Ambre Liquide by Astier de Villatte
100ml Eau de Parfum
Olfactive Family - Floral Amber
Perfume Author - Dominique Ropion

Drawn straight from the fantastical Middle Ages and the legendary pomander – that perfumed-jewel used to ensure good health for body and soul – Ambre Liquide, like a precious talisman, exhales a marvellous amber, vanilla and slightly sweet scent with mystical, comforting powers.

Reinterpreted today by Dominique Ropion from an incredible recipe dating from 1348, rich in fragrant ingredients to ward off the Black Death and the forces of evil, its intensely fragrant formula immediately transports us to another world. Delectable scents of spices and aromatics are released, including warm, amber, resinous absolute of Cistus, a wild shrub from the arid Spanish scrublands; Damask Rose, the sweetest, most opulent and honeyed of all roses; heady, intoxicating wild Myrrh. Styrax resin with its warm musky trail of leather tones; and highly spiritual Frankincense.

Scent Profile - Cistus Labdanum, Damask Rose, Myrrh, Styrax, Leather, Frankincense, Vanilla

The 1348 formula, rediscovered by Annick Le Guérer -

Styrax calamite, gum arabic, myrrh, frankincense, aloe, red roses, sandalwood, musk, nutmeg, cloves, mace (nutmeg husk), ben nut (from Africa), karabe (yellow amber), basil, marjoram, savoury, mint, clove root, amber, nard oil (from India), muscatellin (musk-infused) oil.

The perfume historian Annick Le Guérer was immediately captivated by the therapeutic pomander with its magical claims to ward off illness and ailments of body and soul, which first appeared in the 12th century, presented in 1174 by the King of Jerusalem to Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. A solid perfume, it was a ball of musk set with gold and diamonds, reserved for nobles and the wealthy, to be always carried and sniffed at the slightest hint of unpleasant odour in order to boost the immune system and fight melancholy. But the actual recipe for the divine scent that so enchanted the historian was concocted in 1348 by the College of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris to combat the great plague that was invading Europe. Composed of the richest and rarest ingredients, imported from all over the world via the Spice Route, it exhaled an intensely fragrant perfume, set in its sphere of gold and silver. “For the people,” Annick Le Guérer explains, “there were less expensive variants, using plants like savoury and basil, as well as a few spices and, above all, camphor and absinthe vinegars, which were used to coat the body.”

Because of its incredible fragrance, she decided to pass on the formula to the perfumer Dominique Ropion, her lifelong accomplice: “It was up to him to reconstitute Ambre Liquide, magnifying all those divine scents of materials outlawed in today’s perfumery.”

Artaban by Astier de Villatte
Les Trois Parfums Historiques Collection
100ml Eau de Parfum
Olfactive Family - Floral | Amber (Oriental) | Classical
Perfume Author - Dominique Ropion

Artaban is hailed for the incredible lavishness of its formula, no less than twenty-four raw materials (serichatum, costus, cassia, styrax....) imported at great expense from the most distant lands. This "royal perfume", originally created for the Parthian kings, was highly coveted by wealthy Romans. They could not get enough of it, enthusiastically soaking themselves with it at every opportunity, as was the fashion of the time.

Reinterpreted by Dominique Ropion, Artaban is a pure concentrate of the wonders of the plant universe. We get to delight in its heady scents - bitter sweet marjoram with its small, green, rounded leaves exhaling a delicious aroma; cardamom with a spicy, aniseed tang fruity note, like a bracing gust of wind: cistus labdanum, whose white flowers adorned with crimson dots gave it the name 'tears of Christ'; sweet vanilla amber, with its scent of incense: and warm cinnamon, humanity's most ancient spice. Artaban is filled with earthy, resinous and woody accords, and green and herbaceous calamus with multiple fragrant facets.

Scent Profile of Marjoram, Cardamom, Cistus Labdanum, Vanilla, Amber, Cinnamon

A book comes with each box purchased. Printed on the Astier de Villatte typographic presses, it retraces the epic story of the three historic perfumes. Bilingual texts in French and English by Annick Le Guérant, Sophie Mazeaud and Lionel Paillès. An interview with the Astier de Villatte team and perfumer Dominique Ropion completes this book. Illustrated by the artist Eva Jospin.

