Astier de Villatte

Rising from a snow-covered landscape, delectable vapours of green citrus fruit, peppermint-frozen magnolia, crystal clear moss and musk. A woody amber accord provides a touch of warmth.

Damp wood, incense, and freshly laundered linen, evoke for Sonya Park the typical smell of an old, wooden Japanese house from the neighbourhood of Aoyama.

Exquisite traces of highly chic patchouli (damp wood) of smoked wood (gaiac and vetiver) and of clove. A harmonious chord of moss accentuates the feeling of freshness.

Passed from father to son, for over a thousand years, The Koh-shis or Masters of Aromas, continue using their traditional methods of fabrication. Only they can perfectly control the four steps of production: perfect dosage of exclusively natural ingredients, precious woods, herbs and plants, vegetable resins and perfume. The kneading of the paste, which is pressed and worked for lengthy periods of time, then laid out to rest for two weeks to fully absorb of the perfumes. The cutting of the paste into lengthy ribbons, rolled by hand, then left to dry in a West Wind for three days, before binding them in sheaves.

Made in the Japanese island of Awaji, using ancestral traditions and techniques, its delicate smoke exhales a delicate scent of driftwood, resins, jasmine and immortelle. Legend has it that, one day, a trunk of agarwood was washed onto the beach. The island dwellers burned it, and the smell was so intoxicating that they decided to offer it as a gift to the Emperor, and later on erect a sanctuary.

Astier de Villate's Bergamot organic dish washing liquid respects the environment and takes care of your hands, beautiful ceramics and other precious objects.

Leaves an exquisite trace of perfume in the kitchen. Not tested on animals.

One-of-a-kind brand Astier de Villatte handcrafts its signature ceramics, glassware, and candles in an antique Bastille workshop, historically home to Napoleon Bonaparte's own silversmith. Best known for their 18th-and 19th-century inspired pottery, their team of twenty ceramicists (perhaps the biggest in Paris) makes each piece in a traditional style passed down through a family of generations. Starting with black terracotta, each piece is finished with a milky glaze that amplifies the unique character of the clay, celebrating its imperfections and ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.

Neon letters on theater billboards flicker everywhere, while below the hustle and bustle of the crowd. Energy is at its peak.

A curious effervescent aroma, inspired by the secret formula of the legendary soft drink, refreshing, citrusy and caramelized, delicately stings your nose.

It was here, under the flowering arbors of the gardens of the Grand Hôtel, in the heart of this elegant seaside resort on the Normandy coast, that Marcel Proust wrote "Within a Budding Grove".

A delectable aroma of wisteria and a whiff of creamy jasmine accented by the freshness of ocean spray permeate this timeless vacation spot.

Deep in an English garden with an Agatha Christie novel.

A cluster of sensual, opulent roses from Morocco and fruity ones from Turkey, entwined with green, vegetable notes from violet leaves, galbanum, verbena, spicy effusions of cinnamon leaf.

For Commune de Paris – the rebellious and edgy label created by three Parisian creators of fashion and product design – Astier de Villatte and Françoise Caron have imagined Cologne 1871, a subversive Eau de Cologne.

At first, it hits like an explosion of Sicily lemons, with rosemary and bergamot. But under its acid and cheeky exterior, Cologne 1871 hides the ineffable charm of the powdery scents characteristic of its time.

Suave labdanum, benzoin, cedar wood and patchouli are combined with the first two synthetic molecules ever created by man – coumarin that smells like cut grass, and benzalehide that smells like almonds – giving it a unique flavour.

Gusts of citrus fruit, sharp and alive; lemons from Italy, bergamot and scented geranium all invade the air. Suddenly it’s the calm after the storm.

A delicious, warm, sweet and slightly powdery mist rises from the cobblestones. Suave styrax resin and nutmeg are joined by the scent of green almonds from Coumarin, the celebrated molecule of the age.

A spicy plunge into the heart of the old town.

Narrow back streets; buildings upon buildings; an overheated atmosphere – a thousand heady flavours rise to your senses: betel, benzoin, musk and myrrh, flushes of smoked wood, vanilla emanations, herbal and eucalyptus beedies.

Careering by rickshaw through narrow streets in The Old Town. A torpid atmosphere. Scents of a thousand different spices flood your nostrils. Betel, styrax, musk, myrrh. Grey clouds of smoked vanilla wood. Beedies of herbs and eucalyptus.

A pure creation by Françoise Caron, its impeccable manners hide a fiery temperament.

A subtle balance of white flowers, ylang-ylang, crushed rose, mysterious tuberose, alongside the fresh, nervous intensity or rosemary, basil, thyme, lemon petit grain and lavender.

A fresh splash that would energise and enliven even Sleeping Beauty. Frank, direct, addictive, it is each morning’s shockwave.

Fusing verbena, aromatic lavender, rosemary, basil, and the lightness of a flower note. Add a trace of benzoin for long-lasting freshness.

Like a flash of lightning, an incisive and dainty fusion inside a cocktail of citrus, sweet orange, the most elegant bergamot, and lemon’s greenest accents.

And, as it develops on the skin, it becomes increasingly appealing, with a mouth-watering note of aromatic herbs and patchouli, like clean sunshine. 

An incredible, euphoric scent of wild plants and medicinal herbs.

A concentrate of the warm aromatic emanations of woods, the spicy smell of clove and wormwood, the fresh notes of lavender and petit grain, the formula for this elixir is inspired by a very ancient and invigorating recipe. Its herbal trail is long-lasting.

An enchanting smell escapes the bottle and suddenly fills the air: it is the age-old linden that shades the garden of painter Balthus’s atelier, at Grand Chalet, high up in the Swiss alps.

A tribute to the artist and his favourite scent, bask in this Cologne’s delightful redolence of honey, milk and slight hints of lemon. And in the end, a slight trail of blond wood and vanilla remains. 

Lost in Swiss Alpine pastures, at the heart of a small and peaceful village, stands the imposing and magnificent wooden structure of the Grand Chalet. It was here, in this unique landscape with its healing climate, that the painter Balthus made his home, enchanted by the fragrances of milk, honey and hints of citrus from the ancient lime trees that surrounded his studio. Today, like a wonderful memory, his favourite perfume fills this place once again.

The mythical health spa preferred by Franz Kafka, with its baroque architecture where under the rococo arcades of its thermal baths with seven mineral springs, floats the fragrant aromas of green tea, cardamom and nutmeg, while the healing waters exude aromatic mists from the warm and humid stones, perfumed with sandalwood and white musk.

Astier de Villatte's Monte Carlo candle:

Supreme chic. A never-ending ballet of the Hôtel de Paris’ revolving doors, rivers of diamonds flowing round casino tables; the air is infused with divine, rich fragrances of Cyprus neroli, tuberose, rose, jasmine, iris, artemisia and patchouli essence, with a coup de grâce trace of leather.
