Oulan Bator - Incense

An escape into the vast Mongolian steppe, Oulan Bator Incense evokes the rugged beauty of open landscapes where leather, smoke and dry winds shape the air. Raw yet refined, the fragrance captures the spirit of nomadic life, where the scent of worn leather and burning woods drifts across endless horizons.

Angelica root introduces an aromatic, slightly herbal sharpness, deepened by the richness of Indonesian patchouli and smoky Balkan tobacco. Birch wood and incense add a dry, smoldering warmth, while cistus and a soft vanilla-ambergris accord bring depth and subtle sweetness. A supple leather accord anchors the composition, creating a scent that feels both untamed and comforting. Created with perfumer Françoise Caron, it is bold, atmospheric and quietly powerful.

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.
