Atlanta Bartlett and
Dave Coote, the
husband and wife team
behind the Pale &
Interesting brand, share
their perfumed candle
picks to fragrance your
home all year round
“We just love scented
candles and how they
change the mood to suit the
seasons. Like fresh flowers,
they bring a room to life
and make a house a home.
Scented candles are
wonderful gifts and add
another rich layer to the
textures in your home –
from Cire Trudon, who
have been making candles
in France since 1643 and
indeed famously made
candles for Louis XIV
and Napoleon, to Bella
Freud, the UK’s own iconic
Brit knitwear designer.
We currently stock a
range of candles at Pale &
Interesting and in our shop
in Rye are building up a
‘library of scented candles’
giving you our handpicked
selection of the best smells
available on the market.
Here, we have tried
and tested the range to
handpick four candles:
one for each season.”

Scented candles
through the seasons
Spring
Cire Trudon - Manon £70
“This luxurious scented candle blends notes of linen, orange and
lavender to fill your home with a refreshing and lighthearted
scent. We love this candle – it make us think of fresh spring
mornings, of new beginnings, and could even inspire a bit of
spring cleaning! It’s so energizing and refreshing!” trudon.com
Autumn
Summer
Annick Goutal - Fleur de Tiaré €47
“This candle is one of the best summer scented candles
around. We love the sun-kissed glow it gives – full of
rich floral notes of frangipani, ylangylang, neroli and
tiaré flower. It reminds us of heady flowers and long
sunny summer days and sultry nights.” annickgoutal.com
Bella Freud - Signature Candle £40
“Autumn is all about preparing for winter. Stacking up logs, tidying
up the garden, making bonfires and the smell of smoking leaves.
For warmth and woody smokiness, we like Bella Freud’s Signature
Candle in a stylish black glass container with her dog motif. Blended
in the UK, this hand poured natural wax candle has a warming,
woody scent which combines smoked incense from Morocco with
cedarwood and rich resins of amber and myrrh.” bellafreud.com
Winter
Azzi Glasser - Black Moss £49
“The award-winning perfumer Azzi Glasser has launched her
five-piece candle range following the success of her fragrance
range ‘The Perfumer’s Story’ – we think they are amazing: deep,
complex and truly beautiful. Her Black Moss candle is rich,
luxurious and sensual, giving warmth in its scent and glow. It’s all
about wrapping up in thick, warm blankets and cuddling up. The
depth of black oak moss with notes of smoky oudh, is based on
an earthy accord of patchouli and musk. It’s the most welcoming
and memorable fragrance to the entrance of your home. We stock
all five of Azzi Glasser’s scented candles at Pale & Interesting.”
