IN ASTRA is an Italian artistic perfumery Maison born in 2020
thanks to the intuition and great passion of two sisters, Sofia and Fabiola Bardelli.

Nose the former and art director the latter, these two young female entrepreneurs launched their first niche fragrance line during the lockdown, with the desire to bring light, hope and a desire for rebirth to a dark time filled with uncertainty.

IN ASTRA was born from the union of two great passions that have accompanied the two founders from an early age: that for the art of perfumery and that for astronomy, the universe and its secrets all to be discovered.

Great dedication and a deep knowledge of the two fields are the basis of an artistic project that aims to create a parallelism between stars and perfume: both present even without being visible and both seemingly stationary, but constantly evolving. Just as the stars gradually change over the course of their lives, perfumes also gradually reveal themselves over time through top, middle, and base notes.

IN ASTRA offers four fragrances, each dedicated to a star. Through an artistic interpretation of the main characteristics of each star, the most representative olfactory notes that can tell an exciting story are chosen. The Maison is strictly Italian and aims for excellence in the choice of raw materials, all of which are selected and of the highest quality.

The bottle has been carefully designed: elegant and designer, it is embellished with a gold-colored cap that reproduces the surface of a star and perfectly represents the concept of the Italian Maison, which interprets, with passion, the journey through the mysteries of the universe: exciting, courageous and seductive.

“…and so we went out to see the stars again” – Dante Alighieri
