Price History
Description
Scented candle redolent of ritual in its inclusion of Frankincense, Vetiver, and fresh notes of Shiso. Formulated with vegan-friendly ingredients. Ptolemy Aromatique Candle is named for an ancient Greek-Egyptian astronomer whose work informed much of medieval astronomy. Its resinous, earthy, woody fragrance brings to mind dense, old-growth Japanese forests. How to use: On first use, burn the Candle until the entire surface melts. Subsequently, ensure the wick is trimmed to a maximum length of 5mm, to help prevent smoke and residue. If necessary, re-centre the wick with care after extinguishing the flame - while wax remains molten.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Aesop Ptolemy candle for its sleek, minimalist design and subtle branding, making it versatile enough to suit a range of interiors. Its clean, understated look works particularly well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired spaces, but can also add a touch of sophistication to more eclectic settings. Practical styling tips include pairing it with other neutral-toned accessories for a calming, cohesive look or using it as a focal point on a coffee table or sideboard. Its 300g size ensures a good burn time, making it both a practical and stylish addition to any room seeking a warm, inviting atmosphere.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
