    Recent excavations uncovered the perfectly preserved extract of a perfume produced in Pompeii almost a century BC. ānti resurrects this Damascus rose and olive oil accord and sheathes it in an ashy sillage that evokes the distant volcano still burning in the sunset sky.

    Blackcurrant bursts like dark wine spilled on marble floors, while cashmeran weaves silk veils through the ruins of villas. Olive oil and birch essence whisper of sacred groves and charred cedar—sparks of life preserved in stone and flame.

    "I built my perfume around the duality between rose's scent and the unprecedented accord of olive oil. I wanted to capture the fruity aroma with that hint of bitterness from olive oil, which pairs beautifully with this woody, smoky rose" - Sidonie Lancesseur
