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 frosted red glassware embossed with Bella’s handwriting, this makes a stand-out addition to any hearth, bookshelf of 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 see 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.

Sensuous and seductive, Bella Freud’s Loving Candle conjures the femininity (and raunchiness) of the 70s – it’s a suede mini dress and long, tanned limbs emerging from the back seat of a mustang, or Gucci’s blonde-haired, Farah Fawcett bombshells sexily sashaying down the runway – super-charged and smouldering, strong, flirtatious and coquettish. Tantalising notes of tuberose absolute are caressed by the warmth of amber crystals, while the lingering, smokiness of sandalwood whispers from its heart – the perfect way to create a romantic ambience, this is a gorgeous gift for your significant other (or indulgent treat-to-self), and will sit perfectly on any vanity or bedside table. What’s more, the jar itself makes a gorgeous vase, pen pot or coin collector, long after its contents have been greedily inhaled.
