Description
“Though it bears the French name for carnation, the “Bengale Oeillet” is actually a variety of China rose, Rosa Indica caryophyllea, bred by the floral painter and botanist Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-1840). When we found it while leafing through Redouté’s 1824 book of botanical prints Les Roses, we were seduced by the shape-shifting blossom. It is the ambivalent name and appearance of the Bengale Oeillet rather than its scent that inspires the third AEDES DE VENUSTAS offering.
When it hijacked the carnation’s name, the rose was playing with fire. Carnation is a flamboyant retro charmer that borrows facets from rose and ylang-ylang. But it has a volatile personality. Add explosive exotic spices to it powdery scent and you’ll start a chain reaction. A bright, peppery bergamot sends off the first sparks. An incense stick sets the scent ablaze. Driven into the heart of Œillet Bengale, it binds the citrusy top notes to the sweet resinous base, acting as the flower’s stem. Or is it the gunpowder-coated metal rod of a Bengal fire?
Black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, saffron, and an unusual lash of citrusy, herbaceous, gingery turmeric… Spicy fireworks turn the red blossom black. Once they’ve subsided into a slow burn, it emerges to blow a glamorous, strawberry-flavored lipstick kiss. Serrated petals like tiny teeth : being from Bengal, this reincarnated rose is also a tiger, clawing its way into the amber base with animal white pepper. It is then that, tamed by sweet balsams – vanilla, tolu, benzoin and labdanum –, Oeillet Bengale curls up with a languid purr.” – a note from the brand.
Oeillet Bengale by Aedes de Venustas is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Oeillet Bengale was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Top notes are turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, cloves and saffron; middle notes are rose, white pepper, big strawberry and floral notes; base notes are vanilla, tolu balsam, benzoin and labdanum.

کار خوب و باارزشی ست.کلا این برند هیچ کار بدی نداره حتی متوسط هم نداره اما افسوس بی خود گرونش کردن.همشون هم پرفورمنس متوسط دارن که شخصا معتقدم نقطه قوت تا ضعف! درواقع از مهمترین نشانه های ناشیگری و آماتوريسم در عطر تاکید بر پرفورمنس به عنوان فاکتور تعيين کننده خرید عطر است گرچه خوب برخی کارها خوشحال میشیم پرفورمنس عالی دارند اما هرگز نباید حتی یک نمره از عطر را بخاطر پرفورمنس در نظر گرفت! بعد از دروغ گفتن درباره عطرها این دومین چیزیه که باید پاکش کرد و بی خیالش شد مگر برای کسانی که مصرف کننده عطر هستند نه عطرباز یعنی یک عطرو واسه چندماه مصرف آتي میخره و قاعدتا دوست داره همه هم بدونن عطر زده
اویلت بنگال،ایریس نازارینا و اودر سه کاریه که مصرف شخصی داشتم و معتقدم هرسه عالی اند.برای مبتدی ها همون بهتر که بفروشنشون اگر اشتباهی گرفتن و یا نخرن اگر نگرفتن اما کسی که عطر دوست داره و قراره عطر براش حکم کتاب و هنر داشته باشه شخصا قول شرف میدم هیچ کاری از این برند نیست که عالی،هنرمندانه و شكوهمند نباشه! فقط قیمتشون متأسفانه خیلی عجیب بالا رفته.هفتصد تومن عالیه و آیریس هم کمی بیشتر می ارزه گرچه جیب شما تعیین کننده س
عطر چهارفصلی که سمت گرمش بیشتره یعنی بهار و پاییزه س با محوریت اسپایسی ها و اندکی حس گلی و رز که رزش بین شیرینی و تلخی در نوسان و اون اندک شیرینی غیرفلورال احتمالا از صمغ ها بیاد اما صمغ ها و روایح گلی نقش فرعى در آغاز کار دارن و عطر کلا اسپایسی با محوریت میخک است.
در آخر اینکه اگر کار اسپایسی با محوريت میخک خواستید که حتی از این هم باکیفیت تر باشه منتهی واسه فصل گرم و بهار و کمی اوایل پاییز،برید سراغ پیپر نگریوم لورنزو ویلورسی و در مرحله بعد خود اسپایسی لورنزو ویلورسی! هردو اسپایسی میخک محور تابستانه که پیپرنگریوم کاملا میخک ناب و اسپایسی یا اسپیزی شاید از پیپرنگریوم به مراتب خوشپوش تر و خوشبوتر باشه.اونام تو پرفورمنس متوسط اند گرچه در آغاز عالی شروع میکنن
اویلت بنگال ارزش خرید رو داره تردید نکنید

