à la
a distinct perspective on olfactory exploration, beauty, and craft tradition...
Designed and created between New York and Japan, A LA embraces elevation through the intangible object of fragrance, to shape a personal space or express an individual narrative, including incense sticks and contemporary pot pourri.
Celebrating the making of fragrance as an ancestral craft, tradition is woven into all aspects of their offering...
Handcrafted in Japan, each natural element is carefully chosen to evoke a sense of timeless elegance rooted in tradition. Housed in handcrafted Japanese porcelain boxes, the design seamlessly merges form and function with an integrated incense holder built into the lid. Both functional and decorative, the handcrafted vessels are further incarnations of an immaterial beauty...
Composed around one of the rarest materials: agarwood, this revered wood anchors the scent with an enveloping, resinous and smoky aroma — evocative of hay drying in the sun. At the heart of encens à la aquilaria lies the powdery warmth of sandalwood, a softer note that adds a subtle depth to the composition. Patchouli infuses the fragrance with earthiness and a sweet,
oriental character.
Formulated with a special blend of natural botanicals and essential oils, pot pourri à la lamia is an elegant way to scent your space without flame or smoke. Presented in a 40g offering, it is ideal for entryways, bedside, or quiet corners.
pot pourri à la lamia, $122.50
encens à la aquilaria, $162.50
Each A LA incense box is packaged with approximately 100 sticks (40g), each burning for around 30 minutes to release a slow, low-smoke, meditative fragrance.
The outer packaging is crafted with Dutch and Japanese paper, further reflecting A LA's dedication to materials and techniques that bridge timeless tradition with contemporary design.