Les Trois Parfums Historiques: Le Dieu Bleu, Artaban, Les Nuits. These perfumes are the result of a meeting between Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, the creators of Astier de Villatte, Dominique Ropion, perfumer, and Annick Le Guérer, perfume historian, anthropologist and researcher. All of them driven by the same passion: to restore the prestige of three mythical and magnificent fragrances — Le Dieu bleu (Egyptian kyphi), Artaban (the Roman “royal perfume”), Les Nuits (the perfume of George Sand) — by reconstituting as closely as possible the formulas of the time according to the regulations of today’s perfumery.

Star perfumer at IFF, Dominique Ropion pulled out all the stops in the reconstitution of these three formulas, a perilous exercise considering their richness and complexity. His close collaboration of more than twenty years with Annick Le Guérer was the starting point of the project. The historian provided him with precise documents for the first two perfumes, right down to recipes and the proportions of each ingredient, as well as dregs from the bottom of a travel phial of George Sand’s perfume, entrusted by one of her descendants, Christiane Sand. Ingredients which no longer complied with and are prohibited by current perfumery standards had to be adapted or replaced with substitutes. State-of-the-art technology and innovation made this artistic and technical challenge possible.

These three fragrances were produced at the Atelier du Parfumeur in Grasse using 100% natural raw materials, essences and concretes, as well as new aromas

Designers of furniture and white ceramics Ivan Pericoli and Benoît founded their company Astier de Villatte in 1996 in association with friends and family. Successor to the Parisian manufactures of the 18th century, satire de village is now the only major studio to keep the tradition of artisanal ceramic production in Paris alive. In 2000, they opened the boutique at 173 rue Saint Honoré, which also presented their other creations for the home: titanium cutlery, borosilicate glassware and above all the wonderful collection of traditionally printed notebooks.

In 2008 they decided to join forces with Japanese fragrance company Takasago and together begin creating luxury scented products. Working with their associates Emilie Massed and Françoise Caron, the star perfumer at Takasago fragrance Astier de Villatte’s range of scented products was born

Commune de Paris Cologne 150ml by Astier de Villatte
Olfactive Family - Aromatic | Citrus
Cologne designed by Françoise Caron and the Takasago perfume team

For Commune de Paris – the rebellious and edgy label created by three Parisian creators of fashion and product design – Astier de Villatte and Françoise Caron have imagined Cologne 1871, a revolutionary Eau de Cologne.

At first, Commune de Paris Cologne opens with an explosion of Sicilian lemons along with rosemary and bergamot. But underneath this acidic and aromatic exterior, Cologne 1871 hides the ineffable charm of the powdery scents characteristic of its time. Suave labdanum, benzoin, cedarwood and patchouli are combined with the first two synthetic molecules ever created by man – coumarin that smells like cut grass, and benzalehide that smells like almonds – making it a most unique and comforting scent.

Contains Essences of Italian Lemon, Rosemary, Bergamot, Pink Pepper Extract, Lavender Absolute, Labdanum, Benzoin, Patchouli, Vetiver, Cedar Wood, “Benzaldehyde” discovered in 1803 by French pharmacist Martrès, “Coumarin” was first isolated from tonka beans in 1820 by A. Vogel of Munich. (Coumarin has been an integral part of the fougère genre of perfume since it was first used in Houbigant's Fougère Royale in 1882)

Dehli 100ml by Astier de Villatte
100ml Eau de Parfum
Hand Blown Bottle made in France

A spicy, mystical plunge into the winding, chaotic streets of the old city. Amid the sounds of car horns, rickshaws and mopeds, the maelstrom of smells from the bazaars and the smoke of incense from sacred sites, the atmosphere is sultry and effervescent. Suddenly, a divine fragrance fills the air: a gust of heady, sun-kissed champaca, warm, sensual myrrh, the woody, smoky, earthy accents of patchouli and vetiver, mingled with the sweet notes of rose petals, peppery cardamom and fruity green bergamot.

Scent Profile - Champaca Flower, Orange blossom, Myrrh, Patchouli, Vetiver, Red Cedar, Bergamot, Cardamom, Rose

About Astier de Villatte

Created in 1996, Astier de Villatte has many facets:

– An artisanal ceramics workshop in Paris, the only one of its kind, which takes up and modernises the tradition of Parisian manufacturers of the 18th century.

