We’re big fans of Kenneth Turner candles, his Original fragrance, recently renamed ‘Signature’ is still considered a benchmark classic in terms of lifestyle fragrance and is commonly referred to as the ‘Chanel No 5′ of the home fragrance market, so it’s nice to hear about his Christmas Collection.
The candles burn brightly, no guttering, and release their fabulous fragrance for what seems like ages. It’s a really classy gift and once the wax has burned down the glass vases can be re-used to hold pillar candles, tealights or flowers.
In case you don’t know, Kenneth Turner is the pioneering floral artist whose forward thinking creations were the first to embrace flowers, fruits, vegetables, woods and foliage. In a career spanning six decades, he has become a world leader in floral artistry and this is beautifully reflected in these scented candles.
Each of the winter fragrances are inspired by his story:
Masquerade – a hint of mystery and seduction in the air
MASQUERADE: a glitz-fuelled masked winter’s ball with diamonds, fur, champagne, caviar over crushed ice and an abundance of gorgeous petrol blue and black roses. Fragrance notes: A heady blend of black rose, black pepper and dark cassis nourished with ginger, myrrh, patchouli and amber.
intoxicating scent of mulled wine, berries and goodwill – £42
WINTER BERRIES: A beautiful home decorated for the season, a blazing log fire, a table laden with fabulous food and the intoxicating scent of mulled wine, berries and goodwill. Fragrance notes: A rare vintage of sweet red berries, satsuma and cinnamon in harmony with iris and vanilla.
A crisp winter fantasy
MIDWINTER Memories of a special Christmas, walking the dogs before lunchtime. It’s Boxing Day, footprints in the frost and breath cutting through the air, trees laden with lime-green mistletoe, cold air on faces and the warmth of family and friends. Fragrance notes: A crisp winter fantasy of mint, mistletoe and pine with ozonic floral notes, rosemary and thyme propelled by sparkling musk.
Each scent is available as a Scented Candle in Posy Vase (£42), Scented Candle in Stem Vase (£90) and Room Cologne (£22). Winter Berries is also available as a box of 12 Tealights (£25).
