Aedes de Venustas Pélargonium is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Pélargonium opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pepper, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Iris, Geranium, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Aedes de Venustas's Pélargonium carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly unique aromatic green dream that suffers from an all-too-common flaw: for many, it simply vanishes too quickly. While it delivers a nuanced, high-quality experience, be prepared for it to be a fleeting pleasure.

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
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, subtle, and generally inoffensive aromatic profile makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings. However, its often-reported weak longevity and sillage mean it lacks the impact needed for formal events or a commanding presence on a date.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Pélargonium ignites with a vibrant, peppery citrus blast of bergamot, mandarin, and fiery Sichuan pepper, beautifully intertwined with aromatic clary sage and a hint of cardamom. The heart unfolds into a fresh, green geranium leafiness, made earthy and subtly sweet by carrot seeds and a touch of powdery iris. The journey concludes on a sophisticated woody base of guaiac wood, vetiver, and cedar, softened by a whisper of musk.
