1970 Candle 190g

Bella Freud's 1970 scented candle celebrates the glorious era of free love and rock music with an incense-shrouded blend of black musk and patchouli.

The designer's coveted iconography plays out in scent form, housed in a classic black vessel. Equal parts masculine and feminine, the 1970 fragrance features mingling notes of frankincense, myrrh, oakmoss, patchouli, musk, sandalwood and vetiver, viewed through a hippy haze. Accompany this candle with your favourite alt-rock record for an evening at home with ambience.

HOW TO USE

Trim the wick before lighting for a longer, cleaner burn. On the first time of lighting, allow the candle to burn for a few hours, until the wax has pooled right to the edge. This will allow for a more even burn in future.

Bella Freud – London’s favourite mischievous designer and pioneer of quirky knitwear – launched her first scented candles in 2012. Unusually for a contemporary perfumer, Freud takes inspiration from bohemian icons like poet Allen Ginsberg and Fairytale of New York, Shane McGowan’s great Christmas ballad. The fragrances are rich with distinctive ingredients like Moroccan incense, English waterlily and oud, and will bring a sense of atmosphere to the home.
