Aedes De Venustas Corfu Kumquat EDP 100 ml Unisex Perfume

A sun-drenched Greek citrus distinguished by complexity and longevity. A piercing freshness. Citrus peel exposed to salty sea air and rugged terrain. A moment of relief and unexpected depth. CORFU KUMQUAT takes its name and source material from the magnificent Greek island of Corfu. Kumquats proliferate on the island of Corfu. The small and bitter, oval-shaped, orange-colored fruit first came to Greece from China in the 1800s. Today, these products, which are largely grown on the Northern coast, are turned into liquor and sugar and sold on the island where Prince Philip grew up. “You are in Corfu and you are amazed by the beauty, architecture and history of the island,” says Robert Gerstner, co-founder of AEDES DE VENUSTAS. "Empress Elizabeth did not spend months there in vain." When the time came for Gerstner and Karl Bradl, founders of AEDES DE VENUSTAS, to dream up a citrus scent suitable for their baroque style, they hired Greek perfumer Ilias Armeniandis, who immediately thought of his homeland with its rich noble charm and natural beauty. For him, it is short: a mysterious citrus fruit that carries the spirit of AEDES PERFUMERY. Nothing sweet or simple. Knowing that citrus scents tend to fade the quickest, he paired kumquat with Calabrian bergamot, an invigorating squeeze that signals the dawn of something new. Cedrat Calabrian bergamot, the star of Earl Gray tea, comes from the fruit's thick skin. Tangerine brings a spiciness that is balanced by notes from tangerine and orange blossom essence. Salty ambrox and mystical olibanum transport us to a seaside view. Ginger, lavender, Granny Smith apple and rhubarb add a rounded fruitiness to the center. And Alaskan cedar, vetiver, captive musks and tonka, from a tree species in the cypress family, weave the dark background that unwittingly holds the citrus cocktail together. "A unique and joyful feeling where kumquat from the island of Corfu combines with Calabrian bergamot, and salty ambrox and mystical olibanum are there to remind us which part of the world we are traveling to, creating a harmony very close to my heart," says perfumer Ilias Armeniandis. defines. with our senses."
