The Naples Candle by Astier de Villatte captures the delicious atmosphere of an afternoon in Naples, inspired by a slice of traditional pastiera and an espresso at Scaturchio, one of the city’s celebrated pastry bars. Gourmand yet luminous, the fragrance evokes the warmth and sweetness of Neapolitan indulgence.
Created with perfumer Françoise Caron, the composition blends delicious almond with orange blossom and ylang-ylang, lifted by the refreshing brightness of petitgrain and neroli. The result is a beautifully balanced home fragrance that feels sweet, floral and delicately fresh.
Handcrafted in France, the candle features Astier de Villatte’s unique plant-based wax formulation with a touch of beeswax, free from paraffin and petrochemical derivatives. A pure cotton wick provides an even burn, while the hand-blown Tuscan glass vessel features a subtly grey transparency and delicate bubbles that make each piece unique.
