London Fashion Week

 

 

All eyes and noses were on Giles Deacon and

 Miller Harris last night for London fashion Week.

 

Giles loves Miller Harris candles

 

Feuilles de Tabac candles scented backstage and the runway, for the second year running, a perfect addition to the mystery and classic elegance of The Stationers Hall, London.

 

 

Feuilles de Tabac drew on rich woods, tobacco leaves and spices taking you to the romantic brasseries of Saint-Germain, this combined with the ecclectic mix of 90's trainers, by Katie Grand for Hogan, bird-like head pieces and feather fringed dresses demonstrated the effortless chic that London based Giles is known for.

 

 

Rose en Noir is returning this September with a
candle to match; Autumn has never smelt better...

Rose en Noir among Lyn's summer memories

The return of Rose en Noir co-incides with something very special at Miller Harris .

La Fumée Ottoman

This is a limited edition, inspired by the iconic scent la fumée.

La Fumée Ottoman is a rich oriental fragrance centred on the ancient mystery of the Ottoman Empire. Incense and precious Turkish rose encircle dry and sensual woods in this dramatic arrangement of rose, spice and smoke.

Opening notes of bergamot, cardamom from Guatemala, rose and cumin from Egypt are combined with a sensual heart of incense from Yemen, cedar Maroc and patchouli. The final impression is one of smouldered embers, soft fruits, rose and amber.
