bast

Eau de Parfum

« I created my perfume around incense in overdose: both the essence and the absolute. I pushed the fresh, slightly spicy facet of incense essence by pairing it with cardamom and saffron. And to reinforce the amber, warm and resinous character of incense absolute, I added cypriol at the heart of myrrh essence, and an amber accord. »

bast by ānti, eau de parfum

The story of bast

Inspired by "kyphi," considered humanity's first documented perfume,Basttransports us to ancient Egypt, to the heart of sacred rituals reserved for pharaohs and their court. This fragrance pays homage to these mysterious ceremonies where swirls of incense rose to the gods under the scorching desert sun.

The opening reveals a majestic duo of frankincense and cardamom. Frankincense brings a mineral and spiritual freshness, while cardamom infuses an aromatic and spicy vibration. At its heart, Greek saffron, frankincense absolute, and cypriol develop a smoky and resinous warmth, reminiscent of ancient temple fumigations.

In the base, myrrh and amber prolong this sense of mystery with an enveloping, almost sacred depth. The result is a woody oriental perfume that is both powerful, elegant, and meditative, where precious resins seem to converse with the millennial stones of Egyptian sanctuaries.

At once solar, smoky, and spiritual,Bastis an invitation to journey back in time to the very origins of perfume.