Oeillet Bengale by Aedes De Venustas-
Regal, Elegant, Exotic, Wealthy, High Class, Jet Set, Limousines, Diamonds, Opulence, elegant late night Jazz clubs, Exquisite, Big City, You get the idea. These are some of the things this fragrance conjures up for my senses.
This smells amazing as does much of what this perfume house puts out. It’s one of those perfumes that you just can’t stop sniffing the affected appendage.
It opens with an exquisite bloom of Cloves, Labdanum, Rose, Spices, and Vanilla for a moderate to heavy sillage, depending on how much you spray or dab this magnificient fragrance upon thyself. Let’s just say, for the record, I really laid this beauty on, so much so, that one could actually confirm consummation of our union. Yes, we made passionate love.
Somehow the Labdanum and Vanilla meld together to create an almost civet note, but without the skank. It’s quite a wonderful experience on the nose, it helps to lean the senses toward the imagery of the elegant side of life. I could have sworn that there was civet in it, much to my surprise to see that nary a civet or musk note exists on the pyramid.
About an hour later, it mellows down to a soft to moderate sillage, of mostly Labdanum, Vanilla and Cloves with drafts of rose and berries wafting elegantly in and out.
It has a wet, oily warmth to it with just a poof of powder to lighten it up a bit. There is a slight fruitiness from berries that makes you want to lick this off your body.
After a few hours, this really mellows down to a soft sillage, where it leans more toward Vanilla and Labdanum but also leaning to an herbal grassy note that drifts up very lightly from some unknown source. Where did that come from? Maybe from the dissipating Cloves note, It’s not a bad thing, but that’s when it’s time to make love again with a fresh application.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Oeillet Bengale by Aedes de Venustas is a diamond gem of a fragrance Highly recommended by High Roller himself as is much of everything that this perfume house creates. An Exquisitely crafted fragrance, worthy of a Standing Ovation and Resounding Applause.

I am of an age where the original Opium was my very favourite. The same age when if you bought carnations, they smelt of carnations!! These days this is rare to find. For my wedding day I had discovered Floris Malmasion (now discontinued) and loved it. But since then (and it’s a long time!) I have struggled to find anything that comes close – despite trying many.
But in January I was visiting a small niche fragrance boutique in Bristol and mentioned that I was always on the look out for a realistic carnation. The lovely lady there said she knew of one and sprayed Oeillet Bengale on me. Immediately I was transported back through the years to my old favourites. I couldn’t buy it on that day but this week it is mine. I see that carnation does not feature in the list of notes and I read somewhere that this could be because people think of it as an old fashioned thing. That does not matter to me, I feel as though I have re-connected with something and I am very happy. So, for anyone like me who loves carnation I would definitely recommend giving this one a try.

This is too feminine, smells a lot like one of the Opiums Y.S.L. made for the girls. And the problem is that it has no power.
be7770 – :
Intense, purple flowers and a little bit soft leathers and maybe softly touch by iris shortly. If i were a woman may I buy this stuff. Actually I can say this: Like chloe perfumes.
Scent: 8/10
Sillage: 8,5/10
Long: 9/10

Curiously, a fragrance inspired by the Carnation not take so precious essence.
Witty and with a nostalgic air and even retro, evoking find it delightfully modern female fragrances of yesteryear, to avant-garde, inspiring and extremely masculine to the present day.
It reminds me and gives me the same feeling with Vitriol d’Oeillet of Lutens.
The opening is somewhat chaotic but perfectly assembled quickly assembled chords here spices, eugenol, pepper and cinámicas notes, win the game at the Rose and floral notes. Everything evolves into a beautiful balsamic drydown that feels moderately sweet and smoky make Oeillet Bengale a very good fragrance during this phase.
I still prefer the velvety softness complex “Vitriol d’Oeillet”.
Rating: 6.5
AndroiD_andrey – :
Totally agree with who wrote it’s VERY similar to parfum sacrè INTENSE de Caron. Buy the aferomentioned and spare your money for this one. Not bad, but nothing original: it’a peppery, powdery carnation rose, with good lasting power, but nothing can justify the price.

