Posted by Robin on 16 April 2026 Leave a Comment

From Ozaiz, a 10 oz tumbler (they are sold separately as drinkware) with a 250g candle insert in Fig & Flowers ("A relatable but ever-changing aroma composed of crisp bergamot, warmed coconut and sparkling pomegranate entwined with a heart of royal green fig. Deepened with a harmonic base of delicate woods, sweet vanilla and soft amber"), $100 for the duo at Ozaiz, where the tumbler — which can be flipped to hold a pillar candle — is sold in teal (shown), frosted, charcoal or citron; there are also matching decanters. The candle refills are $42. Other fragrances include Oud & Bergamot, Santal & Spice and Cedar & Black Cherry.

French group Hermes led a slump ​in luxury shares on Wednesday after weak sales showed the war in Iran was weighing on demand in the Middle ‌East and tourism in Europe, dealing a blow to hopes of a revival for the sector.

Shares in the Birkin bag maker sank as much as 14% in early trade, with sales in the Middle East falling and fewer tourists buying designer items in Paris and London. The widespread impact of the conflict has been felt from Dubai mall sales to soaring energy prices hitting consumer confidence.
