A limited-edition candle created in collaboration between perfumer Lyn Harris and painter Will Calver to celebrate this holiday season.
Inspired by the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, the pair worked side by side to distil painted idylls into scent — each one a doorway into their shared world, where still life is reimagined in olfactory form.
Here the iconic utility candle is adorned with a golden leaf, echoing Will Calver's SMOKE IN WOODS painting.
In SMOKE IN WOODS, the warmth of a distant fire rises through green leaf, myrrh and wet patchouli, grounded by oak, cedar wood, birch tar and cade. Dark yet ethereal, the smouldering mystery of hidden embers is revealed — an intoxicating lightness that lingers.
Notes
Galbanum, Patchouli, Oak, Cedar Wood, Cade.

Storage InstructionsStore your candle in a dry, temperate place, between 15 and 25°C. Be sure to make your first use within 2 months of receiving your candle.
A hand-poured, custom blend of wax, and wicks constructed with natural fibres
How to useFor the best performance, burn the candle for 3 hours at a time. Keep the wick trimmed regularly to approx. 5mm. Clean and remove the bulb after burning and recenter the wick. For the first burn, the candle must liquefy the entire circumference (if you don't, your candle will start tunnelling). If the flame is too small, carefully pour out liquid wax. Candles must be placed on a receptacle or heat-resistant surface. Do not burn the candle all the way down to the base; always leave 1cm of non-molten wax at the bottom. Do not set in a draft. Do not leave a burning candle unattended.

Smoke In Wood
Splinters, ash, a thin thread of smoke rising from the ground. In the distance, the warmth of a fire hints at company — voices half-heard, shadows dissolving as swiftly as they appear — while green leaf, myrrh and patchouli root the air in the damp earth of a northern forest.
Oak, cedar and birch tar draw it deeper into darkness, until a breath of frankincense lifts the ember, its glow guiding through the night — a moment where woods and smoke conspire to lead you further in and lose you in their embrace.

A Painted Life
This Winter, Lyn brings together the worlds of perfumery and painting. In collaboration with Kent-based British artist Will Calver, she presents a triptych of paintings and their olfactory world, inviting the mind to wander through the senses.
"Perfumery works like painting.
You can't just use rose, you have to use spices.
You have to use a little bit of fruit.
You have to use a little bit of citrus, a bit of green, a bit of the balms.
We paint, but in an olfactory way - I create olfactory paintings.
Because for me, smell is my way of portraying my creativity.”
– Lyn Harris

Rose with Insect
A delicate classic with a darker touch—peach, neroli and cardamom collide with sandalwood and shadow.
Bird And Lemon
A feather falls silently into place, a lemon glints in the still light. Bergamot, apricot and oak unfurl.
