Our Story

In Astra is a niche perfume house, which was founded in 2020 by Sofia Bardelli, nose, and her sister Fabiola, creative director. In Astra pays tribute to the poetical beauty of the universe and the stars that appear every night in the sky.
In Astra fragrances form a perfect union of ephemerality and the eternal beauty of stars.
As olfactory notes alternate into unique, evanescent accords creating worlds of different feelings, stars follow their path of evolution to explode and revive from the dust in an ever-eternal loop.

An exclusive collection of fragrances is the result of a distinctive olfactory interpretation; fragrances that are composed of carefully selected high-quality raw materials and that encompass the essential elegance of Italian design.

Sofia Bardelli, nose di In Astra

“In Astra is to look at the sky from a different perspective, listening to the stories stars have been telling us”

Having always been passionate about perfumes from an early age, she shapes her education to pursue her dream. She moves to Grasse, best known as the world capital of perfume on the French Riviera, to attend the Grasse Institute of Perfumery. Grasse and its scents have taught her to love the best quality raw materials, which inspire her creativity and are recognisable in her olfactory signature.

Fabiola Bardelli, creative director

“In Astra is to embark on a journey to reveal
the essence of the stars”

After living and working abroad for several years, she returned to Italy to start an olfactory project, together with her sister, which would encompass her greatest passions: perfumes, traveling and stars.

The opulence of tuberose and frangipani bursts with a fresh accent of pink pepper and a sumptuous amber accord.

A charismatic accord of coffee and oakmoss demystifies the illusion of powdery iris at heart.

The deep aroma of cypress and the clear sparkle of juniper envelop the soothing scent of frankincense.

An abstract scintillation of aldehydes lights up the fragrant freshness of yuzu and pink grapefruit, giving way to a floral, glowing iridescence of lavender and peony. Tistar’s brightness lingers on: an explosion of luminous musks blazed by earthy scents of cade and balsam fir.
