Finest Festive Candles
Posted by Olivia Allwood-Mollon on November 2, 2012
- Baies Scented Candle by Diptyque; One of Diptyque’s most established scents, Baies is based around blackcurrent and rose notes, yet somehow took me back to both a Florentine cathedral and my grandmother’s rose garden. Damp, earthy undertones complement pretty floral top notes; £38. Available from Diptyque, 195 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, London, W11; 020 7727 8673; diptyqueparis.com
- Pine & Eucalyptus Scented Candle by Jo Malone; The most festive of festive scents, this candle smells of Christmas trees and mulled wine. And midnight mass, and wrapping paper and country rambles to work off Christmas lunch; £38. Available from jomalone.co.uk
- Classic Candle in Green Fig by True Grace; While not conventionally festive, the fresh green fig scent is at once warming and refreshing. The perfect antidote to the rich spice and citrus scents that dominate the house at Christmas. This candle sweeps away the snow and reminds us that Spring is just around the corner; £21. Available from Graham & Green, 4 Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, W11; grahamandgreen.co.uk
