Astrophil & Stella is an Italian house of artistic perfumery founded in 2019, an offshoot of Gida Profumi, a company with twenty years of experience in the field. Each creation is rooted in a unique foundational narrative: a cosmic love between Astrophil, a proud and visionary mortal, and Stella, an elusive deity descended from the firmament. This is not merely a decorative concept, but the axis around which the entire olfactory philosophy of the house revolves: perfume as a meeting point between earth and cosmos, between the tangible and the elusive. This story is contributed to by noses with very different training and sensibilities — among others, Cécile Zarokian, Luca Maffei, Bertrand Duchaufour, Julien Rasquinet, Mark Buxton — each interpreting a distinct chapter of the tale. The artisanal care extends to the bottle as well: the packaging is handmade in Turin, the glass is blown in Venetian style, and the caps are crafted from a precisely cast metal alloy. The chosen format is Extrait de Parfum, a concentration that ensures rich raw materials and a dense, intimate, and persistent projection.

The Astrophil & Stella selection on Papique

The twenty-five titles in the catalog cover a wide expressive spectrum: you will find spicy and resinous compositions alongside brighter and floral accords, deep oriental interpretations together with drier and more contemporary cuts. There is no single key to interpreting the brand: each fragrance is an autonomous episode of the cosmic saga, designed for a specific character. To navigate, it is helpful to follow the dominant notes indicated in the description and, if possible, proceed with samples before choosing the Extrait.

We invite you to explore the complete collection: each bottle holds a different voice in this dialogue between the human and the celestial. Let your sense of smell guide you to your chapter.
