Cierge De Lune

Cierge de Lune by Aedes de Venustas is a softly rounded, powdery vanilla fragrance with a delicate sophistication. It opens with a smooth, musky powdery accord that feels intimate and warm, quickly embracing a creamy, slightly spicy vanilla heart enhanced by ylang-ylang and a hint of cool incense. The scent unfolds with a light, suede-like dry down, tempered by subtle pepper and amber that add texture without overcomplication. Its luxurious, velvety texture evokes a soft, well-tailored coat—warm but not heavy, clean but not clinical. The progression is linear and discreet, with steady, moderate sillage and a reliably moderate longevity that performs best when worn close to the skin. It’s ideal for cold weather, particularly autumn and winter, and suits evening wear where its quiet intimacy shines. The fragrance is often described as elegant, cozy, and wearable—with a comfortable, non-gourmand sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm. It stands out among the Aedes line not for its intensity, but for its understated grace and refined complexity, making it especially appealing to those who appreciate subtle, vanilla-centered perfumes with texture and balance rather than loud declarations.
