Completely loving these Fornasetti candles at the wince-making price of £350 – ouch. But, if you’re feeling flush, what you can expect is a fragrance created by nose Oliver Polge in conjunction with Barbara Fornasetti. Top notes of lavender and sage, middle notes of orris and cedarwood and a kicker of Tolu balsam, incense, Birch and Labdanum. Not sure I could actually part with the notes if it came down to it, but I’d certainly waver!
I’m on a real candle kick at the moment, but I think I’ll stick with my beloved Jonathan Ward …
