The ultimate gift for a friend with their head in the clouds (or a book) at all times, Nomad Noé’s Dreamer in London evokes the quaint, rickety charm – not to mention, the colourful history – of our dizzying capital city.

Conjuring the magic of a cosy night – think: crackling fires, a toddy in hand and a lovingly thumbed book in your lap – this marries the smooth, smoky sweetness of cedar with comforting notes of vanilla and the tang of tobacco. Like old theatres (there’s more than a whisper of Wilton’s about it) or wood-panelled libraries, this captures all the character of London’s narrow alleys, tiny pubs and gentleman’s clubs – as well as Brits’ signature wit. With a burn time of c.55 hours, the hand-poured blend of apricot and coconut waxes burns cleanly and evenly – turning your living space into a quirky retreat as it flickers away on the mantel. And what’s more, the white ceramic vessel makes a perfect pot to put things in – from flowers to cotton rounds – long after the candle’s expired.

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.

Embodying the spirit of wanderlust with each release, Nomad Noé’s candle range has no shortage of personality; whether it’s the clean-cut design (spoiler: the ceramic vessels glow when the candle is lit) or the compelling scents that pique your curiosity, this Manhattan-based brand will not disappoint. Drawing inspiration from a tapestry of life experiences, the Grasse-crafted fragrances are an ode to specific memories, moments and people. Plus, alongside their commitment to vegan formulas, this ultra-cool collection is proud to be plant-based and 100% cruelty-free.
