Illumens Abbaye Garrigue Candle In Glass

SCENTED CANDLE IN GLASS 220g

Our candles have a well deserved excellent reputation. Generously imbued with fragrance oil - as high as the manufacturing process allows - our candles really will fragrance your home and illuminate the darkest of corners. Our candles have a burn time of around 40 fragrant hours.

Garrigue conjures up the fragrance of the heathland so you can detect gorse bushes, juniper berries, warm earth, wild rosemary and dry, smoky grass. Intoxicating.

This collection was inspired by a visit to a 12th Century Cistercian abbey in Picardy and by a lifelong love of the French countryside. The day was balmy, the abbey breathtaking and we ate a lunch scattered with the most beautiful edible flowers.

The delicate hand painted packaging, an illustration of ‘fumaria officinalis’ with tiny pen and ink insects is reminiscent of a Grand Tour sketchbook and was commissioned by us from a Suffolk artist. Some of the fragrances tell the history of the abbey, whilst others are just inspired by the visit to France all those years ago.
