Aedes de Venustas and the scent of dreams – SUEÑO LATINO as a new chapter in niche perfumery
The beginnings: Pioneering work in the heart of New York
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 heart of New York's West Village, a fragrance temple was created that celebrated perfume as an art form. 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 and Naomi Campbell experienced exclusive fragrances that exuded individuality and elegance.
From boutique to own fragrance collection
2012 marked a milestone: the launch of the in-house collection Aedes de Venustas . The first fragrance, Signature, captivated with green and spicy notes of rhubarb and tomato leaf, spiced with incense. Highlights followed, including Iris Nazarena , an homage 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 fragrance; and Pelargonium with its green freshness. These creations are available at scent amor and invite you to experience the magic of the brand firsthand.
Karl Bradl and Robert Gerstner: The visionaries behind Aedes
Bradl and Gerstner brought their love of fragrance from Germany to New York. After their success with Aedes , Bradl founded the brand nomenclature with Carlos Quintero, which focuses 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 in niche perfumery, with a reach far beyond the USA.
SUEÑO LATINO – Aedes’ new dream
From June 1, 2025, scent amor will be offering its newest fragrance: SUEÑO LATINO. This creation comes from renowned perfumer Gabriela Chelariu, Principal Perfumer at dsm-firmenich. Born in Romania and deeply influenced by the nature of her homeland, Chelariu discovered her passion for perfumery after studying pharmacy and spending time in Grasse. She has created a masterpiece that combines tropical fruitiness, warmth, and urban sophistication.
A fragrance full of sensuality, depth, and elegance.
The top note unfolds a vibrant accord of bergamot, Brazilian red pepper, Peruvian pink pepper, and davana. The heart captivates with creamy pink mango and milky fig, while the base of suede, musk, guaiac wood, Mysore sandalwood, frankincense syrup, amber, and patchouli adds warmth and complexity. Chelariu describes SUEÑO LATINO as "lush, rich, imbued with wetness and earthiness"—an olfactory fairytale. Discover this fragrance at scent amor and experience how perfumery makes dreams come true.
The name SUEÑO LATINO is a subtle nod to the 1989 dance hit of the same name, known for its dreamy, exotic atmosphere. Karl Bradl drew inspiration from this feeling of lightness, holiday flair, and tropical sensuality to create the new fragrance from Aedes de Venustas – though without directly referencing the song. Instead, the name symbolizes the tropical elegance and dreamy world that the fragrance captures olfactorily.