If you like the smell of clove ، Oeillet Bengale is one of the best perfumes .
because From beginning to end, you will feel the scent of cloves
اسم عطر به فرانسوی میشه میخک بنگال
پس با یه عطر که بوی غالبش میخکه طرف هستید
که منو یاد دهه 70 میندازه که بزرگ ترا این تیپ عطرهارو استفاده میکردند
وقتی عطر رو پوستتون اسپری کنید بوی تند و بسیار طبیعی فلفل سیاه رو متجه میشید که حدود چند ثانیه طول خواهد کشید تا این وضعیت فروکش کنه .
سپس روایج بسیار ضعیف گلی به همراه بوی مشخص میخک رو حس خواهید کرد .
حداکثر بعد از 10 دقیقه عطر رو به گرمی و شیرینی متعادلی میره
واقعیتش نمیشه به صورت مطمئن گفت که چه روایحی باعث این تند و اسپایسی و شیرینی و گرمی عطر میشند
حالت تندی این لحظات منو یاد زیره میندازه
ولی چیزی که مشخصه اینکه شما هرگز نمیتونید بگید که عطر بیش از اندازه شیرینه و یا ترشه ! چون هنرمندانه بالانس شده
حالت اسپایسی منو یاد دارچین پودر شده میندازه چون حالتی پودری داره عطر و این حس رو به من منتقل میکنه
اگه بخوام روراست باشم عناصر تشکیل دهنده عطر توان قدرتنمایی در مقابل میخک رو ندارند و شما از اول تا آخر بوی میخک که غالبه رو حس خواهید کرد ولی تاثیرات مثبت و بجایی رو بجای میگذارند
به شخصه با این که این عطر بسیار خلاقانه میکس شده ولی بازم نمیتونم حتی دوستش داشته باشم چه برسه به اینکه عاشق رایحش
باشم . چون بوی میخک حالا به هر نحوی که باشه منو یاد دندانپزشکی میندازه . چون از میخک برای بی حس کردن دندان استفاده میشه.
خیلی راحت هم میتونید از عطاری ها تهیش کنید تا با بوش آشنا بشید
به هر حال اگر از میخک خوشتون میاد این عطر یکی از بهترین عطرهایی هست ک ه میتونید در فروشگاه ها پیدا کنید
هم از لحاظ کیفیت و هم از لحاظ خاص و ترکیب رایحه
میمونه قیمتش که برای اهل دل مسئله ای نیست
عطر پخش بوی قابل توجهی داره در 1 ساعت اول ولی بعد از اون افت میکنه
ماندگاری عطر هم خوبه ولی بعد از چندین ساعت همین بهتر که ماندگاری نداشته باشه چون بسیار ضعیف جس میشه

The opening reminded me a lot of Rose 31 by Le labo, I suppose it’s the spicy/peppery rose combination. Then comes quite a synthetic smelling fruity veil that actually turned my stomach a bit. Hubba Bubba chewing gum in pink came to my mind and it stays in that spicy fruity floral middle note for a while…
I expected more for the price. The staying power seems excellent though (usually is the case with scents that you don’t enjoy!)

I’m not sure what’s going on with this. It smells, to me, like an elaborate incense fragrance that the perfumer grew frustrated with but they released it anyway; it’s super disorganized and confused. It reminds me a little of Jubilation XXV with the sound turned way down. It’s floral, fruity, frilly, slightly creamy, perhaps a little spicy, yet it somehow manages to not smell like much of anything in particular except something from the past. Compared to the the bitter blast of AdV’s first release (the rhubarb one), I can’t help but wonder if the line has any cohesion at all. It’s not a hideous scent, but it doesn’t have much in the way of character. A placid, slightly creamy/floral incense that won’t offend, but won’t turn heads either. It lasts well, but that just adds to the confusion, really.
vetalnet – :
A poofy floral fragrance that exceeds the speed limit in punctuation. Not at all unisex..smells like I spent the weekend at grandma’s house. I didn’t pick up any of the warm balsamic components to the point that it feels like I was sent the wrong sample in error.

