Paddywax's Gingerbread House candle comes shaped like an actual gingerbread house, icing detail and all, with the roof lifting clean off to reveal the candle beneath. It's a Gingerbread Vanilla scent, warm and inviting enough to anchor a mantelpiece through the whole of December. Once it's burned through, the ceramic house keeps its shape as a trinket box.
A powerful scent or aroma can instantly transport you to another place. The fragrance of fresh pine needles takes us straight to Scandinavian forests, while the whiff of woodsmoke reminds us of campfires and coffee. It’s a combination of memory, emotion and nostalgia, triggered entirely by your sense of smell.
In a non-stop world, lighting a scented candle is a simple act that encourages us to take a moment, relax and breathe. US brand Paddywax understands this need intimately. Their soy wax candles are hand-poured in Nashville, Tennessee. And each one tells a specific story or evokes a particular place, thanks to a carefully selected blend of beautiful scents, all inspired by the great outdoors.
