Description
Pliny the Elder considered these perfumes to be incredibly miraculous. They contained only 24 ingredients - exclusively the best and most luxurious, such as serichatum, costus, cassia, styrax, imported at great cost from distant countries. Called "royal perfumes" because they were created for the kings of Parthia, they gained immense popularity among wealthy Romans. They could not get enough of them, literally bathing in them, in accordance with the fashion of the time.
In Dominique Ropion's interpretation, Artaban is a pure, natural and almost divine concentrate of plant wonders of the world. We are delighted by its intoxicating scents: sweet and bitter marjoram, whose green, rounded leaves emit a delicious aroma, cardamom with a fresh, spicy taste of anise, which is like a refreshing gust of wind, cistus labdanum, whose white flowers in scarlet dots were called "tears of Christ", sweet, vanilla amber, smelling like incense, and finally warm cinnamon, the oldest known spice.

About the brand Astier de Villatte
Brand with a crafty touch. Its founders, Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, produce ceramics using traditional 19th century methods - making each piece timeless and unique. But ceramics are not the end! In 2008, the pair invited renowned "noses": Emilie Mazeaud and Françoise Carona (a star from the Japanese perfume house Takasago) to collaborate. This resulted in a line of colognes, incense, and scented candles. The candles deserve special recognition - each wick (made of pure cotton) is tailored to the specific composition, while the glass vessels, decorated with small air bubbles, are made in an old-fashioned workshop in Tuscany. The labels and cardboard packaging are printed by one of the last typesetters in France - Monsieur Huin.
More about Les Parfums Historiques
Le Dieu Bleu, Artaban, Les Nuits - these perfumes are the result of a meeting of the creators of Astier de Villate: Ivan Pericolego and Benoît Astier de Villatte, Dominique Ropion, a perfumer, and Annick Le Guérer, a perfume historian, anthropologist, and researcher.
Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte are enthusiasts of impossible tasks - they like to revive neglected, destroyed items that have become obsolete. Therefore, they had no doubt that it was worth going on such an adventure. They have already created perfumes and scented candles with their collaborator Emilie Mazeaud, and now they decided to resurrect three forgotten scents, using the research of Annick Le Guérer and the talent of Dominique Ropion.
The starting point was Ropion's collaboration with Annick Le Guérer, which has been going on for over 20 years now. The historian provided the famous nose with precise documentation regarding the first two scents - formulas with the proportions of all ingredients - as well as remnants of perfumes from a traveling vial owned by one of the writer's descendants, Christiane Sand.
