It does not advertise or sell any products online and up until now, the brand had only offered a single and untitled scent which was available at a small store in London. AVESTAN unveils its [new fragrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alias-and-alias-ii) with the second store opening and it is inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which is a small repository on the island of Spitsbergen. A representative from AVESTAN speaks about how the brand discloses specific notes and ingredients in two fragrances, noting "This allows for a more personal exploration of the scent. [The Svalbard] borrows aromas from the seeds, the concrete, and the Arctic environment."
