Hailed for the incredible lavishness of its formula, no less than twenty-four herbs imported at great expense from the most distant lands, this "royal perfume" was the idol of the wealthy Romans. They enthusiastically soaked themselves with it at every opportunity, as was the fashion of the time. Reinterpreted by Dominique Ropion, Artaban is a pure concentrate of the wonders of the plant universe. Delight in its fragrant scents - bitter and sweet marjoram, cardamom with a spicy fruity taste, nard with earthy, resinous and woody accords, and green and herbaceous calamus with multiple fragrant facets.
A book comes with each box purchased. Printed on the Astier de Villatte typographic presses, it retraces the epic story of the three historic perfumes. Bilingual texts in French and English by Annick Le Guérant, Sophie Mazeaud and Lionel Paillès. An interview with the Astier de Villatte team and perfumer Dominique Ropion completes this book. Illustrated by the artist Eva Jospin.

Love it
I love fragrances from A&V house. They are well made and this is one has a herbal balsamic scent. I know there is no myrrh in there but I wanna believe I smell one of the facets of myrrh here and it is definitely unique fragrance to me. Quality of package, bottle and presentation is great too!
