Astier de Villatte: A Celebration of Craft and Scent

Does exquisite quality always equate to luxury? We believe true luxury is born from an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship—a dedication to making something exceptional, first and foremost, without chasing opulence for its own sake. When an object is created with intention and artistry, it naturally finds an audience who will cherish it.

Few brands embody this philosophy as effortlessly as Astier de Villatte. Since 1996, the Parisian atelier has built its legacy on handcrafted ceramics, fragrances, and incense—each piece a testament to the skilled hands that bring it to life. Their incense collection, in particular, is unparalleled, crafted in collaboration with one of Japan’s 14 revered Koh-Shi (incense masters), based on Awaji Island. Each scent is an exquisite blend of Eastern tradition and Western sensibility, evoking a tapestry of memories and emotions.

To complement these refined fragrances, Astier de Villatte offers a selection of distinctive incense holders, including the sculptural hand-shaped burner by Serena Carone and the whimsical smoking cat by Setsuko Klossowska, widow of painter Balthus and honorary president of the Balthus Foundation.

We invite you to discover and experience the full range in-store—where true craftsmanship speaks for itself.
