Ava met the perfumer and owner of Le Galion, Paul Vacher who, dazzled by her, asked Avato become an ambassador for and the face of Sortilège, a perfume tribute to extravagantparties and the signature scent of 1950s high society. After its incredible success, Ava askedLe Galion to compose a tailor-made fragrance just for her. The perfumer, valuing distinctionand femininity, obliged and the custom Ava Gardner perfume would become L’Astre. In 2022, Le Galion is now launching L’Astre, a contemporary rewrite of a formula that has remained private for decades. Working in collaboration with the Estate of Ava Gardner and her heirs who offer access to their archives, L’Astre captures and symbolizes the brilliance ofthese two great names of the 20th century, both of whose influence continues today.“An elixir of opulence that sweeps away inhibitions and abolishes hesitations. A perfume that seeks – and certainly finds – the most complete attention.

” The Ava Gardner Trust is happy to release L’Astre, Incendiary Star, in collaboration with the world renowned House of LeGalion. This release crystallizes the timeless and continuing relationship between Ava and LeGalion in a remarkable way. Reminiscent of the opulent fragrances of the Golden Age of Hollywood, this contemporary reformulation is a perfume Ava would wear; distinctive, warm, and inviting. It reminds me of the fragrances I remember Ava wearing. It is authentic Ava Gardner! ” _ Ava Thompson, Trustee
