French ceramics brand Astier de Villatte has launched Ambre Liquide, a new fragrance.
Drawn straight from the fantastical Middle Ages and the legendary pomander – that perfume-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.
Astier de Villatte Ambre Liquide can be found now at Aedes, in 10 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (A 30 ml size is also in production.)

That’s a really interesting inspiration for a perfume.
Yes.
Want this.
yep, me too.
Me three, probably.
The 10ml EDP is listed for $66.00 on the Astiers website. Adorable little bottle with Old Apothecary type label. I would be tempted to blind buy this, except the travel trailer service team absorbed all my spare cash yesterday and my credit union checking account is gasping. If anyone gets this do tell. It sounds so perfect for the times. We all need a little extra protection where-ever we can find it.