– A typographic printing press in the Paris suburbs, the last in France (and one of the last in the world) to print lead books.

– A publishing house, with three first publications, the atypical guide Ma Vie à Paris, the art book Drawings with the poly-talented artist Lou Doillon and now the new edition of Mitsou de Balthus.

– A perfume creation workshop where, in collaboration with exceptional noses, colognes, incense and a whole collection of scented candles on the theme of an olfactory world tour are invented.

In 2008, it was a novelty, a scented dishwashing liquid launched for fun at the store and sold in the thousands, which propelled them into the magical world of scented products. With their associate, Emilie, in collaboration with Françoise Caron, star perfumer at Takasago, a Japanese fragrance creation company, they launched their Eau de Cologne, their Hand Care and their first collection of scented candles on the delirious theme of a olfactory world tour. Over the years, the collection of scented candles and eau de cologne grew, thanks to the creativity of other highly talented perfumers, including Nathalie Feisthauer, Alexandra Monet and Christophe Raynaud.

Eager to extend the range of perfumes for the home, Benoît and Ivan leave for Awaji, the island of Japan specialised for hundreds of years in the manufacture of the best incense in the world. Thus begins a new adventure, combining the know-how of Awaji’s family workshops with that of the great Parisian perfumers.

More than collaborations, for Astier de Villatte it’s about stories of friendship and aesthetic affinities leading to the creation of a universe that wants to be unique in its kind.

Today about fifty workers, mostly Tibetans, work in the manufacture of ceramics and Astier de Villatte lamps, two people are employed by the printing works, and about fifteen people are divided between the two Parisian shops and the offices

Le Dieu Bleu by Astier de Villatte
Trois Parfums Historiques Collection
100ml Eau de Parfum
Olfactive Family - Floral | Amber (Oriental)
Perfume Author - Dominique Ropion

Le Dieu Bleu is based on the oldest perfume in the world, unique and mysterious, used more than 3000 years ago in ancient Egypt, recreated by Dominique Ropion.

Rising from the depths of the Egyptian age, 4000 BC, Le Dieu Bleu exhales its divine and mysterious perfume like a trace from a supernatural past. Destined for the gods, its heady scents of aromatic herbs, sap, roots and bark were intended to establish mediation with the powers of beyond.

Meticulously reconstructed today by Dominique Ropion, this marvellous, vibrant, intoxicating, radiant scents transport us immediately to the colourful splendours of the temples and frescoes of ancient Egypt. Here merges the intense warmth of honeyed Broom flower, mystical and heady myrrh that flows from the tree in spicy yet sweet white tears; rustic Lentisk or balm of Gilead, fresh and green; and calamus (opoponax), with its astonishing scent of herbs, spices and wood, that grows in dense clumps on the peaceful banks of the Nile.

Scent Profile - Broom, Myrrh, Calamus, Lentisk

A book comes with each box purchased. Printed on the Astier de Villatte typographic presses, it retraces the epic story of the three historic perfumes. Bilingual texts in French and English by Annick Le Guérant, Sophie Mazeaud and Lionel Paillès. An interview with the Astier de Villatte team and perfumer Dominique Ropion completes this book. Illustrated by the artist Eva Jospin.

Trois Parfums Historiques Collection
Olfactive Family - Woody | Floral
Perfume Author - Dominique Ropion

Les Nuits imagines a hot night in the summer of 1838 in the Maison de Nohant.

Inveterate night owls, George Sand and her lover of the moment, Frédéric Chopin, stroll lazily in the gardens until the early morning. The air is saturated with the sumptuous perfume with the opulent trail of the novelist whose formula, extracted from the end of a small travel bottle entrusted by Christiane Sand to perfume historian Annick Le Guérant, is now recreated by the perfumer Dominique Ropion: an intoxicating scent of Turkish rose, damascena - the most noble, fragrant and luxurious, of earthy, woody, highly sensual patchouli, and of iris with woody powdery accents, powerful and refined.

Mantes la Jolie 100ml by Astier de Villatte
100ml Eau de Parfum
Hand Blown bottle made in France

On a hot summer’s day, take a morning stroll by the majestic collegiate and down the narrow historic streets of the town. From the market stalls wafts a delicious scent of freshly-picked aromatic herbs: mint and bergamot, with its distinctly lemony aroma, the crisp, green notes of eucalyptus leaves and fig mingled with the honeyed fragrance of spicy ginger, sun-drenched Arabian jasmine and herbaceous maté. The fresh, invigorating scent lingers on the skin for a long time.

