ANTARES BY IN ASTRA

Antares channels the dynamic energy of the red supergiant star: it opens with the lively spark of pink peppercorn, the radiance of tuberose, and the golden glow of frangipani. It then descends into a warm base of amber and woods, from which an enveloping harmony emerges. Seductive and opulent, this fragrance is a true tribute to celestial power.

OLFACTORY PYRAMID

“ANTARES IS MY TRIBUTE TO THE BLAZING HEART OF THE SKY: A STAR OF FIRE AND MYSTERY, POWERFUL AND MAGNETIC. I SOUGHT TO TRANSLATE ITS ENERGY INTO AN INTENSE AND RADIANT COMPOSITION, ONE THAT PULSES ON THE SKIN LIKE A CELESTIAL HEARTBEAT.”

– Sofia Bardelli, Perfumer

Founders of In Astra Sofia Bardelli and Fabiola Bardelli

THE STORY BEHIND THE SCENT

Antares is a red supergiant star in the Scorpius constellation, visible during summer in the northern hemisphere. The scent pays homage to its grandeur: it is opulence in its purest form. Narcotic, carnal tuberose together with a soothing accord of frangipani bloom in the creaminess of sandalwood and an oriental ambery base.

“In Astra was born from a childhood sense of wonder; those moments spent gazing at the sky, filled with awe. I wanted to transform that feeling into something tangible and sensory. Through fragrance, I sought to embody the very essence of the stars.”

– Fabiola Bardelli, Creative Director In Astra

ABOUT THE BRAND

In Astra was founded in 2020 by perfumer Sofia Bardelli and creative director Fabiola Bardelli. The house draws inspiration from the poetic beauty of the universe, where stars evolve, dissolve, and are reborn in an eternal cycle mirrored through scent. Each fragrance is crafted from high-quality raw materials, forming evanescent compositions that balance fleeting emotion with timeless elegance, rooted in refined Italian design. This celestial vision extends to the flacon, with a sculptural cap inspired by the texture of a star and finished in 24-carat gold, set against a deep blue bottle that evokes the mystery of the night sky.
