• From crackling sap to balmy resin. Smoky wood to sun-seared stone. Purple dusk to ink-black night. Aedes de Venustas seventh scent explores the age-old landscape of Africa in a tribute to ancient ebonyGrenadille DAfrique.
• Grenadille dAfrique expresses not only its namesake tree, but also the primal landscape in which it grows. Intriguingly described as fossilized wood rubbed in a vanilla accord, this strongly contrasted composition sets its dark heart off with luminous notes.
• It is dusk or dawn? Sparkling bergamot captures the last rays of the sun, while a purple haze of lavender and violet spill their powdery moonlight on the savannah grasslands Run through from twigs to roots with aromatic, juniper-scented sap, this olfactory portrait of the mythical African Blackwood tree is built around a trunk of Haitian vetiver. With its complex facets of wood, smoke, earth and flint, it is the vertical axis that draws together the fragrances vegetal, animal and mineral notes.
• Turned into combustible resin by a lash of ambery cistus labdanum, vanilla exudes its balsamic warmth. Bleached wood, skin-soft bark and sun-heated stone release the days heat into the ink-black night, cooled off by a breeze of musk
