Tanger Candle
From the hills overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier descends toward the sea in a maze of winding streets and lively medina cafés. The aroma of mint tea drifts through the old town, while nearby botanical gardens release the bright, captivating scent of neroli, citrus and aromatic maté.
The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot, mandarin and tangy lemon, followed by the luminous floral freshness of neroli. Herbaceous maté absolute brings a green, gently bitter contrast, while soft musk lends warmth and diffusion.
The candle is poured with a unique plant-based wax blend enriched with a touch of beeswax and free from paraffin and petrochemical derivatives. Its supple texture allows the fragrance to disperse beautifully, both lit and unlit. A pure cotton wick ensures a clean, even burn lasting approximately 60 to 70 hours.
Each candle is presented in a hand-blown glass vessel made in Tuscany. Its subtly smoky-grey tone and delicate air bubbles are natural variations of the artisanal process, making every piece unique.

ADDITIONAL INFO
The wax formulation, plant-based with a touch of beeswax, is unique. Free from paraffin or petrochemical derivatives, and therefore free from soot, its exceptionally supple and tender texture is a guarantee of its purity. The wax, worked for a long time, is perfectly miscible with the perfume, releasing the scent both hot and cold. The wick, woven in pure cotton, ensures combustion without traces, lasting and perfect for 60 to 70 hours, depending on the scent. Handcrafted blown glass tumblers from Tuscany have a transparent, slightly grey color, and light bubbles, giving them a unique, timeless appearance. Labels and packaging are lead-printed on old presses by SAIG, one of the last typographic workshops in the world.

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.
