French ceramics brand Astier de Villatte has relaunched four fragrances (Eau Chic, Eau Fugace, Eau de Cologne and Cologne 1871) and will introduce three more — Splash Orange Amère, Grand Chalet and Elixir du Dr. Flair.
Splash Orange Amère ~ "Signed by [perfumer] Christophe Raynaud, this fresh whirlwind brings an overload of Brazil bitter orange, the leaves and branches of the Calabrian bergamot tree, noble and precious ingredients from the world of fragrances. As time goes by, this ultra-modern Cologne becomes increasingly addictive. It develops elegant hints of cedar wood, oak moss mixed with the hot flavours of a few spicy notes."
Grand Chalet ~ "An enchanting smell escapes the bottle and suddenly fills the air: it is the age-old linden that shades the garden of painter Balthus’s atelier, at Grand Chalet, high up in the Swiss alps. A tribute to the artist and his favourite scent, bask in this Cologne’s delightful redolence of honey, milk and slight hints of lemon. And in the end, a slight trail of blond wood and vanilla remains."
Elixir du Dr. Flair ~ "An incredible, euphoric scent of wild plants and medicinal herbs. A concentrate of the warm aromatic emanations of woods, the spicy smell of clove and wormwood, the fresh notes of lavender and petit grain, the formula for this elixir is inspired by a very ancient and invigorating recipe. Its herbal trail is long-lasting."
Astier de Villatte Splash, Grand Chalet and Elixir du Dr. Flair will be available in 50, 150 and 900 ml; some sizes are now available at Aedes.

Balthus?!?
Oh dear.
At least it’s his linden tree.
Yeah, nothing like an allusion to traumatically sexualized children to make me want to buy perfume.
I agree. Celebrating such an artist is a huge turnoff. Very disturbing.
Must try Grand Chalet since linden is one of those notes that always piques my interest
Me too.
I wish this line was not impossible to find. I like the one I have (Eau Chic) very much, as did Kevin.
Last line says they are now available at Aedes which is in NY so it sounds a bit more accessible
Hmmm – now seeing that Aedes has a sample service, so this is a big step forward! 🙂
I have heard positive things about Grand Chalet.
Oh good!
I believe Denyse featured it on her spring list actually, but when I went to the site, they only listed that particular one as a candle. Now delighted to find we can actually wear it!
