Description
Buenos Aires exudes vitality and elegance. On a summer night in the old, bustling district of the city, you sip a drink. Right next to you, dancers sway in the darkness to the rhythm of music. Let yourself be intoxicated by the languid rhythm and the scent of white flowers carried by the warm wind.
The candle collection by Astier de Villatte takes you on a fairy-tale journey to the land of fragrance. The candles are made in a workshop in the south of France by a master chandler - a specialist in wax production. The wax used in Astier de Villatte candles is one of a kind: 100% natural, free from paraffin, petrochemical products, and GMOs. It is incredibly soft and flexible, proving its unparalleled purity.
The wicks are tailored to the type of candle fragrance. They are made of pure cotton and ensure a residue-free burn for 60 to 70 hours. The glass bottles, adorned with small air bubbles, are made in Tuscany. Each one is unique. The labels and packaging for the candles are printed by the last remaining printer in France, Monsieur Huin. For decades, his printing press on the outskirts of Paris was solely dedicated to printing collections of poetry and novels by famous authors, using the incredible and now almost completely forgotten art of hand typesetting.
Method of use
During the first use, burn the candle for at least one hour to ensure even burning. Then, each time, burn for 2-3 hours to enjoy the essence of the scent. After use, it is worth trimming and, if necessary, centering the wick to ensure even burning of the candle and prevent the jar from getting sooty.
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.
