WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE

Sandalwood accord
Smoke
Leather

INTENSITY

Moderate to strong

Living rooms, studios and anyone who wants a recognisable home signature.

WHY IT MADE THE EDIT

It gives a room personality without reading as conventional air freshener. The leathery smoke feels natural beside timber, linen, books and restrained interiors.

THE COMPROMISE

It is recognisable and priced as a luxury candle. If value matters more than the vessel or house signature, compare it with Ptolemy first.
