A reverie of bygone times leads to Porte des Lilas. Emerging from the iconic 1920s metro station, the stairs open onto quiet alleys lined with charming houses, their gardens spilling over with mauve lilacs. The air is alive with verdant, intoxicating fragrances, punctuated by hints of rose and jasmine. Created with Alexandra Monet, this perfume blends essences of Italian bergamot, Madagascan ylang-ylang, Indian jasmine sambac, rose, heliotrope, and musk.

The incense itself is crafted on Awaji Island, renowned for producing the world’s finest incense for over a thousand years. Here, Masters of Aroma preserve a tradition passed down through generations, carefully balancing natural ingredients such as precious woods, herbs, plants, and resins through four meticulous stages: blending and kneading, resting, cutting, and drying in the island’s west wind before each stick is bundled.

Founded in 1996, Astier de Villatte is a Parisian atelier dedicated to preserving and reimagining tradition. Its ceramics workshop updates 18th-century Parisian techniques, while its suburban printing press, the last in France, continues the art of lead-type books. The publishing house has produced Ma Vie à Paris, Drawings with Lou Doillon, and a new edition of Mitsou by Balthus. Its perfume studio partners with master noses to create colognes, skincare, incense, gums, and a candle collection inspired by scents from around the world.
