Description
Astier de Villatte's Delhi scent takes a spicy plunge into the heart of Delhi and unfolds like a fever dream of the senses.
In the old town, where alleys run tight and shadowed and buildings seem to lean into one another, the heat gathers and holds every scent in suspension. Betel, musk and myrrh create a deep, heady warmth; benzoin lends a resinous glow; smoked wood curls through the composition with a dusky softness. There are sweeter murmurs too — vanilla lingering beneath the spice — and then the green, camphorous breath of eucalyptus beedies, flickering through the haze. It brings to mind a walk through the city at dusk, when the day’s heat still clings to the stones and every street seems to exhale its own secret fragrance.

About Us
About Us
Founded by the late June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop, two great friends with a truly effortless and unique sense of style, Summerill & Bishop first opened its doors on 18th May, 1994 in Holland Park, and has remained on the same quiet, leafy corner of Clarendon Cross ever since.
Fantastic home cooks and entertainers both, June and Bernadette were frustrated with the offerings at most kitchen and tableware shops at the time, and with the lack of personality and intimacy, so they decided to create one of their own, where beauty and functionality would both be key.
At Summerill & Bishop we believe that if people take the time to lay the table and present a meal beautifully, they'll enjoy it all the more and create a lasting memory for those who share it with them.
For us, laying the table is an art form that we can all master at home and is one of the simplest ways to tell someone what they mean to you. The table isn't just a place to pass food, you pass tradition, memory, and love, too. Read our full story here...
