Objects 1970 large-scented candle, Bella Freud

Bella Freud’s 1970 candle is one that shouts scent. Taking its name after the decade that popularised the fragrance of heavy incense, the graphic power of its design is almost synesthetic: a rich mixture of hand-poured natural mineral wax infused with luxuriously intense notes of vetiver, sandalwood, oakmoss and myrrh. ‘It’s very much about storytelling with the candles and fragrances, because a scent is so evocative. 1970 has a real frisson to it, a tension,’ says Freud. Set in gold colour and with a metallic shimmer, it strikes an indulgent and heady mood. This is one to save the date.
