Incense by Byredo

Slide1-kopia 2

Inspired by the warm and comforting scents of the festive season, Byredo‘s candle is a soothing, smoky blend of Incense and Eucalyptus, peppered with notes of Crisp Amber and Wild Patchouli. It has been handmade in France and comes in mouth-blown red glass vessel that can be used as a small vase or pot when finished. It really does make a lovely holiday gift.

December is right here – and yes, it’s that time of the year. Get Incense here before it’s out of stock!

Christmas like Dame Westwood

Vivienne Westwood Fashion Show, Paris, France - 1993

Autumn-winter 1993 / Falling, falling like snow.

Christmas morning and it feels like browsing old fashion collections for hours. Vivienne Westwood‘s 90s shows surprisingly (or rather not) feel extremely festive – literally, wish you look like Kate or Naomi, all dressed up in Dame Viv’s crotchet, platform shoes and layers of fur. An alternative, Christmas-themed break-down of Westwood’s style codes – you’re welcome.
