Let the holiday candle season begin...the Fir (Pine) candle from Cire Trudon for holiday 2019. "...the brand’s Pine candle features woody notes of Siberian pine, Chinese cedar and Spanish cistus, evoking the cosy warmth of being indoors on a winter’s day. Crafted from rich beeswax, it will fill your home with gorgeous fragrance that last long after you’ve blown out the flame." Available in 270g, or in a holiday gift set, 3 x 100g, along with Gabriel and Nazareth. (Several of their other candles are also available at the moment in these limited edition, foiled glass finishes, including Ernesto, Amber and Solis Rex.) At Selfridges in the UK.
