Description
A scent that is reminiscent of the stacks of books and papers in Paul’s office and evokes libraries and warming amber. It is formulated with Jamaican pimento berry, grapefruit and cedarwood. Hand-poured and blended with premium ingredients, this candle is formulated to ensure exceptional scent diffusion. The wax is housed in a tinted glass vessel complete with a contrasting lid that doubles as a coaster, an expression of Paul’s fondness for colour and its endless combinations. When lit, you’ll notice it catches the light beautifully and once burned, it can be reused again and again. Why not give yours a new life as a pen or plant pot? Or perhaps use it to hold art supplies, toiletries, flowers or any bits and bobs?
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle for its bold, vibrant colour and the subtle nod to literary charm it offers. It works well in contemporary and eclectic interiors, adding a splash of colour and texture to side tables, mantelpieces, or open shelving. When styling with this candle, consider pairing it with neutral or minimal pieces to let its character shine, or incorporate it alongside other decorative books or objects to enhance a literary-inspired theme. Practical tips include placing it where the scent can gently disperse, such as in living rooms or bathrooms, and combining it with other textured materials like wood or linen to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Its striking appearance makes it both a practical scent source and an eye-catching accessory.

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.
