Next Home has been the sole interior design obsession that has spanned 20-plus years, for me. Considering it is a ‘high street’ store and megabrand, the taste and quality of everything they offer is simply unmatched.
As I started to decorate our new home, I ordered their golden amber fragranced candle and Poetry candelabra to build my gold, white, and black living room around (I later ended up purchasing a rather snazzy bed and mattress from them, which you’ll see soon!).
The candelabra is ‘shabby chic’ personified and the talking piece of the room, so far. Even without candles, it looks rich and worn in a way that completely justifies the £30 price tag.
The candle, unfortunately, arrived with the gold casing smashed. An issue that may have deserved a refund, yet the scent was so immediately intoxicating I chose to save everyone the trouble and simply fashion a new casing with aluminium foil to place in my silver-accented dressing room and office. With seductive notes of sandalwood and amber, this is truly a scent to beat all scents (‘Yankee’? ‘Malone’? Eat your heart out).
