By the Fire

The cosiest spot of all, a place by the fire is bookworm heaven. To perfect your reading experience, opt for a warm and welcoming fragrance like Hera, the Best Interior Fragrance of the Year, according to the prestigious Fragrance Foundation Awards. Inspired by the elegance of the Aesthetic movement, it combines velvety rose, woodland moss and golden amber – a dreamy atmosphere for reading poetry or classic novels by.

At the Breakfast Table

Who says candles are only for after-dark? Bring lightness and warmth to your morning with a fresh, floral fragrance, the candle equivalent of a bunch of posies on the breakfast table. With its notes of wild rose, jasmine and earthy cedarwood, Wild Flowers brings a sunnily optimistic mood to set you up for the day – the ideal companion for reflecting, conscious journaling, or plotting out your next grand plan.