Aedes de Venustas Oeillet Bengale. Even that some creations has emerged on the last years, it’s rare to find fragrances with a carnation inspiration, possibly due the old-fashioned retro aura they possess and the difficulty in sustaining an accord like this inside the current restrictions that limit a lot one of the main responsibles for the clove/carnation smell, the eugenol. Oeillet Bengale, somehow, is able to be successful in creating a carnation scent in this scenario, sustaining the warm, spicy and sweet powdery aroma for quite a good time.The opening has an interesting clove nuance, it reminds me the smell of the little dried cloves when you open their package to pick some and put in some recipe. After that the carnation assumes its medicinal, oily side and also a powdery aroma in its flower accord.I notice that the cinnamon is worked in a complementary way to it, giving it a sweeter side.The rose and saffron here also work as complements, but to the flower part of the idea; they are structured to reflect the a silky, spicy, and sweet powdery aroma to the carnation. Oeillet Bengale finishes in a similar way to Washington Tremlett Clove Absolute in a sweet and resinous base of vanilla, benjoin, labdanum and tolu balsam, an oriental and warm base with a sweet side just right.I’m enthusiast of clove and carnation fragrances and i think this one is, thus, fascinating.
SmerFFFeta – :
Opens with a burst of spices, and develops with a layer of incense wafting below and above the spices. Floral notes soften the spices, but the cinnamon and clove mingle and are the focal point. Lovely, warm, exotic without veering into the realm of the bizarre.
Arden – :
As far as I understand, Oeillet Bengale was actually supposed to be a rose-inspired scent (being Oeillet Bengale a specific variety of rose) but, as a matter of fact, I read it more like a carnation fragrance…and a good one at that.
The opening is a bit off-putting with a messy spice melange and super sweet, kind of fruity notes. Eww…
Fortuntely, the fragrance immediately takes a different route by introducing a very nice carnation note supported by incense and other resins. Spices finally find their places while other resins provide a kind of vintage vibe enhanced by smooth, cosmestic-like, floral patterns. It’s good because it’s never too clovey, never too sweet or soapy and, honestly, when it comes to carnation-centered fragrance, that’s quite a lot. Overall, I find Oeillet Bengale to be a solid bridge between classic 80s style feminine orientals and modern perfumery.
Probably not my favorite style of fragrance but if you like the genre, this is together with Come Des Garcons Carnation and JAR Golconda, one of the best carnations currently available on the market. Pretty tenacious too.
Rating: 7/10

I was promised that this invokes the smell of a funeral home. And on paper, for a certain amount of time, it did. Alas, not on my skin. As usual, my skin encourages the soft, the sweet and the musc in everything. Despite the balsam and the spices – extremely feminine.
P.s. It doesn’t resemble Opium in any way for me. Too soft and, comparatively speaking, subtle in character.
amd262InsuffBooni – :
Oh no! I had considered purchasing this until meama stated this is “rsurrection of Opium”–
Anyone else think this smells like Opium? I cannot wear Opium–it makes me nauseous and gives me headache.
Khachik2008 – :
What a beautiful fragrance!
Spicy, exotic, incense rose. This is soft, super aromatic , delicious, a little woody. Definitely leaning towards feminine for me.
This is also light and airy, very versatile fragrance.
Love it!
ltkmaby – :
Una rosa speziata pungente molto pepata, forse troppo…Mi ricorda molto Parfum Sacre Intense Caron.
Interessante ma non originale. Buona persistenza.
Una rosa “bordeaux”, piccantina, priva di dolcezza.
JMMM – :
Clovey rose which reminds me of Chanel No.18. I thought I smelled ambrette but it is not listed.
It’s very beautiful and soft.
aaa011speagoessenda – :
Best blind buy ever!!! Best of the 3 from this house & I’m not even a fan of rose. Aedes is a new contender in my heart right up there with Malle & Amouage.
