Aedes de Venustas store window at 9 Christopher Street in 2013

• ... that the signature fragrance of Aedes de Venustas perfumery (store window, pictured) is based on rhubarb and tomato leaf? Source: "....aroma that surpasses any single ingredient's scent ... tomato leaf ...green, rhubarb core" Vanity Fair
  • ALT1:... that perfumery Aedes de Venustas (store window, pictured) has two fragrances named after the store and both were created by Bertrand Duchaufour? Source, 2012: "To create the first stand-alone fragrance for New York’s beloved olfactory boutique__Aedes de Venustas__, proprietor Robert Gerstner said, he and partner Karl Bradl, along with perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour..." (Vanity Fair) and 2008: “A scent that L'Artisan developed in conjunction with Aedes de Venustas the perfume boutique located in New York will be unveiled at the shop...bringing in Duchaufour has given L'Artisan more freedom to do custom collaborations.” (["L'Artisan Looks to the Power of Three" Women’s Wear Daily, paywalled])

• Comment: If not too late, perhaps for March 21, International Fragrance Day? Meanwhile I’m not wedded to including the picture although the peacock is often featured in photos of the shop’s decor, cf, https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2012/06/Call-it-Aedes-de-Venustass-Very-Own
