Trend Prediction: Jonathan Ward Candles

Beyonce, Kelly Rowlands and notoriously hard to please Mariah Carey have all swooned for Jonathan Wards fabulous soy and beeswax candles that made their debut late last year. And, little wonder, because they are the most thoughtfully scented and constructed candles I’ve ever come across. Ex-fashion designer and formerly art directing for The Style Council, Jonathan’s innate intuition of what arouses the olfactory senses is extraordinary. I’m convinced that he’ll make waves across the industry with fragrances such as Cherrywood Falls (redwood, mahogany, morello cherry and wild plum) and Peonies In Paris (leather, coffee, tea rose and peony). At 28 pounds each, they are a deliciously under-priced luxury. www.jonathanwardlondon.com
