About
Ava Gardner met the perfumer and owner of Le Galion, Paul Vacher in the 1950s. She asked him to compose a tailor-made fragrance just for her. The perfumer, valuing distinction and femininity, obliged and created L'Astre. In 2023, Le Galion launched 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 offered access to their archives, L'Astre is an elixir of opulence that sweeps away inhibitions and abolishes hesitations. A perfume that seeks, and certainly finds, the most complete attention.
