I just received the Aedes de Venusta candle as a gift. It's really extraordinary! It has a warm, resinous mellow introduction with a sudden burst of something really fresh–smells almost like, well, water? And then it returns to it's inner journey of leather and slight musc…it's really unique. A bit more 'masculine' than my usual choice of candle, but also very alluring for that reason.
I hear it really is fabulous, and I thought the packaging was lovely.
