Artaban | Le Parfums Historique Collection - Eau de Parfum
A fragrance born of royal legend, Artaban revives the sumptuous “royal perfume” once celebrated by Pliny the Elder and adored by Parthian kings and Roman elites. Reinterpreted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, this historic formula is transformed into a powerful, telluric composition that captures the untamed richness of the plant world.
The scent opens with the aromatic brightness of marjoram and the cool, spiced freshness of cardamom, like a gust of wind across ancient trade routes. At its heart, resinous cistus labdanum and warm cinnamon unfold into a deep, ambery warmth touched by incense and vanilla. Rich, complex and quietly commanding, Artaban carries the aura of antiquity, evoking spice caravans, sacred resins and the opulence of ancient courts.
Part of the Parfums Historiques collection, Artaban reflects a rare collaboration between perfumer Dominique Ropion and historian Annick Le Guérer, recreating legendary fragrances with modern precision while honoring their ancient origins.
OLFACTIVE NOTES
Marjoram, Cardamom, Cistus Labdanum, Cinnamon, Amber, Incense, Vanilla, Aromatic Spices
ABOUT THE BRAND
Designers of furniture and white ceramics Ivan Pericoli and Benoît founded their company, Astier de Villatte, in 1996 in association with friends and family. Successor to the parisian manufactures of the 18th century, satire de village is now the only major studio to keep the tradition of artisanal ceramic production in Paris alive. In 2000, they opened the boutique at 173 rue Saint Honoré, which also presented their other creations for the home: titanium cutlery, borosilicate glassware and above all the wonderful collection of traditionally printed notebooks.
In 2008 they decided to join forces with a big name from the perfume world and together begin creating luxury scented goods. Working with their associates Emilie Massed and Françoise Caron, the star pefumer at Takasago (a Japanese fragrance company) Astier de Villatte's range of scented products was born.
