A Christmas to Remember

Christmas, the way I remember it

Every year I make one scent for Christmas: Pomander, my blend of sweet orange, cinnamon and clove essential oils. It's inspired by oranges studded with cloves and the Christingle tradition of light and hope in the darkest weeks of the year.

This year the Pomander family is bigger than ever. There's Postcards from Home, candles wrapped in the landmarks of Wales, London and Scotland. There's Christmas in London, and a limited-edition Sweet Orange & Clove All Purpose Cleaner for the kitchen. Alongside them you'll find the Pomander Christmas Trees candle, soap, wax melts and tea lights, plus gift sets that arrive boxed and ready to give.

Each candle can be refilled when it's finished, so the vessel can come out again next Christmas. Everything is made by hand in small batches in my studio in Abergavenny, and once this year's batch has gone, it's gone until next Christmas.
