The design process is based on the belief that its main competitors focus on either fragrance or packaging, and so they pour equal amounts of creativity into both of these aspects by using beautifully designed artwork packaging and a range of delightfully original and imaginative fragrances. esscentualcandles has gotten 2018 off to a fantastic start by winning a best product at Scotland’s Trade Fair in January. The retail-buyer panel of judges loved their take on packaging and fragrance, as well as price points as all of candle tin products retail for under £10. Following the very successful launch of the ‘everyday’ range of candles in 2017, esscentualcandles is now building on its range of wonderfully imaginative fragrance and beautifully stand-out artwork with its fragrance called ‘Nordic Sky.’ A refreshingly cool and minty fragrance, Nordic Sky is designed to capture the atmosphere of witnessing the amazing Northern Lights phenomenon. Specifically, this fragrance opens with top notes of Mint and Lily, leading to heart notes of Frosted Rose and Icy Eucalyptus and a base of Earthy Woods. Teamed with the gorgeously illustrated packaging, this candle is perfect for anyone who loves the great outdoors! T: +44 (0)7887 423 069 esscentualcandles.com
