Scenting my office this week: Jonathan Ward’s Santissima Amalfi Candle. I’m by no means a candle connoisseur and so I shall keep it brief and say this: it’s very potent. Even unlit, it is managing to overpower the various battling odours surrounding my desk, which include a banana skin that is festering in my bin, a knocked-over bottle of lavender cologne and a strange, garlicky smell, source as yet unknown. Santissima Amalfi is the first limited edition candle from Jonathan Ward – the packaging is beautiful, very simple and clean, and it comes in a hefty box so makes a perfect gift. You could just tie a nice big ribbon around the box and give as is! (Have we inadvertently stumbled into Keep Calm and Shop here?!)
