Ultra-light Hollywood Incense Sticks

Editor’s Notes

Astier de Villatte’s incense sticks evoke the distinctive and alluring character of different destinations around the world – an effective way to imbue spaces with a lingeringly atmospheric scent.The semi-mythical setting of historic Hollywood provides the sensory inspiration for these incense sticks – made using ancestral techniques, their smoke exudes a sweet fragrance of iris, patchouli, cedarwood, eucalyptus and vetiver. Floral notes draw the note into the alluring maze of Hollywood studios and fantastical sets, while fresh botanical elements evoke Southern California’s densely verdant vegetation, drifting up towards a golden sky.“We ask people to produce with a good spirit so the pieces look almost alive.”
