This scene in a scent; a welcome sea breeze caresses the willowy, budding branches that drape over the rustic balcony, carrying their delicately floral scent in its path before passing over warm, sunkissed skin...

Although it is made in France, this Giambattista Valli Positano candle is a celebration of Italy – the colourful and sun-soaked cliffside village of Positano, to be precise. An unmissable collaboration between Italian fashion designer Giambattista Valli and one of the oldest candle companies in the world, this olfactory offering captures a scene of the Amalfi Coast on the cusp of summer: the bouquet of orange blossom, gardenia, white flowers, tuberose, lily, jasmine is fully in bloom, while notes of citrus offer a shot of sensory refreshment. A stunning addition to any bedside table, desk or mantelpiece, it's housed in an opulent, white vessel that will suit any space.
