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
Steam rising from marble sluiced with waves of heated water, dampened muslin wraps the shining limbs, delicately soaped; susurrations of the hammam. After bathing, resting on fresh sheets, the skin, still beaded with moisture, is chafed with lavender and orange blossom; now refreshed, its velvety pallor like an iris petal pearled by a mist of incense and musk.

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!
