Atelier de Balthus Candle 260g

$168 NZD

Atelier de Balthus scented candle by celebrated French ceramic house, Astier de Villatte. In the painter’s studio, all covered in wood panelling, time seems suspended. Through the big bay window overlooking green altitude meadows, the Northern light pours her powdery rays all over brushes, palettes, tubes, paint pots, sketched canvasses and rags still wet with linseed oil. The air is fragrant with the heady smell of turpentine mixed with lovely wisps of smoke, honey, woods, tobacco and cedar wood.

Scent family - Smokey

Notes: Smoke, honey, woods, tobacco and cedar wood.

Size: 260g, burntime 60 - 70 hours.

The candle fragrances were developed by Astier de Villatte designers and perfumer Françoise Caron who worked with a team at Takasago.

The candles are made of biodegradable vegetable wax (a mix of soy, beeswax, and plant extracts) and have cotton wicks.

The glass is hand blown in Tuscany, making each one completely unique.

Each piece is individually made by skilled artisans in the brand’s historic Parisian workshops using traditional techniques and black terracotta clay, finished with a signature milky white glaze that allows the unique texture and tone of the clay to subtly show through. Every item is a one-of-a-kind creation, with the engraved initials of both Astier de Villatte and the artisan who made it—a mark of craftsmanship and authenticity. The organic shapes, delicate detailing, and irregular finishes are a celebration of imperfection and French artisanal heritage.
