Bella Freud Ciao Candle
£41

With notes of fig leaf, orange blossom and vetiver, Bella Freud’s Ciao candle will whisk you somewhere sunny. Plus, it has a charming backstory. Freud first met the late Anita Pallenberg in 1983 while she was living in Rome. ‘We forged a bond like two school friends,’ she has said of their close friendship. Years later, the pair met at Anita’s flat where they were discussing the word ‘ciao’. Freud misspelt the word so Pallenberg wrote it out for her on a yellow envelope that was lying around. ‘It was so immediate and beautiful, like Pop Art,’ Freud has said. ‘It is framed and I keep on my desk.’ This exchange inspired Freud’s popular Ciao range which includes this gorgeous scented candle. Could there be a more perfect house gift for friends or family this summer?
