1. Aotrom Moss, Aura and Vine
London-based lifestyle brand Aotrom (“light” in Scottish Gaelic) was recently founded by Hong Kong stylist and influencer Declan Chan, and hairstylist Jordan Robertson. The duo’s first collection of products, available at aotrombrand.com and Lane Crawford, includes three scented candles inspired by Scotland’s wilderness: Moss, Aura and Vine, each one housed in a sleek mirrored vessel.
2. La DoubleJ Milano
La DoubleJ’s Milano candle (US$193) pays homage to a city that is one of the world’s fashion capitals. It’s encased in a reusable 18k gold vessel and infused with a sensuous blend of jasmine, bergamot, rose and white musk.
3. Loewe Mimosa
Housed in a glazed terracotta vessel, Loewe’s Mimosa candle (US$170) is sweetly scented with a fragrance that evokes the brightly coloured flower – not the cocktail!
