Namche Bazaar - Incense

Inspired by the mountain air of the Himalayan trading town, Namche Bazaar Incense evokes the comforting ritual of warm black tea shared along rugged paths. The fragrance carries the scent of dried hay and faint tobacco smoke, mingled with aromatic herbs and soft woods that feel both grounding and quietly uplifting.

Patchouli and yerba maté create an earthy, tea-like depth, enriched by the gentle warmth of musk. Fresh verveine and aromatic lavender lift the composition with a clean, herbal brightness, balancing the darker notes with a sense of cool mountain air. The result is both soothing and invigorating, like pausing for tea along a windswept trail.

Crafted on the island of Awaji using traditional techniques passed down through generations, each stick is made from natural woods, resins and botanicals to ensure a smooth burn and a refined, lingering fragrance.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Designers of furniture and white ceramics Ivan Pericoli and Benoît founded their company, Astier de Villatte, in 1996 in association with friends and family. Successor to the Parisian manufactures of the 18th century, satire de village is now the only major studio to keep the tradition of artisanal ceramic production in Paris alive. In 2000, they opened the boutique at 173 rue Saint Honoré, which also presented their other creations for the home: titanium cutlery, borosilicate glassware and above all the wonderful collection of traditionally printed notebooks.

In 2008 they decided to join forces with a big name from the perfume world and together begin creating luxury scented goods. Working with their associates Emilie Massed and Françoise Caron, the star pefumer at Takasago (a Japanese fragrance company) Astier de Villatte's range of scented products was born.
