Le Galion Lastre EDP 100ml

A large, exuberant, well-endowed and magnetic floral. Its catchphrase is made of aphrodisiac spices to symbolize the burning gaze and maddening beauty of Ava Gardner. Then white flowers explode: jasmine, ylang-ylang, tuberose, orange blossom, lingering in the roundness and warmth of amber. An elixir of opulence that sweeps away inhibitions and abolishes hesitations. A perfume that seeks - and certainly finds - the most complete attention.

In the 1950's, Ava Gardner met the perfumer and owner of Le Galion, Paul Vacher, who - understandably dazzled - asked her to become the ambassador and the face of Sortilège, a classic Le Galion fragrance. After its incredible success in the USA, the actress asked Paul Vacher to compose a tailor-made fragrance just for her. The perfumer, valuing distinction and femininity, obliged and the personal Ava Gardner perfume would become L'Astre, several decades later. In 2023, Le Galion launched 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.
