bast · Eau de Parfum

Discover Bast, the eponymous creation of the house of ānti. This eau de parfum reinterprets the “ānti”, the very first documented perfume in history — a sacred preparation of ancient Egypt reserved for the pharaohs' inner circle and burned during ritual ceremonies.

A resinous, mystical sillage

Reinvented by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, Bast opens on the lightly spicy freshness of olibanum essence and cardamom. The heart burns with an almost ritual intensity, led by Greek saffron, incense absolute and cypriol. In the base, myrrh essence and amber set a resinous, protective warmth, guardians of a contemporary incantation.

Expert tip

Bast is a unisex eau de parfum with bold character, ideal in the evening and the cold season, for those who love warm, enveloping incense sillages.

I created my perfume around incense in overdose: both the essence and the absolute. I pushed the fresh, slightly spicy facet of incense essence by pairing it with cardamom and saffron. And to reinforce the amber, warm and resinous character of incense absolute, I added cypriol at the heart of myrrh essence, and an amber accord.

ānti is a Parisian niche perfume house that draws its inspiration from the origins of perfumery — ancient incenses, Renaissance rituals and forgotten olfactory architectures. Its genderless creations connect past and present with depth, storytelling and resonance.
