Aedes de Venustas Corfu Kumquat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Corfu Kumquat opens with Kumquat, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Neroli, Cedar, Lavender, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Rhubarb, Musk, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. Aedes de Venustas's Corfu Kumquat carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A gorgeous citrus explosion that unfortunately fizzles out too quickly. It's a truly pleasant scent, but the performance just doesn't justify the price tag for many.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Corfu Kumquat opens with a vibrant burst of zesty kumquat, mandarin, and bergamot, evoking sun-drenched Mediterranean orchards. As it settles, a clean, aromatic heart of lavender, neroli, and subtle ginger emerges, softened by a hint of green apple. The base eventually lands on a quiet blend of musky vetiver and a touch of sweet tonka, all underpinned by a clean, salty freshness.
