Cierge de Lune – Eau de Parfum

Aedes de Venustas CIERGE DE LUNE Eau de Parfum

Cierge de Lune, a gem from the Aedes collection, pays homage to the majestic Queen of the Night cactus and the rich aroma of deep vanilla. Its essence mirrors the freshness of desert air under the glow of moonlight, while exuding a sensuality akin to the velvet embrace of a midnight sky. Inspired by the Queen of the Night flower, also known as Selenicereus Grandiflorus, this fragrance captures the slow unfurling of its magnificent blossoms after sunset, a phenomenon that enchants the senses.

The evocative name "Cierge de Lune," meaning "moon altar candle," adds to the enchantment surrounding this fragrance. Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin's collaboration with Karl Bradl, co-founder of Aedes in New York, has resulted in a captivating scent that weaves together a diverse array of notes, from crisp clarity to hints of spicy vanilla and delicate incense. Madagascar vanilla imparts a dark, amber-like richness, complemented by Tahitian vanilla's subtle leather undertones. Elements such as hedione, ylang-ylang, and a blend of pink and black pepper contribute to the fragrance's magical allure.

Embark on an olfactory journey into the desert with Cierge de Lune, where the rare and regal Queen of the Night flower envelops the skin in its exquisite scent. The bottle's design reflects the fragrance's luxurious nature, featuring fluted glass and dark blue accents that exude elegance. Adorned with the embossed insignia of the Aedes line, the cap completes the refined aesthetic.

The fragrance notes of Aedes de Venustas Cierge de Lune include a crystalline accord, Madagascar vanilla, ylang-ylang, pink and black pepper, ambroxan, leather, incense, and musk.
