Remember the oranges your grandmother studded with cloves before Christmas? This is that, with more attitude. Orange peel and a cool breath of eucalyptus open the air, then cinnamon, nutmeg and clove fill the room like mulled wine that has just come to a simmer.

Ylang ylang slips in an unexpected floral note, while vanilla and liquorice wrap everything in round, mellow warmth. Light it while wrapping presents, when friends drop by for carols, or whenever you simply want December to arrive early.
