Tucson - Incense

Under the vast Arizona sky, Tucson Incense evokes the dry heat of the desert, where towering cacti cast long shadows over sunbaked earth. The air shimmers with the scent of parched woods, wild grasses and warm dust, punctuated by aromatic herbs carried on desert winds.

Smoky woods and sun-dried grasses form the heart of the composition, enriched by the golden warmth of immortelle and the earthy depth of vetiver and patchouli. Rosemary, thyme and oregano introduce aromatic brightness, while Atlas cedar, birch and labdanum create a dry, resinous base that recalls scorched earth and distant campfires. The result is warm, rugged and atmospheric, like a quiet pause beneath a mesquite tree at dusk.

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.
