Description
A new mythical fragrance rises over Sunset Boulevard. Delicate notes of iris and patchouli guide us along the yellow brick road of Hollywood studios, mingling with sunny cedarwood, eucalyptus, and vetiver drawn from Southern California’s lush vegetation. Created with Françoise Caron, it contains essences of cypress, iris, vetiver, patchouli, styrax, tonka bean, and eucalyptus.
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 curious about this Hollywood Incense, and it delivers a unique, earthy fragrance that fills my room nicely. The patchouli and cedarwood blend is calming, perfect for evening relaxation. Each stick burns evenly for about 30 minutes, just as described. The box looks elegant on my shelf. While pricey, the quality feels worth it. Not sure what ‘maxx crosby’ has to do with it, but this incense is a solid choice for fans of deeper scents.
