Ginori - IL SEGUACE FOREST

A porcelain candle holder depicting a expressive face which is proud to be able to bring harmony to people and environments. With a mingling of bergamot and mandarin, this candle will offer an ambiance of illusory mystique and unalloyed elegance. Plus it looks like a prop from an Indiana Jones movie. £230. 

Diptique - Cannelle / Cinnamon Candle

Cinnamon bark freshly stripped from the tree branches. It has kept the captivating scents of its land of origin, India, and its accents, at times woody and spicy, at others warm and gourmand. This sweet and understated fragrance will underpin that exoticism you wish to project to your guests. £51. 

Cire Trudon - La Marquise Candle

As the oldest candle makers in the world, Cire Trudon has created the La Marquise candle. A sensually floral scent with notes of rose, verbena, lemon and citronella; reminiscent of the exquisite aromas of the European marquees and monarchic mistresses.

The black and gold mouth-blown glass vessel imbibe a regality and invites your guests to appreciate the finer things about you. £85. 

Le Labo - Santal 26 Candle

Only Le Labo can make concrete look this sexy. The Santal 26 is a warm sophisticated grey concrete candle that cements (pun intended) Le Labo's commitment to refined craftsmanship. It has been poured in their lab in USA and its concrete vessel has been handcrafted in USA. £329.

Acqua di Parma - Oh L'amore Candle

That's right, light the fuse of love, slip on that silk robe and Stevie Wonder, and prepare for a healthy dollop of sweet smelling goods. The emotions of falling in love, captured in a candle. The fire that warms from the inside and recalls the charm of love at first sight. £59. 

TOM FORD - Lost Cherry Candle

The man that demands everything in capital letters. I wonder if Tom talks in capital letters, just shouts at everyone and everything. Anyway, allow me to shout about the Lost Cherry Candle from his Private Blend collection. You'll be in awe of the explosions of sweet tart, enthralled by the bitter almond and totally enveloped with the dark cherry. £92.

Loewe - Honeysuckle Candle

Developed in Spain with in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles, 'Honeysuckle' has a low-intensity floral aroma. It's 'potted' in a handmade, glazed terracotta earthenware vessel.

The warm yellow hue is guaranteed to bring a ray of sunshine to your living space. £70. 

SKANDINAVISK - SKOG 3-Wick Scented Vase Candle

Don't you just hate it when one wick has diminished so badly the candle is now extinguished like an out of use lighthouse. Well the SKOG 3-Wick Scented Vase Candle ensures that you never have to suffer those interminable woes ever again. Probably the most sustainable candle in this listicle, poured in Sweden. Swedish rapeseed wax blend, returning fragrance favourite, and FSC-certified packaging standard that reflect their journey (and yours) to leave a lighter footprint. £50. 

ByRedo - Cotton Poplin Candle

A scent evoking the comforting feeling of freshly-washed linen. It's expressive, and indivisible from those memories of climbing into those new freshly washed bed sheets as a child. White fabric woven with notes of chamomile, luminous cedar and tender musk. £60.
