L' ASTRE

AVA, INCENDIARY STAR

AVA GARDNER FOR LE GALION

Ambassador and face of Sortilèg during the 1950s, Ava Gardner asked Le Galion to compose a tailor-made fragrance just for her. The perfumer, valuing distinction and femininity, obliged and the custom Ava Gardner perfume would become L'Astre.

In 2022, Le Galion is now launching L'Astre, a contemporary rewrite of a formula that has remained private for decades. Working in collaboration with the Estate of Ava Gardner and her heirs who offer access to their archives, L'Astre captures and symbolizes the brilliance ofthese two great names of the 20th century, both of whose influence continues today.

ASPIRATION AND FULFILMENT
THE NEW LE GALION FRAGRANCE
Ferveur is a devilishly sensual fragrance. As imposing as a cathedral, but as hedonistic as an evening at the Palace night club in Paris. An incredibly ambitious fragrance, Ferveur appeals both to the mind and senses, hoping for one thing only: fulfilment.

“I imagined Ferveur as an amber monument, imbued with tears of incense. A generous bouquet of aromatics mixed with flowers and spices is thrown into the burning balsam, leather and wood. I wanted to design an openly sensual fragrance, a fragrance that takes possession of those who wear it and becomes part of their soul and body. The perfume is the person.”

EAU NOBLE

In the early 70s, the world was changing, counter- culture was celebrated, perfume became more accessible. A breath of fresh air swept over France and into perfumery. Traditional formality made way for youthful energy, while outdated bourgeois ideas were overthrown by young students hungering for freedom.
Eau Noble embraces these two mindsets. The name itself showcases a prestigious heritage while the unisex fragrance heralds a bright future. A bold legacy.

“When revisiting Eau Noble, I wanted to capture the energy and burst of life that truly defined the early 70s. The modern woody notes echo movement, a drive forwards. Then comes an electric, fluorescent and ‘Technicolor’ strawberry and rhubarb accord. Patchouli, cedar and cypress offer depth and elegance, while the combination of resins adequately evoke the sensuality of the time.”

SORTILÈGE

"The fragrances of LE GALION are passionate fragrances, both fiery and subtle, they create a trail of admirers behind those who wear them."
L'Officiel de la Mode, 1956

DESTRUCTIVE FLORAL, THE ICON
A concentrate of sophistication, expressed in an astonishing floral bouquet.

“No single note overpowers this majestic bouquet, which features over 80 essences. It is rich, and proudly so since 1936.”

FLORAL NECTAR.
If women are flowers, then their nectar is this perfume. In the garden of Le Galion’s private hotel in Neuilly, there grew a silver linden tree. In June, the breeze carried innocent-seeming aromas towards Paul Vacher. He created this fragrance as a tribute to this typically Parisian tree, and as a venture into a less well-trodden path in floral scents.

“We often think of white flowers when we talk about floral sensuality. But here, that role is filled wonderfully by the linden tree, with its accents of honey and musk. A clear construction, surprisingly modern in that it does not beat around the bush.”

CHYPRE

BEWITCHING CONTRAST
Opposites attract, as expressed by a proper and classic chypre.
Chypre is one of the rare formulas to date back to Le Galion’s foundation by Prince Murat in 1930. In 2020, Jean-Christophe Hérault gave this fragrance a modern look by composing this wardrobe essential, full of movement and life.

“In this fragrance, I used very contemporary raw materials such as the fresh and clean rose oxide, but also olfactory markers that pay tribute to 20th century perfumery, such as the famous and incredibly sensual Animalis base. To me, this sums up everything that makes the chypre style relevant, as a true classic to be interpreted - and worn! – forever.”
Jean-Christophe Hérault
