    "Smelling perfumes is a way of taking a magical journey" Aedes is a beautiful and elegant perfumery that offers exquisite, exceptional and luxury fragrances and candles. Perfume is art or maybe a memory captured in time connecting you to places, experiences, the beauty of nature or a sensory journey that provoke or awake emotions. A journey to woody scent lands to bergamot, saffron, musk, sultry cardamom, lemongrass, cashmere to black tea leaves or delicate flowers like Turkish rose, green jasmine, lilies, roses and the most magical of all and yet soft silky white night-opening flower. I had the pleasure to meet Karl Bradl, one of the owners and he was wonderful. His knowledge is impeccable, he was welcoming and charming. He was able to describe the essence of the entire collection of perfumes and their distinctive fragrances, he also recommended some perfumes. The overall experience and customer service was top notch. I'm very pleased and excited about my unique perfumes. I will definitely recommend everyone visiting to NYC to visit this perfumery. You will find a fragrance that will change your life and soul forever.

    We stumbled upon this shop after brunch while we were killing time to visit a museum. I'm obsessed with perfumes, but the experience here far surpassed anything I had gotten in a department store or based on online reviews. I have a brief description of what I was looking for and what I like and was presented with half a dozen options. I came away with orto parisi megamare. That very night I revived multiple compliments and gave received a lot since from total strangers. As someone who owns dozens of bottles, finding one that is unique and you get compliments every time you wear is a real treat. They helped me find this scent and I can't wait to return and find another with their assistance. Visit. You won't be disappointed.

    THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING Wow wow wow, Amouage, Dyptique, Frederic Malle, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Commes des Garcon, Odin, Killian (the few I've heard before) and like 30 others I never knew existed!! THEY HAVE ESCENTRIC MOLECULES, YOU CANT EVEN FIND THAT.. ANYWHERE Immediately you are seduced by 50 shades of violet intimacy; chinese violet walls, byzantium counters, aubergine velvet backdrops and dark lavender carpets pull you in while ornate gold accents and a dazzling chandelier impart an air of opulence.. "Excuse me I'm gonna leave my wet umbrella here in the corner.. " Guy looks at me.. "Um, sure that's fine.." LOL People inside were quite detached but helpful when I approached; any questions I had were greeted with openness and a high level of knowledge for their products; an employee also filled me a sample before I left THEY HAVE CANDLES WHAT WHAT More than smelling colognes I've always wanted to (LODL by Dyptique & Chergui by Serge Lutens), I loved EXPLORING the store; each nook and cranny of this place are filled with renowned stalwarts in the fragrance world as well as more exotic, lesser-known ones (aka 'niche' in the fragrance realm). You can spray the test cards as much as you want and try anything your heart desires Their house brand AEDES perfumes are some of the most peculiar and evocative fragrances I've ever smelled- and rightfully pricier as a result. You HAVE to come to this quaint Greenwich St perfumery at least once - don't miss an amazing experience! Plus you'll smell better when you come out :)

    Great selection. John was really helpful in helping me find a few new spring fragrances. Will be coming back here in the near future.

Let me just say first and foremost, they absolutely brought in the energy, and not only that but everybody who came into the store was carefully attended to as well. I had SUCHH a great time, I felt like I was creating something with my friends. Otso and a girl who I am SO SAD I don't remember her name! (I hope the shop owner can please credit her in a reply!) I do in fact remember she is from Texas, and she was an absolute ANGEL! Specifically, she helped me with my Mothers perfume and being that we have opposing tastes, she was absolutely on par with helping me choose the correct layering fragrance oil. Extraordinarily knowledgeable, able to curate something that I truly would've never thought of myself. Thank you for the conversation, patience, suggestions, and just being a true human soul. I hope she gets to see this, let me tell you, it was a complete success and she LOVES IT! (We named the fragrance Embalming Fluid!) Otso, you are so kind and funny! If I remember correctly, you've been there for a while but you clearly train second to none! Thank you so much and I will be back!

    Fortunately, my friend reserved a time for us! There were so many walk ins (overheard it was ~20min…read morewait time for walk ins) early in the morning, around 11:30AM on a weekend. The entire experience was really fun and informative. Big shout out to Joanna who was super friendly and helpful! Very knowledgeable and I could tell she genuinely loves what she does and was eager to help us. She helped us every step of the way, from picking a base scent to giving us many options to explore with the base scent. It was definitely a treat for myself. It was ~$80 per person, $20 more for intensifying the perfume smell, and $45 for the solid palette (the base + 2 scents). It was an absolute steal with their promotion today! They had other promo items such as body wash, shampoo, diffusers, etc that were on sale today. I'm very happy with the options and loved the outcome of my special perfume! Crossed this off my bucket list!

    Torn between a three or four star rating for my experience. This is more of a 3.5 star review…read more It was one of my best friend's first time in NYC and I thought how fun will it be to create our own fragrances? It's not like we have this in our hometown. Making a reservation is available but I figured we'd be okay as walk-ins especially on a weekday. Upon walking in, we were greeted and felt welcome. Our 'scent specialist' led us to the wall where there's about 11 base scents to smell and pick one that suits our liking. My friend EASILY was able to choose quite a few that she loved. I, however, struggled. Nothing stood out to me. It was either way too light where I can't smell it or way too strong and masculine. I love light florals, beachy, clean/fresh and none of the base scents were any of that. In the end, I settled for "Rae" (smells mainly citrus?) as my base while my friend choose "Reed." After choosing our base, our scent specialist started adding different drops of other scents they believe you'll like on top of your base scent. They combined plenty of different options (like over five different combos). I ended up choosing a mix of hydrangea, geranium and lilac. Sounds good to me...hey, remember I like fresh, light florals. Sadly, even with all the scents of florals mixed in my finished bottle, I ended up only mainly smelling the citrus from my base scent. This was a cool experience but left disappointed. You're essentially mixing pre-designed perfumes/scents together to make "your" blend, you're not creating a perfume totally from scratch. I've read some reviews about weak staying power. I also have a friend who made her own bottle before and also said the same thing. However, I can smell my freakin "Rae" headache inducing scent HOURSSSS later. Go figure, right? The total was about $93 and that's tax included for a 1.7 fl oz. bottle.
