Illumens Abbaye Salon d'Epices Scented Candle

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.

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.
