directly referencing the song. Instead, the name symbolically represents the tropical elegance and dreamy world that the fragrance captures olfactorily.

The collection from Aedes de Venustas is a celebration of niche fragrance art. Signature, Iris Nazarena, Copal Azur, and the new SUEÑO LATINO show how creativity, quality, and individuality can shape a brand. Discover these fragrances and more starting June 1, 2025, at scent amor – let yourself be seduced and immerse yourself in the world of exclusive perfumes that are more than just scent, but expressions of personality and art.
