Delhi 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.
Delhi’s dazzling diversity and creative eclecticism is conjured by visions of rickshaws careening through narrow streets, where exquisitely crumbling shrines sit next to gleaming skyscrapers. India’s vast and bustling metropolis provides the sensory inspiration for these incense sticks – made using ancestral techniques, their smoke exudes an eclectic fragrance of musk, myrrh, smoked vanilla wood and eucalyptus.
“We ask people to produce with a good spirit so the pieces look almost alive.”
Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli, Astier founders
