Stone pine from the Alps, worn as perfume
ARVE is a small family perfume house from the Salzburg region of Austria. The family already made ZirbenLüfter products, built around stone pine and clean indoor air, and announced its first ARVE eau de parfum on its blog Inastil in February 2021, with shipping planned for that April. Regina writes the blog, and her son Fabian handles the photography and design.
The scents were composed with Andreas Wilhelm, a perfumer from Zurich, and are based on pure stone pine oil from Austria. The house avoids ingredients of animal origin. The base and cap of each bottle are made of untreated stone pine wood from Austria, cut in a joinery in Salzburg.
It has no shop of its own in Salzburg city. Its office shop at Bayernstrasse 12 in Oberalm, south of the city, holds exhibitions and sales for visitors who register first, and the scents are also sold online. A 50 ml bottle costs €155 and a 15 ml bottle €65. Try ARVE Chaleureux first: it keeps the stone pine, lavender, cinnamon and fig leaf that the family described for its first ARVE scent in 2021.
- ARVE ChaleureuxThe calm of high, untouched mountains at first light: stone pine oil with cinnamon bark, lavender, nutmeg and fig leaf.
- ARVE PétillantItalian lemon and the tart scent of stone pine, softened by rose and iris over vetiver, musk and guaiac wood.
