Aedes de Venustas 16a Orchard is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Frank Voelkl. 16a Orchard opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Cardamom, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Quince, Jasmine, Iris, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Tonka Bean, and Ambroxan. Aedes de Venustas's 16a Orchard carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A clean, crisp, and effortlessly classy scent, 16a Orchard walks a tightrope between being a versatile crowd-pleaser and an expensive, fleeting whisper. It's chic and refined, but be warned: this beauty can vanish quicker than your weekend plans.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date Sport

Given its clean, fresh-spicy profile and generally intimate projection, this fragrance is perfect for daily wear, especially in an office setting. However, its perceived poor longevity by some and subtle nature make it less impactful for formal events or lively dates where a stronger presence might be desired.

About

Imagine the invigorating zest of fresh lemon and bergamot dancing with a lively ginger and cardamom kick, like a sophisticated spritzer. This bright opening soon settles into the refined poise of iris and lily of the valley, softened by a plush, clean suede. A subtle musky embrace lingers, hinting at a laundered linen warmth that's both modern and understated.
