Object Psychoanalysis Candle by Bella Freud

£50

With World Mental Health Day on the horizon, this week The Wick is thinking about artful objects that encourage a little slowing down. Bella Freud’s Psychoanalysis candle is a good place to start. Hand-poured in natural wax, the fragrance opens with neroli and lilac, followed by tobacco flower and amber, with cedarwood at the base. The black vessel carries Freud’s instantly recognisable graphic lettering, making it as much an object for the room as a scent for it. With a 40-hour burn time, it is made for long October evenings. Light it, put the phone down and let the evening get a little less busy.
