The Alabaster is a novel mode of fragrance diffusion, heat-less and steam-less, imbued with great perfuming power. Its name derives from the Greek vases that were once used to preserve the fragrant oils necessary for body care – the earliest perfumes –, whose porous terra cotta would hold in the exquisite emanations.

The Alabaster is made up of a painted porcelain box, and of a frugally carved piece of exceptionally porous sedimentary stone, whose structure is extremely finely honeycombed. The impressive absorption coefficient of this layered mineral makes it the best and simplest of containers.

SIGNATURE SCENT

• Campagne d’Italie : Hints of leather, bark, earth, pine needles and summer-roasted leaves. The plains, white with sun and crisscrossed by scout honey bees, make for a blinding wait. In the warm shade of the woods, amid the thick silence of the oaks and cedars, the clatter of horses being harnessed, the impatience of restless hoofs, the glare of rifles before the charge.
• Head notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot
• Heart notes: Nutmeg, Patchouli, Oak
• Bottom notes: Cedar, Tonka, Sandalwood, Vanilla
