Aoyama Candle

From Paris based Astier de Villatte, the hand poured candle is free of paraffin, and other petrochemical byproducts and contains a mixture of soy oil, secret plant ingredients and a smidgeon of bees wax, in a hand made glass vessel. Damp wood, incense, and freshly laundered linen, evoke for Sonya Park the typical smell of an old, wooden Japanese house from the neighbourhood of Aoyama. Exquisite traces of highly-chic Patchouli (damp wood) of smoked wood (Gaiac and Vetiver) and of cloves. A harmonious chord of moss accentuates the feeling of freshness.

Burning time: 60-70 Hours

Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli founded their company in 1996, together with members of the Astier de Villatte family and friends from the École des Beaux-Arts. They draw their inspiration from the history of decorative arts, popular arts and neglected objects.

Gradually, the duo assumed sole responsibility for the company, building its reputation through word-of-mouth rather than advertising strategies.
