From Lumira, the Cyprès de Provence scented candle: "LUMIRA's candle evokes a Mediterranean journey, capturing the sweet essence of Orange Blossom and the woody notes of Cypress trees lining the streets of Provence. It's blended with spicy Pink Pepper and Cardamom and balanced with a warm base of Oriental Vanilla, Cedarwood, Amber and Musk." 300g, marked down from $70 to $42 at Net-A-Porter.
