Aedes de Venustas - 16A Orchard – Eau de Parfum

Aedes de Venustas 16A ORCHARD Eau de Parfum

The Fragrance of a New Beginning

16A ORCHARD by Aedes de Venustas is more than just a perfume – it is a declaration of change, a celebration of authenticity, and a tribute to new horizons. Created to mark the relocation of the legendary Aedes Perfumery to Orchard Street 16 in New York City’s vibrant Lower East Side, the fragrance captures the energy of transition and the courage of transformation. It embodies the spirit of a neighborhood filled with art galleries, bustling cafés, and cultural diversity – a melting pot of creativity translated into scent.

Ginger and Iris – a Dance of Opposites

At its heart, the fragrance is built on the striking dialogue between ginger and iris. The spicy, sparkling vibrancy of ginger injects movement and vitality, while iris adds powdery depth, poise, and quiet strength. Perfumer Frank Voelkl has crafted a structure that feels both grounded and airy, a paradox that makes 16A ORCHARD so intriguing. Quince, bergamot, lemon, and cardamom illuminate the opening, while lily of the valley and jasmine weave a delicate floral tapestry around the iris. The base of cedarwood and tonka bean anchors the fragrance with warmth, sensuality, and a lasting impression of serenity.

Frank Voelkl – The Art of Imperfection

The creative mind behind this fragrance, Frank Voelkl, is a true cosmopolitan. Born in Germany, raised in Holland and France, and inspired by the scents of nature and the streets of Paris, he has become one of the most distinctive voices in perfumery. His philosophy of “perfect imperfection” embraces the irregularities that evoke emotion and create beauty beyond symmetry. With 16A ORCHARD, he translates this philosophy into a fragrance that reflects both individuality and renewal – a perfume that encourages you to embrace who you are, unapologetically.

16A ORCHARD Eau de Parfum by Aedes de Venustas is a scent of vitality, reflection, and authenticity – a fragrance that captures the poetic energy of New York and the intimate beauty of self-discovery. Discover its urban spirit and soulful depth now at scent amor.
