Spotlight on Fornasetti candles



Fornassetti Profumi has built up quite a reputation for its continually evolving range of home scenting fragrances combined with decorative pieces. 

You buy Fornasetti candles as much for the beautifully designed quirky lidded containers as you do for the seductive fragrances. Once the candle has finished you have a lovely piece to stash away such things as jewellery or cotton wall balls.









I am loving the La Femme aux Moustaches (£115, Selfridges) candle showing the face of the legendary opera singer, Lina Cavalieri. The scent is the signature ‘Otto’ This collection in association with Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris has been created to celebrate the Fornasetti exhibition – Piero Fornasetti.

The sophisticated Otto scent by master perfumer Olivier Polge is a melange of lavender, cedarwood with a hint of incense. It gives a warming and comforting feel to your home.
