Nazareth Scented Candle by Cire Trudon
Candles are a lovely thing at Christmas, especially since few Christmas trees seem to have that delicious pine scent in this day and age. Two of the best are Jo Malone Pine & Eucalyptus and Annick Goutal Noel. Jo Malone P & E is released as a limited edition over Christmas, so has a habit of selling out fast. Nöel (my favourite) combines pine bark with orange and mandarin – it’s Christmas bottled. Both are. Annick Goutal’s shop is at 109 Mount St, tel: 020 7629 8507 (if you’re prepared to pay P&P they’ll post, candles from £32). Jo Malone do mail order although this candle isn’t listed on the website. Call 0800 054 2939 (candles from £38).
If no luck with either, Cire Trudon Nazareth Scented Candle (£55) is worth a sniff – think spices this time: clove, cinnamon, orange and more. The hand blown red glass container is beautiful – these candles are a cut above. They have recently opened a small shop in Marylebone – click here to read my review for Grazia Daily. A visit right now will transport you back to Christmas circa 1890.
