Now housed in a glorious, golden-toned ceramic jar (complete with golden, branded lid), Bella Freud’s 1970 Candle evokes the sexily heady scent of the incense that permeated the decade of free love and rock music. The intoxicating fusion of frankincense, myrrh, oakmoss and patchouli give way to the lingering base notes of musk, sandalwood and vetiver – just imagine the film ‘Almost Famous’ in fragrance, and you get the idea of its hazily hippy sensuousness. The ideal olfactory accompaniment to an evening at home with your favourite Led Zeppelin soundtrack, this makes a gorgeous gift for a laid-back BFF or your über-cool girlfriend-who-has-everything; it’s a brilliant balance of masculine and feminine, beguiling but insouciant… swoon. What’s more, the jar itself makes a fabulous vase, pencil pot or coin collector long after its contents have been greedily inhaled.

Place in the central part of the room for optimum fragrance distribution. TOP TIP: Minimise smoking by trimming wick after each use and make sure you burn the candle for a good hour the first time you light it, this keeps it burning evenly.

Having made her name as a fashion icon and taste-maker, Bella Freud’s candles are as quirky as her covetable sweaters (donned by the likes of La Moss, Alexa and the lovely Laura Bailey). Impeccably housed and embossed with her signature solgans, each candle makes a stand-out addition to any hearth, bookshelf or bedside table – and their super-sleek aesthetic is only the beginning… Make with hand-poured natural wax infused with the finest essential oils and extracts, this heady candle will fill your rooms with its intoxicating fragrance – even without being lit! However, if you’re able to convince yourself to set a match to it (it’s almost too stunning to use), it will burn for around 80 hours – transforming your space, both visually and aromatically, into something deserving of ‘at home with Vogue’.
