In Astra Wega by Olya Bar
Founded in 2020 by Sofia Bardelli, the nose behind the collection, and her sister Fabiola, the creative director, In Astra is a niche perfume house that pays homage to the poetic beauty of the cosmos and the stars that grace our skies each night. Their fragrances masterfully blend the fleeting and the eternal, capturing the transient nature of olfactory notes that evolve into ethereal accords while reflecting the timeless journey of stars—exploding, reviving, and continuing their eternal cycle. I slowly savored each of the fragrances to fully immerse myself in the brand and I’m absolutely loving the collection so far.

“Wega is a floral gourmand fragrance. Rose’s grace and sophistication, together with fresh and fruity nuances of Sakura blossoms, are engulfed in a sugary cloud of marshmallow: a pure delight of vanilla from Madagascar and tonka bean found in the precious drydown. – Sofia Bardelli.

Like a celestial goddess, In Astra Wega drifts through the sky in a shimmering sugar cloud of marshmallows, with delicate Sakura blossoms strewn along her path like micro stars. This fragrance evokes that magical moment when the sky blushes in bright pinks and fuchsias as the sun sinks below the horizon, igniting the heavens in a vibrant display. It’s a beautifully crafted floral gourmand that wraps you in its cosmic embrace.

The heart of Wega is where ravishing rose petals, with their indulgent scent, invite your senses to a feast. Notes of vanilla and tonka bean create a warm, nutty concoction, a deep plunge into the pleasures of all things sweet. Imagine, if you will, the most exquisite dessert—an imaginative creation that feels like the work of the imaginative heavenly beings. Dream up sakura petals and roses transformed into a confection, soaked in the tartest raspberry jam and crowned with marshmallow clouds that float in a pink sky. The marshmallow’s airy sweetness and the tart brightness of the raspberry create a quintessential contrast, much like the interplay of dusk and twilight in the sky. As the scents develop on the skin, the vetiver keeps it from getting too sweet and adds a slight tanginess to the structure, while the vanilla and tonka working in tandem add its notorious warmth. For those who dream with their senses, In Astra Wega is a fragrance that you’ll find yourself returning to, just as a gourmand might savor every last bite of an unforgettable dessert.
Notes: Japanese Cherry Blossom, Raspberry, Rose, Marshmallow, Tonka Bean, Madagascar Vanilla, Haitian Vetiver.
