Ānti Parfum

Perfume but make it archaeological magical realism? Oh yes.

I can’t express how deeply obsessed I am with this brand. Named after the first recorded perfume in ancient Egypt, ānti’s line “walks through time” pulling scent inspiration from 2000 BC Egypt to a martini at London’s famed Duke’s bar in 1957.

Smart and GOOD. Just how I like it.

Kinda impossible to pick a fave, but this one spoke to my soul:

~Le Jardinier~

Year: 1772 AC

Notes: grass, lily stems, magnolia, honeysuckle buds, nettle

Inspired by Marie Antoinette’s garden in Versailles the morning after a (probably debaucherous) party with her hot side piece. It’s green and mellow but light and captures the way morning dew heightens the scent of a garden.
