Special edition Black Phoenica Candle, Marie Claire

£30

You might not have heard of Ancienne Ambiance yet, but if you love scented candles, it's time to make firm friends with this small but perfectly formed luxury goods brand.

While jewellery, bath oils and pampering body products all feature in Ancienne Ambiance's collection, it is scented candles for which it is best known and the best reason to visit its website, www.ancienneambiance.com, in the run up to Christmas.

Amongst an extensive festive-season collection, the special edition Black Phoenicia Candle is our absolute favourite. Encased in stunning black glass, this couture beeswax candle burns for up to 60 hours and smells simply delicious.

The added incentive to buy? For its £30 price tag, the candle will be gift wrapped and shipped anywhere in the world - making it the perfect present to give or receive!
