L'Artisan Parfumeur will add another edition, named Aedes de Venustas , to their collection of fragrances this autumn. Besides the already announced Fleur de Liane , another fragrance will appear on the market. It was developed and created for perfumery Scent Bar in New York.

All three perfumes are unisex and they are a work of perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour , who has worked for the house of L'Artisan Parfumeur for six months and who, as the CEO of L'Artisan Parfumeur, says that Duchaufour brought more freedom in creating haute couture perfumery with his work. Fleur de Liane was inspired by Duchaufour 's journey to Bahia Honda, an island in Panama during the rainy season. The idea was to capture the scent of woods, with an abstract concept of an imaginary flower.

The perfume Fleur de Liane is composed of a mixture of ozone, sea accords and green accords, accompanied with marigold, tuberose and magnolia, with base notes of moss and wood. The perfume is available as 50 and 100 ml, with 50 ml body cream.

The perfume which L'Artisan dedicated to Scent Bar was preliminary named Chaparral, after southern Californian region of low trees and bush, Chaparral, which enjoys the same climate as the Mediterranean (mild, moist winters and hot, dry summers), the aromas of which were set as the dominant ones in this perfume. Bernard Duchaufour visited Griffin Park in the eastern part of the Santa Monica Mountains, as a part of his visit to Los Angeles last month, where he explored new scents of air and ground, even in the burnt part of the park.

Scent Bar is a niche boutique opened in West Hollywood, with a goal to try the best and very rare fragrances in one place. A famous niche boutique is online store Lucky Scent. The motto of the boutique is: Sit...Sample...Enjoy!

The third edition, announced for autumn, is the perfume Aedes de Venustas , which has a similar composition as fragrance for rooms and scented candles with the same name. They were presented in 2005 and were dedicated to famous niche boutique Aedes de Ventustas Boutique, founded in 1995 by Karl Bradl and Robert Gerstner in Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. The boutique offers products by prestigious niche houses of Serge Lutens, Diptyque , Creed, Etro and many others.

The perfume Aedes de Venustas was created of aromas of orange, pink pepper, cardamom and incense in the top notes. The heart includes black pepper, rose, iris and cedar, while the base notes introduce patchouli, coffee, oppoponax, benzoin and moss, with vanilla and white musk for a soft touch.

Fragrant structure is similar to the mentioned fragrance for rooms and scented candles, but strengthened with new, spicy rhythms (chypre, balmy and leather notes). The perfume is available as 100 ml EDP, but is sold exclusively in the boutique.
