Luxury Swedish beauty and wellness brand Byredo never fails to impress. What started out as a fragrance brand has now branched out and expanded its offering with scents still being at the forefront in their products. New to the market are two fragranced candles that provide the ultimate olfactory experience at home. Byredo introduces Cotton Poplin, a comforting scent that recalls freshly-washed linen with notes of chamomile, luminous cedar and tender musk; and Woods, which is just like a journey through the forest with its complex layers of soothing cedar wood, jasmine petals and deep Tuscan leather. Byredo’s permanent candle collection is also worth checking out, some of our favourites include Bibliothèque, Burning Rose and Safran.
