Sao Tomé - Incense
Off the coast of West Africa lies the lush island of São Tomé, often called Chocolate Island for the rich aroma of cocoa drifting from its plantations. São Tomé Incense captures this indulgent atmosphere, where the scent of roasted cocoa mingles with warm woods and gentle smoke in the humid island air.
At its heart is the deep, bittersweet aroma of dark cocoa, rich and enveloping without becoming overly sweet. Atlas cedar and smoky labdanum add depth and a subtle incense-like warmth, while creamy sandalwood softens the composition with a smooth, comforting texture. A touch of musk rounds the fragrance, leaving a warm and lingering trail reminiscent of roasted beans and sun-warmed timber. Created by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville, the scent feels both exotic and quietly luxurious.
Crafted on the island of Awaji using traditional techniques passed down through generations, each stick is made from natural woods, resins and botanicals to ensure a smooth burn and an elegant diffusion of fragrance.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Designers of furniture and white ceramics Ivan Pericoli and Benoît founded their company, Astier de Villatte, in 1996 in association with friends and family. Successor to the parisian manufactures of the 18th century, satire de village is now the only major studio to keep the tradition of artisanal ceramic production in Paris alive.
In 2000, they opened the boutique at 173 rue Saint Honoré, which also presented their other creations for the home: titanium cutlery, borosilicate glassware and above all the wonderful collection of traditionally printed notebooks.
In 2008 they decided to join forces with a big name from the perfume world and together begin creating luxury scented goods. Working with their associates Emilie Massed and Françoise Caron, the star pefumer at Takasago (a Japanese fragrance company) Astier de Villatte's range of scented products was born.
