Aedes de Venustas - Corfu Kumquat – Eau de Parfum

Aedes de Venustas CORFU KUMQUAT Eau de Parfum

A citrus breeze from the Ionian coast

CORFU KUMQUAT is a fragrance that captures the sunlit elegance of the Greek island of Corfu — a land of citrus groves, myth, and Mediterranean light. In collaboration with master perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, Aedes de Venustas has crafted an olfactory portrait of the island: vibrant, refined, and refreshingly modern.

Citrus, spice, and sea: a sensory voyage

The opening is pure sunlight on skin: kumquat, Calabrian bergamot, tangerine, and mandarin burst forth in radiant clarity. Neroli adds floral softness, while a breath of ambroxan evokes the salty Ionian breeze. Hints of rhubarb, green apple, and ginger lend a crisp, juicy lift — a citrus garden at the edge of the sea.

At the heart lies the kumquat, native to China but now an emblem of Corfu’s northern coast. Its distinctive bittersweet character is blended with lavender, olibanum, and fruity-spiced nuance. It’s a dance of freshness and depth, shaped by memory and sunlight.

The drydown is soft yet grounded: Haitian vetiver, Alaska cedar, tonka bean, and captive musks create a sensual, skin-close trail. The result is elegant and long-lasting — a citrus scent with texture, warmth, and soul.

Crafted by Ilias Ermenidis

Born in Istanbul, raised in Athens, and now based in New York, Ilias Ermenidis brings a cosmopolitan spirit to his perfumery. He learned the language of scent in his father’s perfume factory, trained at ISIP in Paris, and joined Firmenich to hone his mastery.

His multicultural roots and Mediterranean heart inspire him to create fragrances that connect deeply — to places, memories, and people. With CORFU KUMQUAT, Ermenidis captures the joy of return, the whisper of home, the golden taste of Greek summer.

The art of Aedes de Venustas

Aedes de Venustas is a house dedicated to intellectual perfumery — where concept, composition, and craftsmanship merge. The flacon, in peacock blue with sculpted detail and a matte black cap, reflects the depth of the Mediterranean, the elegance of design, and the power of imagination.

CORFU KUMQUAT is a long-lasting citrus fragrance for all genders — vibrant yet serene, fresh yet refined. It is a scent for open windows, for salt on your skin, for remembering the warmth of a place even when far away.
