Early Bird Candle, from Paul Smith

Smells like rain falling on wet pavements, cloudy mornings and soft suede.

Hand-poured and blended with premium ingredients, this candle is formulated to ensure exceptional scent diffusion. The wax is housed in a tinted glass vessel complete with a contrasting lid that doubles as a coaster, an expression of Paul’s fondness for colour and its endless combinations. Once burned, why not give yours a new life as a pen or plant pot? Or perhaps use it to hold art supplies, toiletries, flowers or any bits and bobs?

Ultimately, it’s a tribute to the poeticism of the English rain, but stands a thoroughly modern scent with spicy, leathery notes.

CAUTION: Only burn this candle on a level, heat resistant surface. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep wick trimmed to 5mm. Stop using when 10mm of wax remains or wick disk becomes visible. Allow wax to harden before moving. Take care when extinguishing the flame. Keep candles 10cm apart and allow headroom for flame.
