Aedes De Venustas - Amnesia Rose

The edges of its petals are just beginning to curl, opening into that fullness that mimics the shape of a bulb like a tea cup filled with opulent spices and shavings of precious woods.

The composition is inspired by the lifestyle of AEDES PERFUMERY, the place in New York's Lower East Side where flamboyant decorations spill out of large vases alongside vintage textiles and stuffed, feathered figures. There is always incense in the air and likely a scent card under our noses.

The name comes from a variety of rose grown in France: its delicate scent and appearance evoke a bygone era, now translated into Amnesia Rose.

Perfumer Luca Maffei worked for 8 years to transmute the essence of the perfumery into a bottle, gradually balancing those mysterious, peppery tones, confident of creating something that would work on everyone's skin.

“This is an intense rose, whose personality never fades and, above all, never goes unnoticed,” states Maffei.

To create a bloom supported by woody spices, he combined Moroccan rose absolute and Bulgarian rose essence with Cypriol oil, saffron, and the Bushman’s Candle (Monsonia Patersonii) plant. T

he vibrant initial sparkle at the opening, due to pink pepper, is soon replaced by a satiny density that runs through it to transform into a dry, earthy base softened by labdanum, patchouli, and oud.
