Auster

Auster by John Stephen

"An invigorating scent that captures the essence of a Mediterranean breeze."

Timeless, invigorating, vibrant

Auster opens with the bright warmth of a Mediterranean lemon grove in late summer. Sweet geraniums are scattered amongst the waxy, ripening lemon trees. The herbal quality of the geranium mixes with the brightness of the citrus to give a classic and clean opening. This is delicately spiced with star anise and cloves to bring a unique twist to the composition which is bright and fresh.

As the fragrance unfolds, the bright skies transform and we are treated to a fresh, slightly earthy base of patchouli and cedar. Ambergris brings a touch of saltiness to the composition and evokes a warm wind blowing off the ocean. Musks and sandalwood round and smooth the composition which is timeless and classic - a scent for all occasions and genders.

Auster is the god of the south winds and the inspiration behind this fragrance. The embodiment of the hot, Sirocco winds, Auster brings powerful weather from Africa into Southern Europe. The fragrance expresses that sense of warm, breezy Mediterranean weather as well as the quiet power and confidence of the god who brings it.
