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.
