Delicious slice of cake and espresso at Scaturchio, the best pastry shop in Naples. Almonds, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, with a refreshing touch of petitgrain and neroli.
The candle collection by Astier de Villatte takes you on a magical journey to the land of scents. The candles are handcrafted in a workshop in southern France by a master candle maker - a specialist in wax production. The wax used in Astier de Villatte candles is one of a kind: 100% natural, free from paraffin, petrochemicals, and GMOs. It is incredibly soft and flexible, proving its unparalleled purity.
The wicks are tailored to the type of scent of the candle. They are made of pure cotton and ensure a residue-free burning 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 of the candles are printed by the last printer in France, Monsieur Huin. For decades, his printing house on the outskirts of Paris has been dedicated solely to printing poetry books and novels by famous authors, using the incredible and now almost completely forgotten art of hand typesetting.
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.
