The most precious and oldest aromatic subjects come together for a perfume that projects perfumery in the future by going to its roots.
Iris occupies a precious position in the world of perfumery: its prices rise beyond gold and its singular aroma cannot be experienced for six years after sowing. In Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena is reborn the rare floral root. It is intertwined in conversation with the incense, giving life to a mysterious and sensual agreement of Iris-incense that guides this deeply captivating perfume.
The perfumer Ralf Schwieger had long wanted to offer a contemporary interpretation of the Iris without referring to his best -known olfactory expressions, in particular Chanel n ° 19, which defines "the reference point of Iris perfumes and an unsurpassed model sin from its launch in 1971 ". "." He also wanted to incorporate transparency into notes that can be seen as a gloomy, and conclude with something that expressed a beauty that is at the same time mystical and lasting.
Iris Nazarena takes its name from the rare Iris Bismarckian species, also known as Iris Nazarena because it grows mainly in the east mountains of Nazareth. The extraordinary beauty of the flower, with its brown or purple spots and the delicate blue-violet veins, settled Karl Bradl as soon as he discovered it on a postcard. It became the inspiring muse of the second perfume Aedes de Venustas when it was launched in 2013.
The flower itself does not give off perfume. Most of the irises are not. Instead it is the root, or the rhizome, who became revered in perfumery. To transform it into aromatic material, the flower must grow for three years before being uprooted. Subsequently he is left to dry for another three years before developing his characteristic known, a mix of dust, wood and purple. It is then ground and distilled. Only after this time and a laborious process does the majestic Iris resurrect, a journey that reflects the history of the earth where the Iris Nazarena grows.
The soft suede petals of the mystical Musa dell'Iride are designed in a thin shade of brown, purple and bianco. The Airpretta spreads the tender light of dawn on the head notes, the rose adds a touch of floral sensuality and fresh and vivid green of the starry anise evokes the stylized stems and leaves of the flower. Resinous berries of juniper, patchouli and vetives allude to its roots, stuck in the dark earth and in the rock, while the sacred smoke that climbs from the altars intertwines its mineral viticks, perfumed of leather throughout the development with cloves, Oud and incense . Incense is an olfactory wire that crosses a large part of the Aedes de Venustas collection. This millenary holocaust to the gods is at the very origin of perfumery, since the same word "perfume" derives from the Latin to smoke, which means "through smoking".
