Price History
Description
This Mandarin, Clove & Cinnamon candle will fill your home with the scent of Christmas. Nutmeg and peppery cloves enhance the wintry aroma, with vanilla and cedarwood creating a warm, comforting base. The candle burns for up to 25 hours and comes presented in a festive gift box. This fragrance is part of the Citrus family of fragrances. Citrus scents are refreshing and zesty and may include notes such as lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, orange and mandarin amongst others.
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle for adding warmth and a festive touch to various interiors. Its rich cinnamon and clove scent makes it perfect for cosy living rooms or dining spaces, especially in autumn and winter. The red mix of wax adds a vibrant pop of colour, making it an attractive decorative piece even when unlit. For styling, try placing it on a marble tray or a wooden coasters alongside some seasonal foliage or neutral textiles to create a layered, inviting look. It works well in minimalist schemes as a statement piece, or grouped with other candles and natural elements for a more relaxed, layered display. Practical tip: position it away from drafts to avoid uneven burning and maximise scent throw.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
