History
Aedes de Venustas, which translates to "temple of beauty" in Latin, opened in March 1995 on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, New York. The idea behind AEDES was providing personalized service and exclusive scents that could not be found in department stores, resulting in a fragrance sanctuary with scented candles, potpourris, perfumes, soaps and skin care products displayed on ornate etageres and damask-covered tables. The store relocated to the vibrant Lower East Side in 2018, offering fragrance consultation by a dedicated perfume advisor.
