Breathtaking Kingston Incense Sticks

Editor’s Notes

Astier de Villatte incense sticks evoke the distinct character of different destinations around the world – imbuing living spaces with a lingering, distinctive scent.This aroma is inspired by Kingston, legendary birthplace of Rastafarianism and Reggae. A journey around the Jamaican capital, from the vibrant alleys of Trench Town to the legendary Tuff Gong studios, provide sensory inspiration for these incense sticks. Made using ancestral techniques, their smoke exudes a fragrance of wood and earthy vetiver with a touch of patchouli and fresh green grapefruit.“We ask people to produce with a good spirit so the pieces look almost alive.”
