Aedes Perfumery

Super cool place. The vibes were great. The employees were really helpful. You basically tell someone at the desk what kind of notes or perfumes you're interested in and they'll bring you as many samples as you want to help you narrow down which perfume you'd like. I didn't feel rushed at all. The guy who helped me had me smell like 25 different perfumes and kept bringing me more until I had a couple I was completely set on. Even then he brought me a couple more to try. Definitely recommend for anyone even if you aren't a total perfume geek.

I surprised my boyfriend, who loves fragrances, with a visit here for his birthday yesterday. We had an amazing experience! Matthew patiently took us on a journey of scents based on my boyfriend’s descriptions ranging from metallic to leather to woodsy. It was so great to see his eyes light up when we finally reached the more woodsy scents that he was gravitating towards. It was the best feeling to be able to get him a surprise gift he really loves that he didn’t even know he wanted or needed.

Been here several times. Not self service. Enjoyed having counter service with someone who could talk you thru which scents you liked in one perfume so they could suggest others. Enjoyed exposure to Brooklyn and nyc based brands. Always leave with a new scent!

Went all the way here to find a niche perfume. Small and beautifully decorated shop. The owner opened the door for me but Matthew is the one attending me. I explained what my scent preferences are, Matthew gave quite few options and thorough explanation about brand and note of each perfume. Definitely a five star desk service and i came out buying two perfumes instead of one. If you are after a niche brand perfume that are well curated from all over the world, this is one of the place you can explore. Thank you, Matthew for your help today.

“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.

Amazing products with unique scents that you can’t find anywhere else on the market! Knowledgable staff and exceptional customer service! Definitely a hidden gem within LES.

One of my favorite places. I’ve been going since Christopher st original location. This one is bigger. They have counter service only when you walk in, which is actually helpful - since they have so many products (including an awesome in house line of fragrance and candles) it becomes a bespoke appointment with recommendations. So important to continue supporting legacy companies with niche focuses like this. Highly recommended.

Being a very small store and I was the only person there, I expected a warmer welcome. They did introduce me to a perfume that I loved and purchased, but I wouldn’t rush back based on the customer service.
