Ted Young-Ing started AER because he loves perfume. In fact, he has always loved perfume. But in a world full of commercial synthetics, he just couldn't find the "perfect" scent.
"what kind of person starts a perfume house?"
He wanted a fragrance that was bold and unique, but also fairly traded and made with natural ingredients. He couldn't find it. So decided to make his own...
Each of the perfumes is inspired by the scent of a single raw ingredient. They search the world for extraordinary natural plant extracts of incredible quality. When they find something exquisite, this ingredient becomes the centre of a new AER Scents perfume. Then they highlight special aspects of the star with a host of supporting ingredients to create an exciting, modern perfume.
