Astier de Villatte Trois Parfums Historiques Discovery Set

A return to three vanished worlds of perfumery.
Astier de Villatte’s Three Historique Perfumes Discovery Set gathers the maison’s most mythic creations — three fragrances lost for centuries and resurrected with extraordinary fidelity. Housed in a luminous golden box, each 10 ml perfume is paired with a beautifully printed book that recounts the epic rediscovery of these ancient formulas. Revived by historian Annick Le Guérant and master perfumer Dominique Ropion, the trio offers an olfactory journey through Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and 19th-century France, crafted in Grasse with the finest materials.

Le Dieu Bleu — 1600 B.C.
A divine, otherworldly scent of woody honeyed broom, mystical myrrh, fresh green lentisk, and opoponax — transporting you to the vibrant temples and painted frescoes of Ancient Egypt.

Artaban — The Royal Perfume
A lush botanical symphony: bittersweet marjoram, spicy-fruity cardamom, resinous nard, and herbaceous calamus. A pure, vegetal homage to the grandeur of Ancient Rome.

Les Nuits — 1838
The opulent perfume of George Sand’s nocturnal salons: Turkish and Damask rose, sensual patchouli, and powdery iris — romantic, literary, and irresistibly refined.

The accompanying book, printed on Astier de Villatte’s historic typographic presses and illustrated by Eva Jospin, offers essays, archival insight, and an interview with Dominique Ropion — a collector’s treasure that enriches the sensory experience.
