ānti perfumes: fragrance as a time machine. rosa antiqua, nashi toro, paura dell'acqua — to smell and to buy at Soleil d'Or, in Lille or online. The house unearths the forgotten smells of antiquity and recomposes them: an archaeological revelation in a bottle, where each trail reopens a memory the history books never kept.
ānti begins from a simple, vertiginous intuition: fragrance is humanity's first time machine. The house unearths the forgotten smells of antiquity — those whispers that once danced between the halls of time, carrying secrets too precious for history books to preserve — and recomposes them as contemporary fragrances.
The signature fragrances of the house
rosa antiqua revives the rose of ancient gardens. nashi toro and paura dell'acqua carry the exploration further, alongside bast, antinoüs and dukes carpet — each bottle reopening a lost memory.
Who is ānti for, and when to wear it?
ānti speaks to the curious, to those who look for a story in a perfume as much as a trail. The house is unisex. Its creations move across the floral, woody and amber families, and are worn in any season.
How to choose your ānti perfume?
Hesitating between rosa antiqua and nashi toro is normal: niche perfumery is an intimate matter. Our custom discovery box — five 2 mL samples hand-prepared from our catalogue — lets you compare at home.
ānti at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953
Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a niche perfumery reference; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold that standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). Looking for where to find ānti perfumes? Our team lets you try them on skin, with expert advice and guided trials.

Frequently asked questions about ānti perfumes
Are ānti perfumes unisex?
Yes, every ānti eau de parfum is unisex. Built around a historical narrative rather than a gender, they step outside the codes of traditional perfumery: the ancient rose of rosa antiqua and the woody trail of dukes carpet are worn by anyone.
What makes the ānti house unique?
ānti recomposes the forgotten fragrances of history. Its name is that of the very first perfume known to the world, a sacred Egyptian preparation of myrrh and incense that bound the living to the afterlife. Founded by Brieuc and Larissa, the house works alongside master perfumers and claims a new category, olfactory archaeology: every creation combines historical research with modern formulation, from rosa antiqua to antinoüs.
What size are ānti perfumes?
ānti eaux de parfum come in a 100 ml bottle, a large format suited to niche perfumery, from nashi toro to le jardinier. To try before opening a full bottle, our custom discovery box brings together five 2 mL samples hand-prepared from our catalogue.
Are the perfumes sold authentic?
Yes, every ānti perfume sold by Soleil d'Or is authentic and new, from the house's official juices. An independent perfumery since 1953, we stock only genuine eaux de parfum and ship every order in protective packaging. You can also try them on skin at 22 rue de la Clef in Lille.
