Description
The Alabaster is a novel mode of fragrance diffusion, heat-less and steam-less, imbued with great perfuming power. Its name derives from the Greek vases that were once used to preserve the fragrant oils necessary for body care – the earliest perfumes –, whose porous terra cotta would hold in the exquisite emanations.
The Alabaster is made up of a painted porcelain box, and of a frugally carved piece of exceptionally porous sedimentary stone, whose structure is extremely finely honeycombed. The impressive absorption coefficient of this layered mineral makes it the best and simplest of containers.
The upshot: cupboards, wardrobes, bathrooms, cars as well as rooms medium and small are perfumed with l’Officine’s scents.
What to do next? Attempt to find the secret gateway to Narnia in the back of a large wardrobe. Read peacefully, to the sound of one of Chopin’s Études. Feel inspired again. Lose yourself in the immensity of your imagination.

Scents
Sacre : the scent of coronations, a Gloria of juniper and honey, in the glare of stained-glass windows shot through with a bolt of winter sun. The golden threads in the wall-hangings spatter the ceremony of columns and vaults, the pious silence of ivory statues. In the damp nave, misty with frankincense and cold, the fragrance of olibanum and cedarwood cajoles the soul.
Head notes: Aldehyde, Juniper, Pine
Heart notes: Incense
Bottom notes: Cedar, Honey

How to use
Pour 1/3 of the perfume concentrate onto the stone.
The fragrant formulation naturally releases its aromas when the pretty box of white and blue porcelain remains open. The Alabaster will efficiently and lastingly fill rooms medium and small with fragrance.
Nota bene: pour the perfume concentrate with caution. Should it come in contact with your hands, rinse abundantly!

I was recommended this by a member of staff and was immediately drawn to the smell. It is beautifully woody, slightly smoky and lingers teasingly at the back of my throat. The balance of scent is commendable. My perfumes are typically gourmand and I don't normally sway towards woodier scents but this is so gorgeous, I got a back-up refill together with the original set! Definitely one to love for a long time and very different from other offerings on the market. If only there were a perfume version of this!Recommended to buy: Yes
