Bella Freud’s 1970 Candle evokes the sexily heady scent of the incense that permeated the decade of free love and rock music. The intoxicating fusion of Frankincense, Myrrh, Oakmoss and Patchouli give way to the lingering base notes of Musk, Sandalwood and Vetivert – imagine the film ‘Almost Famous’ in fragrance form, and you get an idea of its hazily hippy sensuousness. The ideal olfactory accompaniment to an evening at home with your favourite Led Zeppelin record, this makes a gorgeous gift for a laid-back lady or your uber-cool girlfriend-who-has-everything; the perfect balance of masculine yet feminine, alluring yet insouciant… swoon. What’s more, the jar itself makes a gorgeous vase, pen pot or coin collector, long after its contents have been greedily inhaled.
Having made her name as a fashion icon and taste-maker, Bella Freud’s candles are as quirky and covetable as her signature sweaters (donned by the likes of La Moss, Alexa and the lovely Laura Bailey). Housed in chic matte black glassware - complete with a pleasingly weighted ceramic lid to seal in the scent between sessions - and embossed with a graphic white stripe, this makes a stand-out addition to any hearth, bookshelf or bedside table – and the super-sleek aesthetic is only the beginning… Made with hand-poured natural wax infused with the finest essential oils and extracts, this heady candle will fill your rooms with its intoxicating fragrance – even before being lit! However, if you’re able to bring yourself to set a match to it (it’s almost too beautiful to use), it will burn for around 40 hours – transforming your home both visually and aromatically into something you’d see on the pages of ‘at home with Vogue’.

Powerful and Sexy!
Firstly, I love the packaging, it looks so minimal and beautiful sitting on my desk. This is a really powerful scent, I could smell it before I even opened it and can smell it even it it's not lit. When lit, it has an inviting, woody, incense, and incredibly sexy scent that makes me feel warm, calm, and relaxed. Bonus points that the scents fills the room and beyond.

I fell in love...
I hadn't even fully unwrapped the box when the suave and provocative scent hit me. That is exactly the type of fragrance that I am drawn to with warm, woody, and incense notes. It boosts my mood every time I light it and it's a lovely one to have on when you are getting ready as its seductive vibes procure a powerful sense of confidence.

Smells insane!
Love how minimal this looks, smells so cosy and offers not only a long-lasting burn (40 hours!) But the scent is so lovely and extremely long-lasting without smelling too suffocating. Heavy packaging so it is definitely luxurious and perfect for gifting a candle connoisseur. Would recommend.

Gorgeous Candle
I am a bit of a candle fanatic and look for nearly absolute perfection from a luxury candle. Well, this is a sensational example of what the perfect candle should be. The musky scent travels though my room in a matter of minutes. It burns beautifully and evenly. The minimalistic jar design complements the rest of my decor so well. If you are looking for your next candle obsession, look no further! 1970 is the sexy heady scent you need.

Long Lasting Luxury
When I initially smelt this, it was like a very strong incense stick, but upon burning the candle, I soon fell in absolute love! It's not my typical candle scent, but it's intoxicating and truly a beautiful, relaxing scent. The atmosphere in the room changes, and the feeling of simply closing your eyes and deep breathing takes over! Suffice it to say I will repurchase, and this time try not to use it all up so quickly!

Fantastic!
This candle has the most incredible throw - I can light it for half an hour and my whole living room is filled with its stunning scent. It's my go to for when I have people coming over and want to freshen up my flat - will be grabbing Ginsberg is God next time!

A little luxury
A Bella Freud candle feels like the epitome of luxury, and the 1970 scent certainly makes a sensuous statement. The throw on this is second to none, it really fills a room and cocoons you in its hazy, heady aroma. A real hark back to the '70s, this olfactory delight makes the perfect gift (we're fully on board with gifting yourself too!) and even better? This can double up as a decadent vase once you're finished relishing every last whiff of this alluring fragrance.

Intoxicating
I fell in love with the description and had to buy. I actually don't think it's hippy at all, and the patchouli isn't paramount (which I wouldn't like) - it's just a wonderful mix of all the listed oils and as soon as I even took the wrapper off, let alone opened the box, the fragrance hit me.. and in a very good way. I won't need to burn this unless er, entertaining. The 'throw' (new one on me but everyone here is using it!) is really strong - and I LOVE that. Subtlety is lost on me with home fragrances - who wants a candle you can just about be aware of? Heady, with no one oil beating the others up. Gorgeous. And not hippy dippy IMHO...

No - just no
I really wanted to love this candle as I really like Loving from Bella's collection. But I am sorry to say ...1970 is just awful, to me it is almost sickening. It is very strong but this fragrance is simply not acceptable, very sharp. Maybe some people like it ... I would never buy thsi again and frankly I am disappointed with how bad it smells for the price I poaid.
