16a Orchard from Aedes de Venustas, composed by Frank Voelkl in 2021, is a fruity floral built around quince, with spice and a soft suede base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, most also find it spicy, gourmand and citrus, and a minority mention musk and amber.
Lemon and bergamot give the opening a bright, sparkling freshness, while ginger and cardamom add a zesty, aromatic spice. Quince is the centrepiece: a fruit with a scent between apple and pear, honeyed and slightly floral, which gives the orchard feel of the name. The heart brings lily of the valley, fresh and dewy, jasmine, sunny and soft, and iris, cool and powdery. The base is smooth and warm, with suede adding a soft leather texture, tonka bean an almond-like sweetness and ambroxan and musk a clean radiance.
Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like fruity florals with sophistication. The profile works for spring and autumn, daytime, the office and relaxed occasions. Those who enjoy quince and iris compositions should find it refined.
