From Parfums de Nicolaï, a Christmas Pudding candle: "Christmas pudding is a fruity, spicy treat with soft brioche notes. Reminiscent of a traditional Christmas pudding with custard, the vanilla facets channel the aromatic inflections of berries, grapes and plums. Clove and cinnamon are at the heart of this berry note, with vanilla and caramel coating the flavourful festive scent." 190g for €54.
