AVESTAN is Introducing a New Fragrance with a New Store
AVESTAN is a special perfume project that was launched by the late Brandon Truaxe and it functions in a unique way. The brand does not advertise nor does it sell any products online and until the recent expansion, there was only one untitled scent available at the store in London. Now, it makes its way to New York City with a new fragrance to join -- the store was set up in Nolita.
In the brand manifesto per say, Truaxe wrote before he passed, "I had often been told by masters of the field that aromas reconnect us with our past experiences," it reads. "[Avestan] is a journey to create new meaning through scents. It is a departure from lavender and rose to an unfulfilled journey of unfamiliar notes: clays, stems, saps, places and moments."
