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
Sumi Hinoki: frankincense and the dark fire of sacred Hinoki wood under the summer rains of Shôno. The noble fragrance of flame-charred temples, lacquered black with smoke, of cypress chests in which silks, swords and calligraphy scrolls slumber. In the green steam of cedar and camphorwood baths, near Tokaido’s Torii, images of the floating world anchor the rumble of the torrent and the flight of the autumn leaf.
Head notes: Cypress essence, Juniper berry essence
Heart Notes: Hinioki burnt wood
Bottom notes: Cedar essence, Incense essence

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!
