THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
A ROOM-BY-ROOM GUIDE TO SCENTED CANDLES
No home’s decor is complete without a scented candle or two displayed about the place, filling rooms with wonderful fragrance.
Some fragrances, however, are better suited for certain rooms. Let’s delve into the whys and wheres, shall we?
KITCHEN
Kumgan Rose
Alas, a tricky one. What will complement the smells of one’s divine dining table? A spice or herb-scented candle does the trick, mingling rather well with the smell of food. (It’s still perfectly pleasant on its own, of course.) With hints of nutmeg, Sichuan pepper and saffron, the fresh and fragrant Kumgan Rose is an essential kitchen ingredient.
BATHROOM
COMOROS PEARL
The sanctuary of our daily ablutions calls for a fragrance at once clean and enlivening. Might we suggest Comoros Pearl? The warm ocean scent calms, while heady white florals and spice carry a sensorial thrill. Indeed, any candle with notes of dry woods, citrus or herbs will create a spa-like atmosphere.
GARDEN ROOM
ROANOKE IVY
Lolling (not that kind of lol-ling) and lounging in one’s garden room naturally necessitates a scented candle that evokes foliage and fascination. Enter Roanoke Ivy, where earthy ivy, luscious fruits, soft flowers and softer woods bloom. Be transported to lush green landscapes, without leaving one’s cane chair.

STUDY
MADURO LEAF
Whether one uses the study for genuine study or as a cosy refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, one thing is certain: comfort, warmth and indulgence should be the order of the day. Search for scented candles that include woods, leather and smoke, conjuring visions of wood-panelled walls and soft leather armchairs. Oh, is that a fire pit burning? Not exactly. It is the sumptuous Maduro Leaf.
FOYER
ANBAR STONE
We all know the importance of first impressions. So when someone (including one’s good self) steps through the front porch and into the home, a well-chosen, statement-making scented candle is a must. How about the sweet opulence of rare amber in Anbar Stone? Blended with burning resins and Tonka, the enveloping warmth whispers sophistication and pride for one’s abode.
LIVING ROOM
CALISAYA BARK
Inviting and soothing fragrances are most at home in the living room, where we relax and entertain. An earthy scented candle upon a coffee table conjures fresh pine cones, moss and woods. Calisaya Bark is just the ticket, with hints of spice, rose and grapefruit. Or, for a more refreshing choice, florals that smell like gardens in full bloom bring a burst of energy to your space.
