If you’re tired of smelling like everyone else it’s time to find your signature scent. Visit Aedes de Venustas, a tiny shop tucked away in the West Village, where you can search for carefully picked scents by hard-to-find designers like Molinard 1849 and L’Artisan Parfumeur, or find your favorite Diptyque candle to freshen your home. If you’re lost, just describe what you like and their knowledgeable, scent-obsessed staff will guide you in the right direction. You might be tempted to buy it all, but it’s okay if you become an addict—you can always snag more bottles online to hide your obsession.
