Liz Astor is our kinda gal. She grew up enjoying trips to her grandparents in Norfolk – an outdoorsy life of meadows, beautiful trees, trips to the beach. At 19, she was marooned in the Indian Ocean for nine days on a tiny cargo ship, with zero food and a captain who wouldn’t let the passengers fish for their dinner. And over the years, she has gone on to combine a deep love of travel with years as châtelaine of one of the most famous houses in the country, Hever Castle.
Along the way, Liz has always followed her nose, enjoying a deep love of fragrance. And we are excited to say that Liz Astor has now firmly entered the spotlight with a trio of fragrances that are rooted in a love of raw materials and storytelling. To create them, she works with a Grasse-based perfumer, Hélène Prévot, who is clearly a little bit genius at turning Liz’s dreams and experiences into quite stunning scents. (They’re pictured together below.)

The Liz Astor fragrances – which, as she puts it, ‘are made to empower women and inspire confidence, elegance and joy’ – inspired by Liz’s love of travel and adventure. These have taken from Morocco’s spice-laden souks to long stays in the sunlit landscapes of southern Europe, and each reflects her fascination with places where scent hangs vividly in the air. They convey a different facet of her olfactory world – each one a bit like an olfactory postcard, we think.
So, we couldn’t be more chuffed to offer the exclusive opportunity for two Beauty Bible readers to win a Liz Astor fragrance. The three in the collection are…
Hethersett, which is a return to Liz Astor’s roots, taking its name from her grandparents’ home, where she embarked on early experiments in perfume-making, mixing petals foraged from their garden. (Suffice to say, this collection is a step forward.) An elegant, sun-dappled chypre–fruity, Hethersett evokes walking through English gardens, orchards and swaying meadows. Think bright, crisp fruits and soft florals, threaded through with a classic mossy–woody undertone for poise and polish. To us, it’s all fresh linen, ripened fruit and green shade on a long summer afternoon. Bliss!
Nadira No.9 meaning rare, precious, exceptional – captures Liz Astor’s journeys through the Middle East, along ancient spice routes and oudh-scented nights. Somehow rather contemplative, it evokes the stillness of desert air beneath a vast, star-strewn sky, where time seems to pause. It’s built around warm amber, spiced woods and soft musks, with night-blooming florals for a slow-burning sensual depth on skin – and oh, it lingers gorgeously.
8.7°S 118.3°E, inspired by her time adrift at sea (that number is the geographical location of where she was lost), is wild and radiant, capturing salt spray, sunlight and sea air in a bottle. Bright bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit sparkle over aromatic clary sage and a wash of jasmine, while patchouli and vetiver anchor it with a subtly earthy, skin-warm trail.
So, first up, our two lucky winners will be sent the lovely Liz Astor discovery set, to try all three on your skin (as they should be experienced, and where they’ll develop beautifully). Then you’ll be sent your favourite from the trio, as a full size – usually £185 for 75ml eau de parfum; all three are also available as a parfum (normally £320 for 75ml), and Nadira No.9 is available only in that rich concentration. You get to choose.
We are truly torn between them, ourselves, and know you’re just going to love exploring these. You can meanwhile click on their (pink) names above to find any of the fragrances online, or explore the Discover Luxury Collection, priced £25 for 3 x XXml parfum. You can read more about Liz and her story here – and follow @lizastorlondon on Insta.
