Ecoya Cedarwood & Leather Madison Jar, $39.95.

Remember when candles were strictly for birthdays and lighting up the dark when the power went out? Well those days are well and truly behind us and thanks goodness for it. Today, there’s an awesome range of beautifully-scented candles that can help transform a plain-old room into a cosy haven that soothes the soul. This candle is a fine example of exactly that. The deep, enveloping fragrance features a touch of vetiver and bergamot over a warm mix of leather, clove and cedar.
