Vanant

$ 215

A celestial voyage into darkness, with top notes of black currant, a heart of black carnation and black rose, and a base of birch tar, opoponax, and myrrh — crafted by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour.

Vanant by In Astra is a celestial voyage into the heart of Aquila, where the sky bends to the silence of eternity along the mythical Silver River. Named for the lost star that once guided Persian astronomers, this fragrance emerges like a secret whispered by ancient constellations — hidden among currents of light and shadow. It opens with the deep, vibrant energy of black currant, a dark fruitiness that pulls you into cosmic depths. The heart unfolds as an enigmatic floral darkness: black carnation and black rose bloom in velvety obscurity, their crepuscular intensity radiating an inner light that guides the soul through silent cosmic flows. The drydown reveals sacred mystery — resinous myrrh intertwines with smoky birch tar and opoponax, creating an incense-like trail that feels both primordial and transcendent. Crafted by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour around the concept of 'a black carnation, deep, velvety, radiating an inner light,' Vanant is more than a fragrance — it is the suspended memory of a vanished star, an inner journey made olfactory, where darkness becomes illumination and silence speaks in effluvia of distant times.
