In Astra

INTERPRETING THE MARvELLOUS UNIvERSE OF THE STARS

Two sisters, Sofia and Fabiola Bardelli, are behind the young brand In Astra, founded in 2020, driven by their intuition and passions. The two sisters (Sofia is a perfumeur and Fabiola an artistic director) launched their first line of niche fragrances, during the Covid-19 lockdown, with the wish of bringing light, hope and a desire for rebirth. Their passions for perfumery and astronomy underlie an artistic project which aims to create a parallelism between the stars and fragrance. Just as stars change gradually in the course of their lifetimes, fragrances also reveal themselves gradually, thanks to their different notes.

THE RANGE

IN ASTRA proposes four fragrances, each dedicated to a star. The most representative olfactory notes of each star are chosen, capable of telling an exciting and moving story. The products are 100% made in Italy using raw materials of excellence.

Betelgeuse… an eclectic and genderless fragrance

Betelgeuse is inspired by the second brightest star in Orion’s Constellation. A poudré heart is given by an intriguing note of iris together with a fruity osmanthus capable of immediately capturing the senses. The elegant bottle has a golden cap which reproduces the surface of a star, perfectly representing the concept of the brand.

A BRAND OF ARTISTIC PERFUMERY THAT COMBINES TWO PASSIONS: FOR FRAGRANCE AND FOR ASTRONOMY

Antares… the expectation of culmination

Engulfed in a narcotic aroma, the opulence of white flowers with a fresh accent of pink pepper leads the way to bloom into a powerful amber and woody accord.

Mismar… at the centre of the firmament

An overwhelming fragrance of woody, earthy smells transport us towards the scents of juniper and ginger intertwined with deep aromas of conifers, to accentuate an amber facet, liberating a soothing addiction to frankincense.

Tistar… the brightest of stars

Aldehydes light up the fragrant freshness of yuzu and pink grapefruit, giving way to a floral glowing iridescence of lavender and peony. The fragrance lingers on in an explosion of musks scorched by earthy scents of cade and fir blossom.

All the fragrances come as 50ml Eau de Parfums. A discovery set containing the four fragrances in a 2 ml phial is available to explore this marvellous universe of fragrance inspired by the mysterious elements of the heavens.
