Having made her name as a fashion icon and taste-maker, Bella Freud’s candles are as quirky and covetable as her signature sweaters (donned by the likes of La Moss, Alexa and the lovely Laura Bailey). Housed in chic matte black glassware embossed with a graphic striped roundel, this makes a stand-out addition to any hearth, bookshelf or bedside table – and the super-sleek aesthetic is only the beginning… Made 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 before being lit! However, if you’re able to bring yourself to set a match to it (it’s almost too beautiful to use), it will burn for around 40 hours – transforming your home both visually and aromatically into something you’d find on the pages of ‘at home with Vogue’.

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.

Potent and powerful like its namesake, Bella Freud’s Lion Candle evokes – both aesthetically and aromatically – the electrifying atmosphere of Grand Prix in its eighties heyday; vibrant, daring and impassioned, the fiery notes of pepper, star anise and nutmeg are conjured by a rich accord of cedarwood, vetiver, oakmoss and smouldering amber. It’s warm and exhilarating, hedonistic and exciting – imagine a lioness pounding the African plains, or Ayrton Senna speeding his McLaren ‘round the heaving streets of Monte Carlo. A delectable gift for a thrill seeking friend, this oozes latent sex appeal and looks as stunning as it smells; what’s more, the jar itself makes an über-cool container for (boring things like) pens and pennies or (more exciting things) like lethal Cuba Libres.