Scent Profile - Mint, Basil, Bergamot, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Arabian Jasmine, Green Fig, Blackcurrant, Cedar oil, Maté.

About Astier de Villatte

Created in 1996, Astier de Villatte has many facets:

– An artisanal ceramics workshop in Paris, the only one of its kind, which takes up and modernises the tradition of Parisian manufacturers of the 18th century.

– A typographic printing press in the Paris suburbs, the last in France (and one of the last in the world) to print lead books.

– A publishing house, with three first publications, the atypical guide Ma Vie à Paris, the art book Drawings with the poly-talented artist Lou Doillon and now the new edition of Mitsou de Balthus.

– A perfume creation workshop where, in collaboration with exceptional noses, colognes, incense and a whole collection of scented candles on the theme of an olfactory world tour are invented.

In 2008, it was a novelty, a scented dishwashing liquid launched for fun at the store and sold in the thousands, which propelled them into the magical world of scented products. With their associate, Emilie, in collaboration with Françoise Caron, star perfumer at Takasago, a Japanese fragrance creation company, they launched their Eau de Cologne, their Hand Care and their first collection of scented candles on the delirious theme of a olfactory world tour. Over the years, the collection of scented candles and eau de cologne grew, thanks to the creativity of other highly talented perfumers, including Nathalie Feisthauer, Alexandra Monet and Christophe Raynaud.

Eager to extend the range of perfumes for the home, Benoît and Ivan leave for Awaji, the island of Japan specialised for hundreds of years in the manufacture of the best incense in the world. Thus begins a new adventure, combining the know-how of Awaji’s family workshops with that of the great Parisian perfumers.

More than collaborations, for Astier de Villatte it’s about stories of friendship and aesthetic affinities leading to the creation of a universe that wants to be unique in its kind.

Today about fifty workers, mostly Tibetans, work in the manufacture of ceramics and Astier de Villatte lamps, two people are employed by the printing works, and about fifteen people are divided between the two Parisian shops and the offices

These perfumes are the result of a meeting between Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, the creators of Astier de Villatte, Dominique Ropion, perfumer, and Annick Le Guérer, perfume historian, anthropologist and researcher. All of them driven by the same passion: to restore the prestige of three mythical and magnificent fragrances — Le Dieu bleu (Egyptian kyphi), Artaban (the Roman “royal perfume”), Les Nuits (the perfume of George Sand) — by reconstituting as closely as possible the formulas of the time according to the regulations of today’s perfumery.

Star perfumer at IFF, Dominique Ropion pulled out all the stops in the reconstitution of these three formulas, a perilous exercise considering their richness and complexity. His close collaboration of more than twenty years with Annick Le Guérer was the starting point of the project. The historian provided him with precise documents for the first two perfumes, right down to recipes and the proportions of each ingredient, as well as dregs from the bottom of a travel phial of George Sand’s perfume, entrusted by one of her descendants, Christiane Sand. Ingredients which no longer complied with and are prohibited by current perfumery standards had to be adapted or replaced with substitutes. State-of-the-art technology and innovation made this artistic and technical challenge possible.

These three fragrances were produced at the Atelier du Parfumeur in Grasse using 100% natural raw materials, essences and concretes, as well as new aromas

 

Tucson by Astier de Villatte
100ml Eau de Parfum
Olfactive Family - Floral | Amber (Oriental)

Tucson is a torrid desert of wild beauty, an impressive tide of deliriously shaped giant cacti, a fantastic rodeo. From the bottle escapes dizzying scents: the intoxicating fragrance of strawflowers from the maquis and sun-heated dunes, the aromatic and slightly animal notes of thyme; scents of red earth scorched with the heat of birch mingle with the delicious smell of sweet amber exhaled by the resin from the cistus labdanum, a shrub from Mediterranean countries.

Scent Profile - Cistus Labdanum (Rockrose), Earthy Notes, Everlasting Flower, Amber, Birch, Thyme

Designers of furniture and white ceramics Ivan Pericoli and Benoît founded their company Astier de Villatte in 1996 in association with friends and family.
