Pilgrimage to the holy city, bathed in wild aromas, and a walk around its surrounding walls. We visit the most famous, sacred places: the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall, and the Garden of Gethsemane. A trail of smoke from the church incense contains dark and mysterious notes of oud, cedarwood, and nutmeg, followed by lighter, more herbal scents of calamus and cypress.
Light the tip of the incense stick and blow out the flame. Place the smoking incense stick in a holder or a bowl filled with sand or rice. To extinguish the incense stick, simply gently squeeze its tip. It can be lit again later.

About the brand Astier de Villatte
Brand with a crafty touch. Its founders, Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, produce ceramics using traditional 19th century methods - making each piece timeless and unique. But ceramics are not the end! In 2008, the pair invited renowned "noses": Emilie Mazeaud and Françoise Carona (a star from the Japanese perfume house Takasago) to collaborate. This resulted in a line of colognes, incense, and scented candles. The candles deserve special recognition - each wick (made of pure cotton) is tailored to the specific composition, while the glass vessels, decorated with small air bubbles, are made in an old-fashioned workshop in Tuscany. The labels and cardboard packaging are printed by one of the last typesetters in France - Monsieur Huin.
