Description
Tucson, located in the desert of Arizona, surrounded by giant cacti with incredible shapes. You walk through the city center, along streets with colorful houses. The air is filled with the intoxicating scent of the Wild West: slightly smoky and sweet aroma of wild grass, warm wood, flowers and red earth scorched by the sun.
The candle collection by Astier de Villatte takes you on a fairy-tale journey to the land of scent. 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 unique: 100% natural, free from paraffin, petrochemical products and GMOs. It is incredibly soft and flexible, which proves its unparalleled purity.
The wicks, on the other hand, are tailored to the type of candle scent. They are made of pure cotton and ensure residue-free burning for 60 to 70 hours. The glass bottles, decorated 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 exclusively dedicated to printing collections of poetry and novels by famous authors, using the incredible and now almost completely forgotten art of hand composition.
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.
