Villa Médicis - Incense

Overlooking the rooftops of Rome, the gardens of the Villa Medici offer a place of quiet reflection and artistic inspiration. Villa Medici Incense captures the sunlit calm of this historic setting, where aromatic herbs and citrus trees perfume the warm air and ancient stone walls radiate gentle heat.

Bright Italian lemon leaf opens the composition with a fresh, green clarity, followed by lavender, oregano and rosemary that bring an aromatic, Mediterranean warmth. Myrtle and clary sage add herbal depth, while cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli create a dry, woody foundation reminiscent of sun-warmed timber and stone. The result is elegant and contemplative, like a slow walk through terraced gardens overlooking the Eternal City.

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.
