A first in the perfumed world of Astier de Villatte and in the world of perfumes in general: The three historic scents, Le Dieu Bleu, Artaban and Les Nuits, are sold in a precious gold box bound by a wraparound band to a book of the same dimensions, which contains the story of their incredible journey since 4000 BC. 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.
The book, lead-printed in the typographic workshops of the house, is bilingual and illustrated by artist Eva Jospin. An unparalleled journey through the ages, captured in one luxurious set.
