Description
Buenos Aires brims with vitality and elegance. On a summer night in a lively historic quarter, sip a drink on a milonga terrace as tango dancers sway in the shadows. Let yourself be carried away by the languid rhythm of the music and the delicate scent of white flowers on the warm breeze. Created with Jérôme Di Marino, this perfume blends essences of pink peppercorn, mandarin, ylang-ylang, rose, magnolia, violet, heliotrope, musk, and tonka.
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.

I was drawn to Buenos Aires Incense for its unique floral and spicy notes, and it truly delivers an elegant experience. The sticks burn evenly, lasting around 30 minutes as advertised, and the scent fills my room beautifully without being overwhelming. While the price is on the higher side, the quality of ingredients and craftsmanship justifies it. I didn’t expect to feel transported to a summer evening in Argentina every time I light one. A delightful touch of avatar fire and ash to my daily ritual.
