LONDONS MAGNIFICENT SPIRIT CAPTURED IN A CANDLE

The world is in love with London, an iconic capital city marked by its wealth of history, collected over more than 2,000 years of life and incredible culture. Thanks to one of the UKs leading home fragrance houses, Ashleigh & Burwood, the very essence of this historic destination has been cpatured in a range of six decadent and evocative candle fragrances called the Tales of London.
The Tales of London candles are the perfect way to celebrate and remember London. The citys addictive charm and the very essence of its vibrant eccentricity have been beautifully captured in these 6 exquisite fragrances. Each fragrance releates to a specifice district of London: Buckingham - behind the magnificent gilded railings and famously guarded gates, a wonderful decadent fragrance creates an air of British royalty. Covent Garden - lose yourself in the traditional iconic flower markets with a blossoming combination of rose and jasmine notes, highlighted with hints of cinnamon, galbanum and rosemary. Knightsbridge - a fresh sophisticated scent of Harrods and the Royal Albert hall.

Piccadilly - the iconic presence of Eros influences this sweet, romantic and youthful fragrance. Portobello - deep and nostalgic notes of musk and precious woods. Westminster - imagine yourself amongst the historical seats of parliament with this sensually masculine fragrance. Every Tales of London candle is individually hand poured in the UK in to stunning heavy glass deeply engraved vessels, giving a timeless sense of the citys strength, heritage and opulence. Each candle is beautifully boxed and presented with its own fascinating printed history: a tale of its district. Fragrance has the power to evoke memories, elicit scentiments and awaken legends, each of these unique scents has been developed with this in mind, enabling you to lose yourself amongst the history of this wonderfully diverse city. "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." Samuel Johnson

Tales of London candles are also available in votives, either boxed into gift sets of three fragrances or individually. Also hand-poured in the UK they come in the same custom designed scents as the larger signature candles. The votives and signature candles combine top quality slow burning wax with the sublime fragrances, which, when poured into the heavy engraved glass vessels, give hours of resplendent burn time.
