A temple of olfactory beauty
Aedes de Venustas
The art of sumptuous contrast.
An iris in shadow. A trace of incense. A colour that feels almost tactile. Aedes de Venustas inhabits a richly imaginative space where perfumery takes on the drama and intimacy of an exquisite interior.

The house’s story
A New York institution, reimagined
Karl Bradl and Robert Gerstner founded the Aedes de Venustas boutique on Christopher Street in 1995. The name translates as “temple of beauty.” In 2012, the house introduced its signature fragrance, composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, opening a new chapter beyond the boutique.
Its perfume collection carries that curatorial sensibility into composition, making room for unusual juxtapositions and expressive materials. Look beyond a simple family label and follow the interplay of freshness, shadow and texture within each fragrance.
