Ivan and Benoit Astier de Villatte reveal their last olfactory trip (candle) to the Aeolian Islands (located in the north of Sicily), an enchanting stopover on an island of legend: Stromboli, with its rivers of lava and fire, tufts of white smoke and black sand beaches.

From the sunny alleys of Ginostra, a small fishing town with dazzling white houses, take a walk uphill towards the volcano, among the lemon, bigarade orange and olive trees: their smell is intoxicating, an intense mix of citrus fruits mixed with warm thyme, coriander, basilic and jasmine, vibrating together in the scorching air.


Available at Nose in the glass and ceramic versions (art deco style).
