Clean candle aromas for winter nights in

January 22, 2009 by Yanar Alkayat

We present our latest luxe find, these simply divine candles that are currently flying out of London stores and getting snapped up by Stateside celebs like Mariah Carey and Beyonce.

Beautifully crafted with minimal impact on our environment, the blend of 88% soy wax (organically grown, of course) and 12% beeswax makes them a squeeky-clean burn (no black wall-marks) and not a drop of paraffin or petroleum in sight (the main ingredients for most candles, including those mega expensive ones).

The brains behind the box, Jonathan Ward, spent three years after his career in fashion, perfecting his fragrance skills and the results are impressive: delicate notes nodding to special memories from his travels and life and origami-style, glue-less packaging for extra eco-credentials.

From the 12 sophisticaed scents, try Peonies in Paris (a sexy mix of florals, leather and coffee) for February romance or one of the bestsellers, Moss (rose and lavender blended with middle-eastern spices and lily of the valley) for a comforting, heavenly night in. With another three scents on their way, it’s a luxuriously pure indulgence you simply must try.

£28 for single candle or £34 for mini trio gift set.
