Bast

A bold interpretation of humanity's first documented perfume, the ancient Egyptian 'ânti'. Worn by the pharaohs' favorites in sacred ceremonies in desert sands, anti's first and eponymous fragrance is a protective blend of frankincense and myrrh morphed into a feline formula with a mystical edge. Frankincense essence opens with smoky, sacred warmth, its resinous character immediately transporting to temple incense and ritual fire. Cardamom arrives with spiced intensity, adding a subtle heat and complexity that prevents the composition from becoming purely ceremonial or distant.

Greek saffron blooms at the heart, its golden spice adding nobility and depth to the composition. Incense absolute and cypriol create a mystical, almost animalic quality that honors the fragrance's feline inspiration. This is where the ancient and the mysterious converge, where earthly and divine become inseparable. Myrrh essence and amber settle into the base, creating a protective foundation of warmth and earthiness. Reinvented by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, Bast captures the essence of the goddess herself, the protector, the fierce and feminine force that guards what matters most. A fragrance for those who understand that ancient wisdom still holds power.
