Aedes de Venustas SIGNATURE Eau de Parfum

The Olfactory Signature of a Legend

With SIGNATURE, Aedes de Venustas invites you to step into the heart of its iconic New York perfumery – a world where luxury, opulence, and a hint of decadent extravagance converge. Launched in 2012, this luxury niche perfume deliberately breaks away from the traditional fragrance pyramid. Instead of a linear evolution, it offers an intricate weave of contrasting notes, layered like rich fabrics. The inspiration came from the original boutique in Manhattan – a haven of deep, jewel-toned colours, shimmering textures, and a refined sense of theatricality that defines the brand’s DNA.

A Play Between Freshness, Depth, and Sensual Decadence

The opening bursts with the green, tangy sparkle of rhubarb, crisp tomato leaf, and juicy red currant – fresh, tart, and energising. From the first spray, SIGNATURE reveals itself as something different: the brightness of the opening is not fleeting but remains a central chord throughout the composition. In the heart, honeysuckle and vetiver weave an aromatic tapestry, while a creamy touch of hazelnut adds unexpected warmth. The signature incense, for which Bertrand Duchaufour is renowned, drapes the fragrance in a mystical veil, lending depth, gravitas, and a sense of ritualistic elegance.

Its structure is more like an architectural masterpiece than a traditional pyramid – each layer reveals new facets as freshness and depth shift and merge. The scent’s identity remains unmistakable: sensual, elegant, and elusive.

Bertrand Duchaufour – Master of Modern Olfactory Architecture

Bertrand Duchaufour stands as one of the most influential perfumers of our time – an architect of scent with a unique, recognisable signature. After early work with Lautier Florasynth and Créations Aromatiques (Symrise), he served for ten years as in-house perfumer for L’Artisan Parfumeur, creating classics such as Timbuktu, Dzongkha, and Nuit de Tubéreuse. Since becoming independent in 2008, he has created a wealth of acclaimed works for prestigious niche houses, including Comme des Garçons, Penhaligon’s, MDCI, Naomi Goodsir, Neela Vermeire, and The Vagabond Prince.

His particular passion for incense – reinterpreted in endlessly inventive ways – underpins much of his work, bringing depth, spirituality, and artistic precision to his compositions. With SIGNATURE, he distilled the very essence of Aedes de Venustas into perfume form – unapologetically modern, luxuriously timeless, and with a sillage that lingers like a memory.

Character & Presence

SIGNATURE is a fragrance for connoisseurs – for those who seek the unconventional, who wish to break from traditional forms and immerse themselves in a complex, sensual olfactory universe. It is opulent without overwhelming, elegant without distance, mysterious without fully revealing itself. Perfect for evenings when your presence should resonate long after you’ve left the room, and for moments when a fragrance is more than an accessory – it’s a statement, an aura, an expression of perfume artistry.
