Villa Medici Incense & César Incense Holder Gift Set

A considered pairing for the ritual of scent, this gift set brings together Astier de Villatte’s sculptural César Incense Burner with Villa Medici Incense. César is a beautifully distinctive holder for favorite incense, transforming a daily gesture into a small moment of ceremony.

Villa Medici is inspired by the gardens overlooking the rooftops of Rome: a place of quiet reflection, artistic exchange and sun-warmed stillness. Italian lemon leaf opens with a fresh green clarity, followed by lavender, oregano and rosemary. Myrtle and clary sage deepen the aromatic heart, while cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli create a dry, elegant foundation recalling ancient stone, timber and terraced gardens.

Crafted on the island of Awaji using generations-old techniques, Villa Medici Incense is made from natural woods, resins and botanicals for 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.
