AER is heavier than hot summer air and fresh as a cool moist garden air full of coniferous trees at the same time.
Light green notes give way to a terpenic/herbaceous scent with woody/earthy and some spicy undertones.
Unfortunately the firm base that whole composition is based on it annoys me. I’m not sure what it is really made of, but I can describe it this way; an ambery accord empowered by synthetic ambergris infused with a sugary moss and a mutated vetiver. It is roughly the same cloying accord that all so-called NICHE houses use in the base when it comes to fresh fragrances!
A nice fragrance that is not my cup of tea at all.

This smells like an herbal tea to me, one of those cleansing ones, that don’t really taste good at all. It’s a no for me perhaps the bad associations…I smell chamomile and licorice notes too.

It makes me cough! it is the wood powder beside the vetiver as the citrus is quite thin but good that it’s there to add the sour effect to the juice. as it calms down the wood powder becomes stable with the help of elemi and some mint with more citrus.
It has a certain feeling as in Liquo but never the same, i guess it’s just the aura behind those 2 fragrances as i see Aer quite charming and acceptable to my taste.
Edit (20th Dec 2016) I don’t know what happened? i have purchased a full bottle and still in the box never opened, so i thought of using the sample sample again and it felt as if i am sniffing a spicy meal on a cooking process! very spicy and sort of spices! I then used a brand new sample of this one and again i am sniffing that weird smell! what have happened to the charm i sniffed before?

What would serve to highlight the aer composition again is a shot in the arm of the brand. A perfume with a twilight fog inspiration looks more like a morning breeze and dew on grass. Aer, as well Hatria, goes into obvious direction and for what works and does not bring anything new. This certainly annoys me and it happens in almost every vetiver perfume, because it seems to me like an endless creative laziness from the perfumer. In a brief, this is a minty vetiver, with a spicy herbal touch dry and salty. Aer does not go beyond that and do not even look like a natural vetiver, which strikes me as odd for a scent of a higher price range, considering that vetiver essential oil is not among the more expensive products of perfumery.

He is looking, outside his Car. The steering is still in his hand. It’s a long drive. Just have stopped beside the highway for a quick rest! It’s afternoon. It’s summer. Still it’s a shady day.
He is transported to a distant memory, in an afternoon quite similar to this. He was in High-School. Rebecca and he was sitting on a bench, beside a High-Way. He had a peppermint gum, in his mouth. Wind was blowing through the sun-dried long grasses. Hardly there was anyone. And then, there was their first kiss. He was excited, with a bit of guilt, the reason of which was unknown.
The memory broke. Rebecca is not in his life after High-School. He looked back. His daughter is still asleep. He, again got the sense of guilt. He started his car.
Aer, is all about a lonely afternoon, a shady day, the wind over the grasses, a kiss, with a peppermint and a sense of guilt. All the ingredients are soo well present. As, alfrarom says, it starts with the most realistic smell of grapefruit. The elemi, gives a pungent touch to it. But the star is the Mint. Such, a lovely one here. It’s soft, and earthy. I hardly get the vetiver.A perfume, for your solitude.
Sillage: Soft. A skin perfume, to enjoy when you are with your own company.
Longevity on my skin: Approx 4-5 Hours. I wonder, how a soft perfume like this remains there for such a long time
Longevity on fabric: Approx 6 Hours
Occasion: It’s a very interesting perfume, with soo much to say! Enjoy it yourself, in your lonely periods. This perfume works exceptionally well in warm seasons, rather than cooler ones.
P.S: The bottle, with it’s rugged look and the Gothic Rose cap, is just marvelous!!!

An herbalized, semi-retro take on a modern vetiver. This one’s juniper-powered with a great mint leaf opening, so it has that herbal-fresh berry-esque thing going on. Usually juniper spells disaster for me, but it’s handled with care here and it sits well with the vetiver to produce an aerated fresh scent that smells neither harsh nor overly angular. In that regard, I think Aer is a confident take on a mainstream fresh masculine but with more of a wildcrafted feel to it. The name seems appropriate as it conjures in my mind an (admittedly) idyllic image of what I envision the Italian country side smells like. It also smells crafty, but with none of the negative baggage that can come with that term; it’s more like a formula that’s been handed down through a family for decades or something. The only real gripe I have with it is that after an hour or so, most of the great opening notes are gone, and you’re left with a pleasant but standard-issue Iso E and vetiver base. Having said that, I still find Aer to be one of the better offerings from the line — one that’s very easy to get along with. I’d recommend this more for fans of herbal aromatics than anything.

What really compels me about most of the fragrances in the Ciampagna’s range, is the level of competence these people transmit. Aer makes no exception.
A summery take on vetiver loaded with hyper-realistic and never overly synth citruses (a great grapefruit note here), greens and subtle smoky notes. Think about an hypothetical mash up between Roucel’s Kenzoair (the anisic, slightly sweet aspect of the vetiver), the smoky-minty facets of Harmatan Noir by Parfumerie Generale and the transparency of some of the most successful latest Hermes. Yes, Aer is all of the above but it also has that subtle twist that makes all the compositions by Angela Ciampagna, something that stand on their own. That certain twist you would expect from, say, Etat Libre D’Orange or even from one of the *easiest* Comme Des Garcons.
A favortie.
